I'm two weeks post circumferential arm lipo and can't fully Lift my arms above my head. It feels like a tight band pulling in the armpit area. Will this subside? Should I stretch?

Answer: Arm tightness after liposuction Thanks for the question. It is very important to stretch your arms and maintain full range of motion after liposuction. Scar formation will occur after liposuction but it is really important to stretch any tightness in the postoperative period. It is rare that physical therapy is needed but a visit to your treating surgeon should determine if this is needed.
