I had smartlipo to my arms 2 weeks ago. I was very nervous. I am an RN, so I wasn't afraid of the medical side of it. I just had viewed some pictures of people that had problems, and was afraid that may happen to me. Well, it seems that I was nervous for nothing. I did fine.
I was awake and talking the whole time. I did get a little dizzy after standing up post procedure, and I did vomit on the way home, but I did not take one pain pill, Ibruprofen, or Tylenol. It was just a little sore. I had quite a bit of drainage the first night, but by the next day I did not require any further pressure dressing under my compression garment.
My arms are smaller, although they have a long way to go. I still have some swelling and I may need to have a touch up in several months. I respect the Dr. that did my procedure because he was conservative and did not want to take too much out at one time which might make my arms to skinny for my frame. I did not have one bruise afterward.
My reasoning for having this procedure was that I've always had larger arms, but I have lost 90 lbs and after exercising 5-6 days per week for 5-6 years I was unable to change the appearance of my arms. I have a great amount of muscle, but could not get rid of the fat covering the muscle.
I am already satisfied with the improvement, but am looking forward to improving over the next few months. I am now looking at having smart lipo to my anterior thigh, knees, and lateral thigh. I hope it goes as well as the first procedure.

Congrats, Very nice, what is the name of the doctor who did this wonderful job? I want my mom to get her arms done as well.

Hi I have the same problem. I went to 3 surgeons and they’re suggesting arm lift. But my shoulder looks the same as yours. I’m thinking of smart Lipo and not arm lift because I’m prone to keloid. I want to know who is your surgeon. Thanks

I was very pleased to hear how happy you have been about your arms after two weeks. And it was great seeing the pictures. Have you noticed that they have gotten better over the last couple of months? I am planning on getting my arms done too. Thanks

Did you use Dr. Sharlow in Festus. I am considering using him for smartlipo but i was wanting to speak with some of his patients first.

Are you still happy with the lipo almost 8 years later?
