Arm liposuction was performed.
A relatively significant amount of fat was removed, and noticeable changes are already visible at 1 month post-op.
At this stage, due to the contracture phase, it is common to experience:
✔ Irregularities
✔ Firmness
✔ Tightness
These are part of the normal healing process.
Over the next 3–6 months, these effects will gradually improve, resulting in a smoother and more natural contour.
Liposuction is not judged immediately after the procedure,
but by the final outcome over time.

Risks and side effects
Liposuction may cause swelling, bruising, pain, edema, skin irregularities or tightness, asymmetry, pigmentation, and scars at the small incision sites. Rarely, complications such as infection, hematoma, numbness, or reduced sensation may occur. On the upper arms, shoulders, and back, skin laxity, rippling, or a pulling sensation may occur.
These symptoms may occur during recovery and most improve over time, but their severity and the recovery period vary from person to person. If you have any concerns, please consult your doctor rather than judging for yourself.
