After having Regular Lipo on the inner and outer thighs a few years ago and seeing NO results, I chose Smart Lipo this time for my Arms and Neck...

I LOVE THE RESULTS and I am only in week 3 of recovery. I can totally see a complete change in my arms and neck.. Surgery was easy with no pain, I was awake and went home within 2 hours. The first few days I was super tired, but slowly regained my strength each day... Healing has been fast and easy.

My Doctor and Staff were fantastic, I was taken care of like a queen. I highly recommend Dr. D for all your needs, she is 100% real and down to earth.

Hi Sharon... from Sharon. :) Welcome to RealSelf! Thanks for sharing your Smart Lipo experience with us. Are you fully healed or do you still have some swelling left?

Are you still happy with your smart lipo of your arms?
freefallwife 26 May 2012
Very Happy. After you have lipo, sometimes your body will compensate and build fat in another area. After my lipo of my legs in 05, my once normal arms got bigger and bigger. I was so embarrassed. I love my arms now. They aren't perfect but they are no where near as big as they were.

I was wondering do you have any loose skin on your arms or any wrinkles on your arms? Can you wear sleevless shirts. I had smartlipo 5 weeks ago, i am still swollen and not sure of my results yet. Did you wear compression sleeves if so for how long ? Thanks !
freefallwife 29 May 2012
Hi meme504, I do have some loose skin, mostly close to my underarm. I have to tell myself it so much better than what I had, so just live with it. lol
I wear sleeveless shirts all the time. We live in Florida, so sleeveless tank tops are my life. I did wear a compression garment for a full 6 weeks. The tighter the better, so your skin will attach back to the muscle. If your not wearing one, your not going to have the best results. I did stay swollen for quite a long time, and then they got really hard and lumpy. I just sat in bed at night and massaged them, working out the hardness. It goes away over time. Good Luck with your arms. I'm so glad I did it.

I had very large arms, it is hereditary in all the women in my family. I hated them and wore long sleeves all the time. I live in Louisiana and it gets very hot here, yesterday it was 100 degrees. I started off with extra large sleeves, then medium and now i am wearing small sleeves. I have been wearing them for 5 weeks today. My doctor says to wear them for 3 weeks but i want to wear them longer for a better result. Also i have a cut under my arms like a minor brachioplexy. I dream of wearing tank tops or short sleeves. Also, my doctor ordered endomology for me, its like a vacuum on my arms to smooth out the lumps and bumps. It hurts bad but they say it is worth it. Thanks so much for all of your help.
