I arrived for my procedure on yesterday. I feel great I can move my arns and I would do it all over again. Because i'm only one day post-op I haven't seen a dramatic difference but I trust my doctor and get work, so I know that this Summer I will be wearing short sleeve shirts and dresses.

Day 2 and 3- I had to wait for my husband to get off work in order to shower and help remove the bandages and cg; I have been draining alot, but nothing dramatic. While the cg the doctor gave me was in the washer I put on the cg I ordered from makemeheal.com; however they sent me a XXL which is too big, but it helps while the orginal is washing and drying instead of having nothing at all on. I can notice that my arms before and now are very different although its been just 2 days post op. I do have soreness and most of my swellness is under the armpit area which hurts when getting dressed. Other than feeling like i have overworked out my arms I feel great. I took a week off work just to rest and make sure all drainage has stop and as of today the right arm is great and the left arm is coming along. Can't wait to see what the end is gonna be.

Day 4, 5, & 6- I haven't had to take any pain meds. I have only felt soreness. I was able to do housework, drive, and I went out on a date with my hubby. I have been able to resume all regular activities. I have no regrets and would do it all over again. I am still swollen in upper arm area also lumps close to armpit but nothing unbearable. I gently massage arms whenever I think about it. I also still have numbness. My right arm drained for 2 days left arm just stopped today. Let me see, overall the experience has been great and i can't think of why one shouldn't do it. Please feel free to ask me about anything I fell to cover in my reviews. Also, ab surgery has been rescheduled from Feb.12th to Fri, Jan. 25th.

Wow your arms are amazing. Great work, I called Dr. Boutte's office and they told me 3500 for arms and I thought that was absurb. Thats the only thing that deterred me. How long did it take for your arms to be lipoed?

Well she had an end of the year special for both arms $1800.00 with the purchase of something else. So I'm getting my upper/lower abs done, flanks and dimpling in buttock for free, and bra roll. Im playing extra for the bra roll. So I jumped on the arms. It took 4 hrs to complete my arms.
January 21, 2013
Thats good. Does she have specials often like that? I am in North Carolina and I really would like her to do my arms I would just like to get the best price considering I have to travel so far.
January 21, 2013
Yes. They run different specials all the time. You just have to watch the site to see what specials are running at a particular time. I hope you find what you are looking for.
January 21, 2013
Where do you see the specials on the site? I have looked and the ones they have on their are expired. Maybe I should call tomorrow. Who did you speak with to schedule your consultation. Thanks for your help.
January 22, 2013
The specials are under the specials tab. You can ask for Crystal or schedule with the receptionist. You should call tomorrow you would love the results.

Can you post more pictures please?
January 21, 2013
Great. Thanks so much. Ill be waiting to see them. Do you know how many cc's she took out or what the inch difference is at the time?
January 21, 2013
I don't know how many cc's was taken out, but I was 16 in. before and as of today I'm 13 1/2 so in almost a week I have lost 3 1/2 in. off my arms. I'm already getting into coats and shirts I couldn't get my arms in before.
January 21, 2013
Thats good. Do you still have a lot of swelling? Are you currently on a workout plan or anything to lose weight? What is your plan to maintain the arm reduction?
January 22, 2013
I do still have swelling, but nothing unbearable. I am currently not working out. I have a membership with weight watchers to maintain 1200 to 1800 cal., but that's about it. Once the fat cells are destroyed in a certain area there is no returning; however, you may gain in an untreated area. To answer your question though, after my abs surgery on this coming Friday once i'm healed enough I have purchased a treadmill and Brazilian Butt Lift system, but until then lots of water and portion control.

Yes I was doing good on my weight loss and I slacked up with exercise unintentionally from school. I plan to have a bbl around the summer time but I do not want aggressive lipo on my arms so I figured smart lipo was better there and less invasive! I will be starting back on my regimen no doubt this week. Thanks for answering all my questions. I am looking forward to hearing any weight loss from the arm lipo as well as reductions and PICTURES! Thx

Thanks for sharing your story and pics. I go in to have my arms done in two days, and I'm excited and nervous! You're results so far are awesome and very encouraging. My arms are about the same size as yours. If I get the same results I'll be ECSTATIC!
January 22, 2013
First off there's no need to be nervous. You will do great, look great, and feel great. You will get the same results are even better. I wish you well and don't forget to post pics and keep us updated on your results.

January 22, 2013

Was this procedure done in the Doctor's office or did you have to go to the hospital ?. It looks very good, I see big difference
