A year ago around Jan. 15 to be exact, I had lipo on my upper arms. My doctor took a bit of a lot of fat there (it has been fat since I was in high school) and I am pleased with the results except that I was kept under local anesthesia and it did hurt and felt uncomfortable during the last parts of the lipo process, he stopped.Now I think the uneven part looks very obvious. What can I do about it? Thank you.
