Maybe Made A Mistake
WORTH IT$1,900
Hey guys, so it's now 2020 and it's been a few years since my arm lipo. As time has gone on, the skin where I had the lipo isn't popping back... it's a little droopy/saggy bunched. Although I'm happy my arms aren't as big as they used to be, they are still embarrassing and large and now they're just big with droopy skin.
I think I was really excited after my lipo and overly optimistic, the reality of it is-- I went with the absolute cheapest Doctor I could find, and that was probably my biggest mistake. With that being said, it wasn't his fault I had massive arms, and I did get lipo for cheap... but you get what you pay for and I'm probably going to be looking into a mini arm lift now to remove the 'bunched' up extra skin.

Skin Sagging
Just wanted to give an update on my arms. I was really excited after my lipo and it truly inspired me to go on a weightloss journey... but I have to say-- the skin where I had my lipo is not quite right. I can hold my arms a certain way and there is hanging skin, like it doesn't look like fat or flab, it's just wrinkly skin. I'm not sure if I'd recommend this particular clinic or procedure.

Hey, any chance you could post pics? Are you still happier overall?

Hey, I posted an update for you! To be short and sweet-- my arms are smaller, but my skin looked saggy now, and I think this is all because I went to the cheapest Doctor I could possibly find.

Comparisons
1 year post-op comparison pictures... amazing! I can even see my confidence in the after pics! Keep in mind, I lost THIRTY FOUR pounds over the year, so my confidence & slimming is from my arm lipo, tummy tuck, AND weight loss.

I've been going back and forth about going for it. I know if you saw me you would think I'm crazy but I feel my arms are unproportional to me. I always wear a jacket or long sleeve even if it's so hot outside. I'm actually 5'3 and 115lbs and have been for a long time, but people always ask me how is it possible my arms are big for my frame. I guess that's just wear my fat accumulates there. I had been hesitant to go for it bc I thought maybe it will just look good for a few months and then a year later it will look bad. But your results look amazing!!! Thank you again!

Hi, Thank You for posting your story and the year later update. Your story really helped convince me to get my arms done (last Oct.). They're not the arms of a young, toned 20-something but the wiggling flab is pretty much gone---I'd wave and my arms would flap. So, again, THANK YOU for sharing and, enjoy the upcoming summer.

Oh I'm so happy I helped inspire your journey! My arms aren't toned & fit, but they aren't a fat wobbly waving mess... I LOVE them! Congrats:)

You look amazing! Congrats on your weight loss. Was the lipo on the arms so reasonable because you did the other procedures with the same doctor? Was the arm surgery done all by itself? Assuming you were awake for it. How long did it take?

Oops, I see you detailed the length above, so let me read that first....!

You have great results! I'm getting my arms done next after I pay down some of my debt.

Thank you so much for posting your experience and Im so happy for you! Your arms look amazing and after reading so many horrible reviews, Im happy to have found yours. I'm still wary bc I think you might be an exception, but your results give me hope. Congrats again!
