What's Recovery Like for Slim Lipo on Upper Arms?

Curious about recovery from Slim Lipo on upper arms. I'm currently recovering from abs/love handles and it was quite a challenge to fully stand the first couple of days. Just wondering in comparison, how I will be functioning after the arms compared to the abs. Can I drive the following day? Just needing an idea so I can plan accordingly.

A: Slim Lipo for upper arms

I am surprised at the length of your recovery for Slim Lipo of your abs and love handles. My patients have been extremely pleased with the short recovery period of the Slim Lipo but, there is definitely some soreness associated with the procedure. Your upper arms will definitely feel tight for several days and you will need to wear a compression garment for the first week. You should be able to resume light activity the day after the procedure, but, expect some tenderness for several days. Feel confident that you have made the right choice in procedures.

Seroma from Slim Lipo?

Is it possible to get seroma after having Slim Lipo done?

A: Slim Lipo and Seromas

Although seromas are a real potential complication with any liposuction procedure, my experience, thus far has been no increased risk with the use of Slim LIpo.  I have not had any seromas with the Slim LIpo technology, but, again, it is a real potential, yet minor complication.
