I had liposuction on my upper arms 3 wees ago. I noticed a huge indent on my arms took a picture and texted it to my doctor. He told me to remove the ace bandage immediately. I did I am wearing compression garments now but still have these horrible indents. Will they go away? My lipo wasbfor de-bulking so I can have an arm lift later. However, I prefer not to have these indents.

Sometimes the best result in this area is with skin removal however, VASER HI DEF liposuction can make significant improvements. I would consider a 4D hi def consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.
It is not uncommon to leave a liposuction incision site open to allow it to drain. The extrusion of fat can be trimmed by your plastic surgeon. It is extremely rare to get an infection whether the incision sites are sutured or left to drain.
It should not be a problem if you have Raynaud's, but it is always a good idea to review this with your internist to determine if you are medical cleared for the procedure.
