Smartlipo of the chin/neck, arms and upper back - Manhattan, NY

I went to Dr yesterday after work and he did a small revision under local on the chin, basically he went back in with the smart lipo to take out the hanging fat (pic is from a few days before in-office revision). He said he beat me up a lot more than intended, which sounds promising, and was happy to report that he got out some scar tissue too, because that doesn't always occur. That being said, we didn't touch the neck or jaw line because those are looking good. Didn't sleep well and feeling light-headed from the pain meds, but am hopeful we got it this time! I was told to wear the chin strap garment overnight, but I still have it on 24 hours later (I worked from home today so it wasn't inconvenient). The one chin stitch is scheduled to come out in 5 days.

Arms and back are continuing to improve. The hanging skin by my arm pits is mostly gone and the upper back has smoothed out nicely. Still a little numbness and "cellulite" looking bumps on the triceps but a great improvement overall! Looking forward to re-measuring circumference, pre-op right was 11 inches and left was 12.

Some hardness still under the chin, Dr said we may need a slight touch-up at 3 months if it is still there. Arms are smaller, but almost look like they have cellulite, was told they should smooth out. Tricep area is still a little numb, tingly, soar feeling. Back is smoother, less bulgy.

Still a little pain and numbness in certain positions and wearing the compression garment 'round the clock. Also, I have hardness and lumps in all the places I smart lipo'd, but especially under my chin. Definetly need to ask Dr. about it next week at my 3 week out appt. Bruising is just about gone.
