Got arm lipo on Jan 14 and have worn my garment everyday for 4 weeks. My left arm looks wrinkly. Thoughts? (photos)

It can take several months longer for swelling to completely resolve on a microscopic level, and your skin can take longer than that to fully retract and tighten. Wait 6-9 months, then discuss your results with your surgeon if you still have concerns.  

It is too soon to tell what your final results will be. You likely have swelling, which can last 3 to 6 months after your procedure.I recommend following up with your physician about their suggested after care protocol. I have my patients wear compression for 3 to 6 weeks straight then overnight for 3-6 months after their procedure. I suggest adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding Vanquish for further fat removal; truSculpt iD, Exilis, Forma, and Venus Legacy for additional skin tightening; and Cellutone / ZWave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance.Ultimately, if you are unhappy with your results, please speak to your physician and ensure that he/she was a full body VASER Hi-Definition liposuction physician with extensive experience in contouring and shaping -- and not just traditional fat reduction. You can always get a revision procedure by an expert if needed. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear nlpL7g6adi,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a tliposuction surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides  you will be able to see the final result of your surgery.

I appreciate your concern, however it is still fairly early in your recovery journey from liposuction. It can take as long as six months for all swelling to resolve and skin to retract and all scar tissue to soften.  Too Early to evaluate your results now. Try to stay patient and positive and follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Dear nlpL7g6adi,Thank you for your question. After liposuction skin can become loose and stretch marks can become more visible. Any liposuction consultation should include a discussion about skin elasticity. I would return to your surgeon and discuss if you have not already.Good luck,Nirmal R.

Thank you for your pictures and questions. It can take 3-6 months for swelling to subside after liposuction. Contour deformities are the most common complication after a procedure like this. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon.Dallas R. Buchanan, MD, FACSOwner & Board-Certified Plastic SurgeonVIVIFY plastic surgery

Hello dear!!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
You are still early on the healing process, it can take up to six months to see your final results, so please be patient. This should improve with time.
If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon.
Good luck :)

Thank you for your question. It will be helpful to see prep pics for comparison. It usually take 6 months for skin to shrink. Stretch marks skin shrink less. Venus legacy might help. Please talk to your for evaluation.

The skin of the inner surface of the arm is always looser than the skin on the outer surface. I don't know what your skin looked like before  or how much fat was removed. Based on the pictures, I think you got a good result. I don't think the wrinkling is a stigmata of excessive fat removal. 

Your arm is not nearly healed. It will take three or four months for everything to be it's best. The best thing you can do for yourself is the massage that area  with a deep tissue type of massage. Try to get it to heal its best. If it feels tight when you move that also  goes along with  swelling.Go see your doctor and ask him or her what they think and what the best thing to do is. My patients never look their best at one month.
