I had bbl arm lipo seven weeks ago and I have constant pain in my right arm and a weird rash. Is it fibrosis? What may caused the rash and why is there pain? It hurts so bad randomly like sharp pains and the rash hasn’t gone away for weeks. There are lumps big and small ones. Please give me your opinion on what you may think it is

Answer: #Realself-rash and pain after arm lipo. Is it fibrosis? The description you've provided is very unique - it could be fibrosis due to the Liposuction. The rash is something that is not easy to connect to surgery. Perhaps it could be a dermatological problem. I think that this is something that you should discuss with both a Dermatologist and your surgeon.

Answer: Massage after lipo is crucial You are early after surgery. At this time you need to massage the lipo areas to help smooth out all these lumps.The rash may be completely unrelated.Pain is not unexpected, should improve with massage.

Answer: Concerns after arm liposuction at seven weeks your results are starting to approach your final outcome. You're about 80% there I don't know what the rash is from. You should check with your plastic surgeon, consider talking to your primary care doctor and or checking with the dermatologist if you don't get resolution. It appears your treatment was on the heavy-handed side. Some people refer to this as fibrosis. That is somewhat of an in precise term. It is a combination of having excessive amounts of fat removed with the formation of scar tissue without proper soft tissue padding leaving patients with skin over muscle with only a small layer of scar tissue rather than fat. It is not so much excess of scar tissue as it is a excess removal of fat. Unfortunately this is very difficult to correct if you're not happy with the outcome. Personally I don't believe any secondary treatments like massage or radiofrequency will have any significant impact on your outcome. The outcome is determined exclusively by how the procedure is performed. Pain is usually gone at seven weeks. People who have been over treated often have pain lasting longer.I hope that helps.
