What sorts of exercises can I do to improve the results of my smart lipo?

Question

I am aproximately a month and a half post smart lipo on the arms, bra fat back and stomach. I feel great and go to the gym 4 times a week. What types of exercises can I do to improve the look of my arms and stomach? My arms are atill a little big and lumpy, and if I do a bunch of crunches and cardio every day will it improve my results that much more? Need advice on exercising please and will it help the overall look?

Sculpting fat off your trouble spots will enhance muscle definition. Increasing your muscle tone with weight training will definitely improve your results. Weight loss will also boost your results.

I would get a personal trainer and nutritionist to get the best results.  Also consider ultrasound or radiofrequency treatments (velashape) to help soften the skin/fat.  If you are concerned, speak to your physician.  Best, Dr. Emer.

You seem to be doing everything you can do following the SmartLipo procedure, and that is great. We encourage diet and exercise post procedure to help with toning and making sure we are doing the healthy lifestyle changes that are important.To help things along, many of us will recommend a radiofrequency (RF) series of treatments to tighten the skin more. A variety of devices work well here — VelaShapeIII, Venus Legacy, Alma Accent or VShape, EndyMed 3Deep, Pelleve, or Exilis — and others. Your physician can recommend which device is best for you. A series of these treatments is routine in my office, and becoming more common in offices all over.
