Lower expectations can be a blessing.

I look at so many pictures posted by you beautiful ladies and I think you all look great before surgery and your results after surgery are truly amazing. When I started this journey, I had arms that had always been unattractive. Arms that were very large with lots of hanging fat underneath. In my entire adult life, I've never worn anything sleeveless and on the few occasions that I wore short sleeves, I was very self-conscious. Going into this, my expectations were pretty low. I was not seeking perfection, just the opportunity to wear short sleeves. I truly believe that I am lucky because of my lower expectations. I don't look for lumps, bumps, discoloration or uneven results. I just see improvement and I am truly ecstatic about my results so far. I saw my doctor this week and he said that he will probably want to do some touch ups after 6 months in order to remove a little more fat and create some more tightening, but he is very pleased with my results so far.
For everyone who is reading this and thinking of having Smart Lipo in the future. ..do it!

Hi Bella! I saw my doctor this week and he is very pleased with my progress. I am amazed that he was able to make this kind of difference without major surgery. Thank you for your kind words.

I am very SURPRISED and HAPPY for you. Arm lift reviews are NOT that successful and very difficult surgery as well as the healing process. I have only com across maybe 5 or a handful of GREAT successful reviews. your arms look so thin,it looks like you had an arm lift,no lie. Your skin retracted and tightened up great! And to think you were worried,it turned out Wonderful. thank GOD.
Happy Saturday!

WOW! That is seriously dramatic!
August 16, 2014
Yeah, I'm so happy for you! Makes me even more excited to see the full result!!! Waiting is hard :D.

Thank you. Waiting is hard. I'm still struggling with swelling, but it is a small price to pay to have arms that have improved so much.

Even though my doctor said I should wear my CG for 2 months 24/7, then 2 additional months for 12 hours each day, I removed it yesterday morning. My swelling went down significantly as did my weight. I definitely want the best results possible, but I don't think that amount of swelling was normal or a good thing. I'll still wear my CG for a few hours each day, but not 24/7. I know I should do as directed by my doctor, but I also have to pay attention to my body. Please let me know if you think I'm doing the wrong thing. I will try to get some pictures to post this weekend.

I know each PS is different but I removed mine at 2 months and wore it at work only, i had my revision and am back in it 24/7 again but i recommend you read on the Q&A section you will find several people have asked that question and you can read certified PS replies! Mine has always told me your body knows and when i moved to a smaller CG too soon i had swelling so i went back to the larger one and i have better luck with not having such a tight CG
August 8, 2014
Don't worry. Everything will heal properly. I was WORRIED when i NEVER got a cg and thought what the heck,everyone on here as a cg but me. But my arms healed GREAT!!!!!!!!! You know your body best and have worn it to the best of your ability. Do what you feel works for you. I was told by my doctor sometimes they are too tight and cut off circulation and can do more harm than good and sometimes they are too loose. Again,i think you will be ok. Doctor's all have different protocol's and opinions.
TGIF!!!!! SMILE you're no longer the MICHELE MAN. ;)

Thanks so much for detailing your pre-op and post-op period so far. I think I would have been swearing if my weight went UP 12 lbs. I am praying things will improve vastly and soon. Hopefully you will keep posting as you improve.
August 8, 2014
Yeah, what if it was too tight? I still think it might be good to discuss your fears with your doctor, though, especially since it seems you are having good results from not wearing it. It may help him in the future.
