After arm lift with liposuction, I have creases and pain when I bend my arms. What caused this and can it be corrected? (photos)

HI GardenGirl2017, Thank you for your questions and pictures regarding your arms after arm liposuction. Since you are now 11 months from your arm liposuction, I would advise you to revisit with your plastic surgeon. Because of your arm asymmetry, I would suggest arm liposuction revision.  This is a relatively minor procedure.  Often, arm liposuction revision can be performed in the office under local or IV sedation.  Good luck.  Thank you for your questions regarding the appearance of your arms after arm liposuction.  If you have any more questions regarding arm liposuction, arm liposuction revision, arm lifts, arm reductions, or brachioplasties, please contact my office. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen. 
 
 

You appear to have an irregular contour that may be improved with revision surgery.  You need an in person consultation to determine your options and the cause of your discomfort but you may benefit from some lymphatic drainage and physiotherapy.  Return to your surgeon for a review.

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos, I can see subtle contour irregularity which potentially can be improved with revision. From your history, it appears that you may benefit from exercise and / or physical therapy to improve range of motion and strength. I cannot visualize significant residual swelling but the photos offer only a limited view.I recommend an thorough evaluation by a board certified plastic surgeon to determine the value of physical therapy and to ascertain the source and treat the origin of your pain.Best wishes!
