I am sorry you went through that. In my experience, from a photo alone it is not possible to tell exactly how much of the dent is scar tethering versus fat loss, but old traumatic depressions are often treated by releasing the scar tissue and adding volume with fat grafting. Some patients need more than one session, especially if the tissue is tight or the area is deep.
For the arms, I would first determine whether the issue is mostly extra fat or loose skin. Liposuction can help selected patients with good skin tone, while significant arm wing laxity usually needs an arm lift to tighten the skin. An in-person exam would let a plastic surgeon match the plan to your skin quality, scars, and donor fat.

I am truly sorry to hear about the trauma you have endured, and I want to validate that seeking physical restoration is often a very powerful step in reclaiming your sense of self and confidence. For the "dent" you described, which we clinically call a contour deformity, autologous fat grafting is an excellent option; we can harvest fat from one area and use it to precisely fill and smooth that injury site for a natural, permanent feel. Regarding your arms, at age 50, we would evaluate whether the "wings" are primarily excess fat or loose skin; if it’s the former, specialized liposuction can offer great results, but if there is significant skin laxity, a brachioplasty (arm lift) would be the most effective way to give you the freedom to wear sleeveless shirts without hesitation. These procedures are about more than just aesthetics they are about helping you feel comfortable and secure in your body again, and I would encourage you to consult with a compassionate, board-certified plastic surgeon who can help you prioritize these goals in a way that feels safe and empowering for you.
