Laser Lipo on Arms - Swelling, but No Bumps or Bruising

I got laser lipo on my arms on March 2nd (2 weeks and 2 days ago). I did a good job of wearing my garment 24 hrs. for the first week, but the 2nd week I was travelling and didn't do a very good job at keeping it on for 12 hrs. a day.

My arms are still swollen (at least I hope that's what it is ; ) but there's no bruising, no bumps, and hardly any pain at all. The only time I feel pain is when someone forgets about my surgery and grabs my arm, or when I make some kind of weird movement during sleep. St. Pattys day was the worst HAHA all that pinching !

Anyway, I can't say whether or not it was all worth it yet as they're still swollen and it's too soon to say, but I'm hoping for good results. I missed my 2 week follow-up appointment because of the travelling, so we'll see. I'll keep everyone updated and post pics because those helped me a lot when I was looking into getting the surgery done.

Great review?

He took the time to explain everything in great detail, he was really well educated about the procedure. I always felt free to ask him questions. He was patient. He made the procedure go as smoothly as possible, and I liked him a lot. Great guy. Smart.

Do you have any progress to report? I'm close to booking my appointment for my arms and would love to know others' experiences. Thanks and I hope it's going well!
