I had laser lipo 8 years ago and it was very painful. Afterwards its remained wavy, with dents and irregular contour. I am going for a brachioplasty at some point but I am concerned that because of these lumps which you can see on the surface and feel under the skin will not give me a good result. This disturbance is only on the front of my arms. There was no lipo on the arm backs so they are smooth. Can you help me?
Answer: Wavy Lumpy Arms post Liposuction Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, one of the risks of liposuction is having irregularities in the skin. It is important to see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon for your liposuction just to ensure that they use the right technique because using the wrong technique like using a very large cannula or sectioning superficially can all cause these irregularities. This is especially true for areas like the arms that do not tend to have a lot of fat. The irregularities are very difficult to improve once they are there and after 8 years, they probably will not get better on their own. I would suggest a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options.

Answer: Years after Lipo of arms, why are they wavy and lumpy? Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. This is the surgical procedure that revolutionized cosmetic surgery becoming one of the most performed cosmetic procedures. Subcutaneous tissue or fat is removed in order to contour the body in a way that is harmonious and pleasing to the senses. It can be performed in almost all regions of the body such as the neck, chin, abdomen, back, buttocks, thighs, arms and ankles. Usually done through a small incision in the skin through which a cannula connected to a vacuum is applied, it can be performed alone or in combination with other procedures. After liposuction your body is going to be really swollen for at least 2 to 4 months after your surgery. It is important for you to wear your compression garment for at least 6 months, the first 3 months 24/7 and then the last 3 months at least 12 hours per day for your body get use to not having the faja for so many time. When you remove it, your body can get swollen and also you can have pain. Remember to also compress your body to prevent a seroma which is an accumulation of liquid that has to be drained, it is hard to touch and also really painful. Bruises are completely normal for almost 3 months from surgery, that’s why is better for you to use a bruising cream and apply it all over your body 3 times a day. To prevent bad circulation and swollen legs, use compression socks. Brazilian butt lift can be performed with the same procedure and for a month it will be swollen and it will drop a little bit without losing it’s shape if you use your garment.. If you’re going to perform liposuction on your inner, outer, anterior, lateral, postetior thighs, be careful and consult with your surgeon what’s best for you, sometimes we have more extra skin than fat, that can cause severe sagginess on our legs, which can be only be reversed performing a thigh lift…

Answer: Post lipo deformities of arm The best way to correct post lipo deformities of the arm would be with a brachioplasty. In minor cases fat graft can help. This may have been over resected with the liposuction, although some people get contour abnormalities even if the procedure was done correctly.

Answer: Years after Lipo of arms, why are they wavy and lumpy? Thank you for your question. The dents and irregular contour were most likely from uneven liposuction and unless addressed during your brachioplasty they would likely remain to some extent. See a board certified plastic surgeon in consultation, they can offer you the best treatment option based on an in-person examination.
