I had an arm lift with lipo 6 weeks ago. My left arm seems to still have puckering especially near the end. I’m using silicone gel and also bio oil. I still have swelling in my forearm as well. Will this puckering eventually go?

Answer: Puckering after Arm Lift It is very common to see some degree of puckering on the Arm Lift incisions. Massaging will help a lot to make the fibrosis softer and that will “release” the adhesions. In case they remain after 3-4 months please check with your surgeon the options.Dr. Cárdenas

Answer: Post-Op Puckering Hello! Thank you for your question. You are only 6 weeks from surgery, and your swelling is still prominent. Until the swelling subsides completely, you shouldn't jump to any conclusions about what your final result will look like. (In other words, the puckering may subside with time.) If you still have puckering 3-6 months after surgery, you should schedule an appointment with your plastic surgeon to address your concerns. Best of luck! Matthew A. DelMauro, M.D.
