I am 26, 5"2 1/2, small boned, currently 106lbs, my weight can fluctuate by about 14lbs. However my arms never get 'skinny' even at this weight. I'm planning on putting on weight (going back up to 116-120lbs) in future for a bbl & would like to include my arms for fat transfer & to get them slim & tight as possible. Will my skin ping back or will there be some sag? It does just feel like fat under my skin rather than sagging at the moment. Thank you for your answers.

Hello, thanks for your question!It is normal to experience swelling 4 weeks after liposuction. I will encourage you to continue to wear your garment around the clock and give your body a chance to heal. Swelling after liposuction can take several months to completely go away....
There's always swelling and inflammation after liposuction and it can make the treated areas seem lumpy and bumpy. That almost always goes away with time, unless there is some retained fat that may benefit from a small finessing procedure. Be patient. It will take months to see the final result....
From the photographs provided it looks as though you would get a good result from liposuction around the knee. It's important to use the very small cannulas in this sensitive area.
