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

Treeyourself
$12,000
Dr. Su is great! I leave 3 stars not because the doctor is incompetent or the staff is not attentive. I want to warn every petite Asian women for the arm lip surgery. The scars left on both arms are super visible and our skin tone will show the incisions. I am almost 5 weeks post surgery and already developed keloid on 3 out of 10 incisions. (I never have this problem before!) The amount of scars/incisions are too much for me to handle. I should have just do the traditional arm lipo ( just one incision on the elbow area) and the scars will be so much easier for me to handle physically and emotionally. I have already started very first scar laser treatment after 34 days post surgery. The entire surgery is so painful ! It's real painful !!!! If you are sensitive to the pain and is worried about developing scars, please don't do this surgery. I wish I didn't do this surgery at the first place.

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.

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.
