“Liposuction of the Arms”

My Dr. told me that the end result would be slight since my arms were not huge to begin with. But for me I still had swelling at 3 weeks. You need to wear a garment on your arms, are you? That will really help and only take it off when you shower. Remember when you have lipo they push fluid into your arms for the tissue to absorb so that takes time to leave your body and it goes away quicker with a garment. Hope this helps, if you have more questions feel free to ask. Nancy

My results are not worthy of a photo. Most people would say I didn't need the work done to begin with, in fact no one in my life will know since I don't feel the need to tell them. I don't want you to feel that what you did wasn't worth the cost, healing and annoyance of wearing the garment. So you need to know my stats to understand. I am 5'9" and weigh 121 pounds and am 37yrs young! ha, My arms were never "large" to begin with, my measurement was 10" and now is 9 1/2". I had them sculpted. I knew my results would be very slight. But, when I had that done I had many other procedures done at the same time. My Dr. had me stop wearing the garment at 3 weeks but the more they take out the longer you will need to wear the garment. I am 41 days post op. I am happy to share any info that I can. Nancy

I'm no model, but nice thought! If your arms were only 10" to begin with it sounds like your a very small person to begin with too. I am still only a 9 1/2"but my arms are more sculpted than they were, I am looking forward to finishing off the look in the gym. What are your stats if you don't mind me asking, and did you have any other procedure done outside of your arms? A side note is my arms are still pretty tender and a little numb are your arms like that too?

Wow, you sound like your in much better shape than I am. I must say I really don't see too much of a difference. I do think I have a slightly better shape now but, was it worth it? I guess so, anything for me is better. My arms measured 10" and are now at 9 1/2". Remember they need to leave a layer of fat around the arm so you don't get puckering (Tara Reid's belly) my slight swing I had under my arm I would say is now gone. I didn't tell my brother I had it done and when he saw me in a tank at 3 months post op he said "Damn nice to see your taking care of yourself!" So, I think yes, it helped he's a very honest person and doesn't blow smoke just to make you feel better. My one bit of advice is ask about the scar you will have on your elbow. I didn't and was kind of taken back when I saw I had a scar at all. I know stupid of me but I kind of thought they would go through my arm pit but no it's the elbow and that only makes sense when you think about it. I would say in the end when I look in the mirror I now see more definition in my shoulders because my arm is slight smaller now, so I wouldn't say my triceps don't look any more defined. My arm just looks thiner so it makes my shoulder stand out, which I do love. By the way I am currently 4 months post op and still have numbness in the under part of my arm, it tingles in areas. On a side note: I have always dreamed about taking an aerobic class but I am afraid of looking stupid when I don't know what to do, think I could do it? Do you really get much out of doing it? Hope I was some help, I am happy to share so ask away if you have more questions. Nancy
