My dear beautiful ladies, IT IS TIME. Let this be the year you finally book your appointment with Dr. Yovino to get your arms sculpted! I got the precision arm sculpt/lipo procedure done in September 2023, and now 3 months later, I CANNOT be happier with Dr. Yovino's work and the Ideal Face & Body experience. None of my loved ones supported my decision to get this procedure at the time, they were vehemontly against it actually, so much so that I had to book my consultation in secret - now... they all compliment my arms and admit that I look amazing! Even my dad<3
Story time (I'm sure many can relate): I always had an average-athletic build all my life, but no matter how lean or fit I became (working out every day, down to 20% body fat in my early 20s!), the fat on my arms would not budge! Whenever I lost weight, my boobs would eagerly volunteer as tribute first & foremost (overachievers), and my stubborn arm fat would hunker right on down & hold the fort. There were rare occasions when I would feel proud and happy with my body (because believe me when I say I was a fitness feign when I was younger), but then I would see my arms in the mirror or in pictures and couldn't deny how they RUINED my silhouette - my arms made my petite & silhouette look farrr heavier-set than I was. I stopped wearing sleeveless anything at 14 years old because I was so self-conscious, insecure, and unhappy with my arms. To confirm, I had not worn or owned anything sleeveless for the last 15 years (14-29 years old).Now, 3 months post-op, in the dead of winter - I wear sleeveless whenever I can! I attended my company Christmas party in a sleeveless dress and GIRLLL - I COULD NOT have felt more confident in my body. I bought my first ever tube top last month and cannot feel more feminine and cute in it. My eyes SEEK OUT sleeveless outfits now, whereas before I would religiously look for long sleeve. I'm so happy I finally decided to get arm sculpting lipo after 12 years of wanting it. My biggest regret is not getting this done sooner! I would have LIVED so much more in my 20s!I had been researching "arm lipo" procedures since I was 17. I researched different clinics, doctors in different countries and at various price points and obtained a handful of quotes - and I'm telling you babe, Dr. Yovino is the obvious choice. I flew all the way from Europe to Los Angeles for Dr. Yovino!My alumni tips just for you: I highly recommend this procedure, and specifically with Dr. Yovino for a few reasons. 1) Dr. Yovino is mindful and delicate with the placement of the micro incisions (surprisingly not all doctors are mindful and delicate about the future scarring), my incisions are so small and well placed, they're unnoticeable.2) Dr. Yovino really listens to you & aims for a natural look - he listened to which specific parts of my arms I was concerned about and sculpted accordingly, but also made sure my arms are still proportionate to my body so they are much slimmer and sculpted, but I don't suddenly look like a T-Rex. 3) The team and staff at Ideal Face & Body are fabulous, friendly, and true professionals. I ADORE Ashleigh, she is so transparent, down to earth and honest - she really helped me with my decision by sharing her own stories - highly recommend you reach out to her if you have any questions. Their correspondence is concise, timely, and honestly a treat to get in your inbox.*Pro-tip 4) GET THE BRA BULGE DONE TOO, if you can afford it - trust me. I didn't get the bra bulge done because it was out of my budget, and honestly my bra bulge isn't even that much or bad, Dr. Yovino agreed. But if I could do it again - I would take out a loan just to get my bra bulge done too because I think it would have been that final polish to my new lean, long look. Random: I'm not a doctor so I can't say this is truly what is happening here, but - I swear my boobs have gotten a wee bit bigger, or at the very least, they look a lot bigger compared to my now slender arms. I imagine that if I also had my bra bulge lipo-ed as well, my boobs would look even better (hehe), or the extra calories that would have been stored in my arms are now being taken in by the twins. During the time I was contemplating getting the procedure, my boyfriend was supportive of whatever I decision I made, but generally advised against the procedure because he didn't think I needed it and loves me for who I am and thinks I'm beautiful just the way... rah rah rah. Now... he seems to be just that much more attracted to me. I notice the way his eyes linger when I wear my sleeveless tops or dresses, hehe. I didn't do this for him, or anyone, I got this procedure for me. And if you want this procedure too, babe I support you! DO IT! YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL AMAZING!Recovery: easy, not bad at all, just feels like your arms are sore from a workout - I was honestly already doing chores the day after my procedure (which I shouldn't have done because it made my arms swell a bit, but I'm sharing this with you so you know that this isn't a "major surgery" to be scared of and recovery isn't painful). Hope this helps, and once again - let this be your sign to go for it!- A very happy anonymous almost 30 year old woman
