I had liposuction on my upper arms 2 months ago and still have noticeable stiffness, rippling, and hardness on the inner portion of my upper arms when I reach my arms over my head. I also have a hard dent on the outer side of one. It almost feels like I have ropes in my arms. Yes, I go for ultrasound & massages. Yes, I speak with my board certified ps, but in a larger forum, is this typical for the upper arms? If so, when can I expect them to look normal?

Wow. Strong question. But, Yes. You could possibly puncture a lung during liposuction if you were not careful. I have never seen it, but it is a VERY rare complication. It is like asking if a plane has ever crashed prior to booking a flight.Do your homework, read reviews, interview surgeo...
Liposuction under tum. local is so safe that so many patients with various health issue are fine doing it as long as the issues are controlled well. There is probably no reason not to get it done now.
Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Liposuction on your arms should not affect your tattoo. l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)
