How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Crepey skin issue does not get resolved with this procedure.
Just so I don't mislead anyone I thought I would update.
You don't see the final results till about the 4th month.
My arms are much smaller in size but the crepey skin remains about the same.
I did have a revision done but the crepey arm skin was visible at about the 4th month.
It's my opinion that if this procedure could be done without the lipo the results might be much better.
Lipo is the worst trauma to the skin. Especially thinner skin areas like inner thighs and arms.

35 Days Post-Op
I finally made it! Today I saw the surgeon.
The small yellow spot that I was worried about, is nothing to be concerned about. That small spot is healing slower. What a relief! Overall, he was very happy with the incision and the appearance of my arms.
I now can start with a silicone cream.
Although he told me I don't have to wear the compression sleeves any longer, I am going to try to wear them to the 3rd month.
He also told me that I can use my arms as I would normally, just no sudden reaching.
I am still restricted when I try to reach the top of my hair.
I am not allowed to lift weights till after the 2nd month. Oh well. I can do cardio for now.
Still thrilled that I found the courage to have this done!

31 Day Post Op
So here I am. 31 Days after surgery.
My arms feel good. I have more movement. I can now brush my hair without pain or pulling. I still don't raise my arms past my shoulders.
My cold is getting better so I hope to see the surgeon in a few days.
Still wear the garment all the time and change the dressing every day.
I am guessing that I will get the ok this week to stop with the gauze and go to silicone cream.
As you can see from the pictures, my left arm has a small spot that might be incision widening or separating. Not sure. It looks a lot worse in the picture.
Sorry, I don't have very good pictures to show. My husband is not much of a cameraman. :)
I am still very happy with how my arms look.
They are much smaller and I don't see the crepey skin.
There is a little pulling of the skin. In the picture, it looks like wrinkles. It's because the skin was pulled. I think in time that will improve.
I look forward to your opinions.
