I had my arms done 1 1/2 years ago and they only swell when I work out.  I  still wear my compression garment when I go to the gym and it helps a lot.  Other than that, I can't offer anymore information.  I think 3 years is a very long time for having edema - I have a feeling it might not be related to your arm lift.  Give your PCP a call and see if he/she can check on you.

Had my arms done three years ago too....mine have gotten loose and I have no feeling on my right  arms from the elbow down....its like when you go to the dentist and that blah feeling after you get the needle.....the nerves are damaged and like you said, it is a chance we take when getting it done, but compared to what they did look like and now...I'll take now...how did you get your money back?  my one needs to be fixed and I'll have to pay.........
