Arm Lift and Liposuction with Dr. Nick Slenkovich

Today marks the three month post-op date for me! I’m definitely ready for the scars to start fading from a red/purple to white, but that will take time...grateful we’re heading in to winter so I can cover up for a bit. Overall, I’m feeling exceptional. It turns out I did NOT have an infection but a festering suture. I had this surgically removed, in-office 2.5 weeks ago, and the pain is GONE! My sutures started releasing on the left, finally, too, so everything is looking really good. I’m thrilled with my lipo results and am seriously excited for summer next year to flaunt this new bod! My confidence is through the roof! The wrinkles on my arms are from my scar strips, FYI.

I realized I’ve been focusing heavily on my arm lift results, and, while they’re amazing, I also had lipo of my abdomen, mons, and thighs. Here’s a before and current shot of my abdomen at two months! I’m so stoked!! I had NO fat transfer to my rear, but my results make my waist look so tiny, and the curve of my low back is now more pronounced, giving the illusion of a curvier butt. I’m LOVING it!!

Hey all! Weeks six to eight were a little strange. I ended up with a small, treatable infection on my left side, and most of my healing seemed to stall a bit. After a week of cephalexin, I can easily tell you that I am fine, and it was no big deal, albeit painful. I had a red, painful spot near my left elbow that got worse over two days, two weeks ago, so I called the doc. After my first dose of meds, no more pain. Modern medicine is amazing, and I’m glad I acted quickly! My incisions and scars continue to heal beautifully, and I’ve been using silicone scar strips for two weeks. I am beyond thrilled with the overall shape and artistry with both arms and have absolutely zero regrets. I’m more puckered still on my left side, and my right side has been healing at a rapid-fire pace. All will smooth and even out in time, and the left is slowly catching up to the right.
