Brief Answer:
Fat deposit only.
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to HCM. I have read your query. I understand your concern.
As per detail, it seems that you have developed collection of fat underneath skin. You got the liposuction done 5 years ago. In liposuction, the local accumulated fat is taken out by doing suction. But in case you have tendency of fat accumulation under skin, the condition reccurs. Liposuction is procedure which provides temporary benefits only.
Now first of all I would advice you to get your thyroid profile and lipid profile done so as to rule out any evidence of related issues.
Treatment would be be regular exercises, weight reduction as well as shoulder and arm muscles strengthening exercises.
For cosmetic results you may either choose liposuction again or alternatively you may for skin tightening by using threads.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
