Distortion occurs when I "Combine" two distinct objects
I am combining an arm with a hand I created.
I go to Mesh>Combine - but when I do, the hand becomes extremely blocky and geometric once they combine.
And ideas?

How can I take this off? Then should I combine?
And yes the arm and hand are both polygonal surfaces.
Very weird.

However, multiple components make up both my hand and arm. Instead of selecting everything at once, I selected two pieces at a time, combined, and then repeated the process until everything was together. No distortion that way.
I appreciate your help!!
