“Smart Lipo for Arms - Poor Results”
In 2007 I had External Ultrasonic Liposuction with Smart Laser on my upper arms to reduce the overall size and make them more in proportion to my petite frame. First the ultrasonic lipo was performed, followed by the Smart Lipo.
I don't think the Smart Lipo worked, and I'm not sure the doctor did the procedure in the right order. Also, when he used the Smart Lipo wand, it was only a few seconds on each arm. I would think that part should have lasted longer.
My results are not satisfactory at all. While I can tell there is less fat, the skin did not retract or tighten in any way and now my arms look worse than before. They are the same size (circumference) just less full with loose skin.
I'd like your opinion as to whether or not the procedure was done correctly and do you think trying just the Smart Lipo (with a different doctor)would tighten the skin now?
Updated on Aug 2, 2009:
If liposuction is performed first followed immediately by the Smart Lipo wand, can you expect the same results, or should the Smart Lipo wand be used first? And if lipo was done previously but now I'm just looking for skin tightening, can I just do Smart Lipo? Might that help tighten the skin?
