Is the Pinch in my Arm a Normal Side Effect of Liposuction?

piepie
Hi, doctors. I had upper arm liposuction surgery 4 months ago and have fully recovered-no bruises or swelling. However, every once in a while I feel pain like a pinch within my arm for a few seconds. It goes away after I massage the pinch area for a few seconds. Please let me know what is causing that pinch and if it's normal after lipo arm surgery. Thank you!
