WORTH IT$2,500
So I've surpassed a month and very happy with the results. I do not have slender super-toned small arms (because i still have a lot of working out that i meed to do!) but the size fits me and the shape is so much better. I do not wear the compression garments anymore and I still have numbness, but no pain or bruising- the scars from the incision sites will take some time but if I don't point it out, I doubt no one will notice.
They say you see 80% of your results after the 1st month so while I am not sure the swelling is 100% gone (big numb area-hard to tell), it was a great investment for me.

Do you have any lumps? Do you know if this Dr is good at arm lipo revision?

I can only speak for myself but I don't have any issues. I honestly don't remember the smaller details of how my arms looked before so to me there is nothing unnatural. In hindsight (well I think I said this after) I don't think I had THAT much removed so my arms still have a decent amount of flab but with weight lifting I am developing more shape than the pillow I had before. Being that I can't remember my arms before (aside from the pics), I'm sure my perception has changed when I say "decent amount of flab". At any rate, I don't have anything that I would consider lumps- that is the skill of the doctor so I would say he did a good job for me. No harm in consulting with them if you are interested.

Thank you so much. I need a revision. :( I will contact his office. Thanks again.

Hi there, your results are amazing. Can you post new pictures. I know it's being a while since your surgery but I'm really considering Dr Poole after reading your review. Thanks

I don't have a good mirror right now but I don't think anything has changed for the better or worse to be honest. Also not sure if it's a fair comparison after this amount of time because I fluctuate so much with my eating/working out which I, in my mind at least, feel like I look better when I've been working out. I'm still kinda flabby (thanks Mom) but I didn't get it all removed initially so I'm just more aligned. When you go, they will do this assessment that measures your body fat in each area of your body and my arms were disproportionately so compared to the rest of me. That report was really interesting. I don't even think about this anymore, I must have been huge because I feel like my arms are still big but I don't hesitant to go sleeveless anymore! (Well thanks for reminding me of this-now I feel I need to get back on my workouts!)

So today marks 2 weeks and I'm getting excited. The bruising is nearly gone except a few spots (I just look like I have uneven skin tone), the incision spots are fading and I can even feel the swelling going down. I still have a very sore, numb, tightness on the upper part of the treated area, near my underarm but I can tell other spots are healing (fortunately I haven't been itching!).
I stopped wearing the compression garnment during the day and only in the eveing and at night now. Mine is XL and I think I really think a large would be more effective- the support is comforting but I can tell I'm not going to be one of those who wear it for months. I do think I will look for something to workout in, I started doing cardio and like the support because I still have some jiggle and thats a tad uncomfortable. As you can imagine I'm looking forward to getting back in the gym as now I have a chance to see some some results from my work instead of my muscles being covered in fat.
I can tell my arms are smaller than my last update, but they are not SMALL. I think it looks natural, small enough that I won't have to do those "big arm" poses all the time but not too much that my skin would appear loose. So far positive. Looking forward to more progress.

Your arms look amazing. I'm lol @the fact that you said you won't have to do the big Arm poses anymore. I feel the same way. people don't get the self consciousness if they have small arms. having big arms make you look bigger as a woman. I'm only 3 days post op from my smart lipo of the arms and I'm very impressed so far

One week today. Taking my first compression garnment break today to wash and trying out a spanks-like thingie that I bought online that is at least short-sleeved. I can see improvement in the bruising and went all day without any Tylenol. But I am also more swollen and itchy than before. But overall, all good. Expecting positive results, just anxious for the swelling to subside so I can see it.
Hey there, thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. You're look good in your 4 weeks post-op pics. How are you doing now that its been a couple of months? Please keep us updated on your progress!
