I'm very concerned about my arms after Lipo! It's been 22 days since my procedure and I know that's early, but why do I feel unable to lift arms above head? Is this normal? When I raise my arms above head and feel my arm they feel very restricted like I would tear something if I reach any higher. What can I do about this? My stomach also looks burned after liposuction, why is that?

Answer: Why I can't raise arms above head w/out feeling like I tear something? Why does my stomach look burned after liposuction?
Thank you for asking about
your liposuction.Is it possible? Yes But it makes sense to wait at least 3 months and ideally be at or near your goal weight.This allows you to recover from the banding and see what weight loss will do for you.As you lose weight, you may be willing to wait...
Thanks for the question, I am sorry you are unhappy with your results. When I perform revision lip I typically go in without suction and spend a lot of time breaking up scar which can allow the skin to redrape evenly. I will only fat graft large "dents"
This is a not a cosequence of liposuction, have someone do an internal evaluation or see what has changed in your lifestyle or medications. Best, Dr. Emer.
