Smart Lipo on Arms...can Tell Ill Be Smaller

WORTH IT$3,500
So its been 4 years since i had the surgery - there are pluses and minuses to this and i am sure there have been advances to this technology. For example I heard Vaser is now the replacement of this which includes the skin tightening for after. I am very happy with my results but this is also part to me continuing to lead a healthy lifestyle - it is NOT a solution to being fat. If you are overweight and have been working out and eating healthy and have stubborn areas to get rid of ..then i suggest this for you. If you just dont want to work out and want a quick fix. It won't last. POsting updated photos.

Hi there. To answer your question am I happy with my results the answer would be no. It was also a waste of money and no I didn't have improvement as I was told.

To answer your question about MY results, YES i am totally happy and would have done it again. You have to remember you MUST workout afterwards. Once you heal you cannot go back to eating everything and laying on the couch. I have continued my workouts and eating healthy. So the results are fabulous. One thing i will say is that my skin has change of color now in the temperature or when i work out...like it looks flushed sometimes. and the shape is a little off. Like my triceps when i flex look like drumsticks. So i would never do my legs for fear of messing up the natural shape of my legs. however my arms are AMMMMAZING...will post pics in a few minutes.

11/17/08 - DAY 3....So i woke up this morning and was able to remove the ace bandages - no leaking. What made the pain worse was the tape/bandaids ripped my skin so those areas are very tender....I iced my arms last night and am still swollen but not as bad. I can see a slight difference but still have to wait it out. I am bruised very badly but dirving wasnt bad this morning to work - where i am now. It feels tight and very sore. I will update tonite with more photos

Thanks soo much for the photos of before and after with the bandages. I'm sorry you are sore but to be expected. I'm going this Sunday to have my chin, arms done and then December 6th to have my stomach, love handles and thighs done.

I loved sleekmed spa...they are very helpful ask for Voula she is AWESOME at explaining everything and everyone there has hasd something done so they can explain it. Today is day 9 - my arms are DEF smaller, still sore and now i am getting these hard spots and little hard lumps that i was warned about - so i was told to massage them and they will go away...they are painful tho!!! Day 9 results are def visible. Also still bruised a bit. I would def do it again if i was to look back ...I am no longer itching by the way and can do alot more than the first week. I did my cardio workouts in the gym for the first tim elast night

11/16 DAY 2...ok so i woke up today and my entire LEFT arm from my armpit to my hand is swollen!!! My right arm is fine...of course there is pain...i can move around with a little whimpering here and there. Also last night my friend was kind enough to bring me ice cream !!! HOwever, maybe bbecause its dairy or maybe it just doesnt mix well with the antibiotics but i woke up at 3am and vomited it all up. So refrain from eating anything thats not light for the first couple of days. 

ok so i put ice on my left arm and the swelling on my hand and forearm has subsided. MAKE SURE to ice your areas the first and second day. I am able to take the bandages off tomorrow. The pain is a little more than just a bad workout. Considering i work out everyday and have experienced alot of soreness in the past...I will update more later
