6 Months Post Op / Lipo/ Bodytite/ Mini Arm Lift

ORIGINAL POST

6 Months Post Op / Lipo/ Bodytite/ Mini Arm Lift

Not worth it. Feeling discouraged. Spent more money than I had to improve my arms. I also did a lot of post procedures including endermologie, Radio frequency skin tightening, and every cream the doctor recommended. To me my arms look worse with dimpling and not any smaller. Help! Will this improve in time or did I just waste my money and have scars for no reason now?

I'm so sorry that you are not happy. Are you wearing a post op garment? I've gone to 3 doctors, because I hate my arms. They tell me, to achieve what I want. It has to be a vertical inscision.
I had an extended arm lift and I absolutely love the results. I had lipo a few years ago and it was a waste of money. The scar doesn't bother me. I seriously cannot stop looking at my arms. They are so different and firm. Had surgery in the middle of December and my scars already look so good. Seriously, don't let the scar hold you back. You will not be disappointed. Just make sure you go to the right surgeon. Look at before and afters. There is nothing in my closet that doesn't fit me now. I'm also stocking up on short sleeves and sleeveless tops. I've not shown my arms in public since I was a teen. Just go for it.
I wore the post op garment for over three months. I sometimes wonder if I should continue to wear it at night? My doctor said I was a good candidate for the mini-brachioplasty, I'm not sure I was though? Thanks for commenting.
Sorry you're going through this. I know how you feel. I had arm lipo and it was a total waste. I feel like I was taken advantage of. Doctor should have just not done it. I've fixed it with a full arm lift just recently and am so happy. Hope you get the outcome you're looking for.
Thanks Simone, Glad you are happy now with the full lift. I pray my arms look better by summer which will be a year out. Thanks for your support.
SAAAAMMMEEEEEE!!!! I'm three months out and my arms are no smaller than they were before. I've been so upset and have yet to see my plastic surgeon since, you see the nurse every month but only see the doctor at your 6 month check up. Well I decided to email him with how disgusted and unsatisfied I am and surprisingly he offered to do a revision surgery free of charge, I'll have the longer scar, but I was never worried about the scar. They were sooo adamant about the crescent arm lift and that it would "give me my desired look" and they were so wrong. It just pisses me off that I have to do another surgery and take more time off work.but at least they're righting their wrongs.
I'm SO SORRY you have to deal with this. Sadly, I cannot see any difference from the before and after pictures you posted. What does the doctor say?
Thank You, it is a huge disappointment. The doctor thinks it's all great.?. I don't think they would say otherwise...
That's "gaslighting" someone. I mean telling you that your arms are fine when it's obvious there is not much of a difference. That makes a person feel crazy. I'm just so sorry. I had my arms done 5 days ago. If I didn't see any changes and had to go through this much pain I'd be DEVASTATED. Gosh, I hope something good will come out of all this.
I was talked in to having the mini arm lift and it did absolutely nothing....I now have to have the extended arm lift...
