I had Vaser done 2 weeks ago today. I've been wearing my compression garment all day minus showering, the 5 MLD massages, and washing the garment. The bruising is all but gone, but my arms still (I hope) are quite swollen. Today, I noticed that there are striations along the backs of my arms and a large bulge above my elbows. What is causing the striations? How can I tell what is fluid that will be absorbed vs tissue that is here to stay?
