So Much Pain and So Many Incisions/scar for Celebrity Arm Lipo

UPDATED FROM Treeyourself

8 months post arm lipo

$12,000
Good news: no more discoloration under armpit and only 1 keloid scar

Bad news: 8 out of 10 scars are very visible, and I don't know what I should do with the keloid scar on my left elbow area. I am still not able to wear any t shirts or short tops because of all the visible scars.

Conclusion : I have 4 laser treatment left for scar treatments, and the treatment does help with lessen the appearance of scars 35-40%. Overall, I don't recommend this surgery to anyone.

3 months post Celebrity Arm Lipo updates

3 months post surgery:

10 scar incisions improved about 12-15% after 2 ematrix and 1 V beam treatments. Most of the Scars are still red and very visible. Right armpit discoloration have improved 40%. One good news is no more cording! I will do another scar management post surgery post in 3 months.

Dr. Su kindly offered to help cover most of my scar laser treatment cost

Dr. Su's office contacted me the day after my Realself review to discuss my concerns about 10 scar incisions, discoloration and cording. After I provided pictures of how my current scars look like and right armpit discoloration, Dr. Su kindly offered to help me cover majority cost for scar laser treatment. I really appreciated his support and just hope my scars will become less visible in a year or two. I will update my scar laser treatment (done 1 out of 8 treatments) and upper arm lipo result in 2-3 months.
