WORTH IT
Hi everybody. Its been a while since I updated. I been doing good. I been on a weight roller coaster. I gained about ten lbs since I had my first surgery. (Traditional butt lift). But I've managed to lose 8 lbs which brings me to two pounds over my post op weight. I'm going to have inner n outer thigh lipo in December. Also a lil more lipo to my midsection and a lil bit of fat transfer to my butt to cover up some dimples. My arms are the same. They look OK from the back but since no fat was removed in the front, they look a lil chunky there. I will probably post updates on my other review since this was my arm review.

Pics of incision site
Well here's a couple pics of the incision site. Once my arms go down, you can't see them. They don't really bother me at all. They are still kinda dark and red. I put on mederma scar cream when I can, but not as much as I should.

Thankyou for the awesome blog and pics on your arm lipo..... I'm dealing with the same issue now!!!! I think you look great. I don't see much sagging!!! I would trade in a heart beat, hopefully I have good results as you..... thanku again!
You're welcome! And thank you. Good luck on your surgery :)
Hey girly, ur arms look really good! U can barley even see ur stretch marks and ur arms don't look loose at all....looking good!
Thank u. In pictures its hard to tell, but there's a bulge of fat under the arm pit. Well I'm glad it didn't come out all lumpy n super saggy.
That's good to know cuz I'm eventually gonna get them done and I don't want them to sag. ....like I said they look good!
Blimey Cubi, thry are barely noticeable.... Great result.
Thank you
Your arms look amazing! We have a very similar body and my arms are my trouble area as well. Good for you for going through with getting it done. I have just started really looking to get it done but it is so hard to find information on arm lipo. Did you do laser? I want to do it ASAP but not sure if that is a bad move with summer right around the corner. Also, I am so confused on what the cost should be! If you could give me any insight I would appreciate it soo much. I would private message you but I don't even know if that's possible on here... lol. Congrats chica!
Hi! Thank you. Yes we can private message on here. I don't mind talking about it on comments. No I didn't have any laser on them. I do have saggy skin but not a lot. Its like by my arm pit. I was told a laser may help tighten them up. But I had just regular tumenecent lipo on them. I wish he would have done the whole arm not just the back. For me it was worth it Cuz they were pretty big. Its cheaper out of country , here in the states it ranges from $4-6000. U will have to wear a long sleeved arm garment for a couple months so that's the downfall having it done in summer. Any other questions , feel free to ask. :)
Oh my gosh you're so sweet and helpful, thank you :) I wanted to get it done before the summer began but I can't wear long sleeves here in the city...way too hot. Maybe I'll wait, especially since I have to go to a ton of consultations. I'm so nervous about it all lol. I was talking about laser lipo when I asked about laser, laser lipo tightens? I thought tumenescent would leave scars, I don't see any scars on you. Thanks for all the info, it is so helpful you have no idea. :)
I heard about laser lipo but heard sometimes it causes burns, so I just stuck with regular lipo. I do have two small scars behind my arms. But u can't really see them :) the laser that tightens saggy skin is not lipo related. Its just a regular laser you get after liposuction. I totally forgot the name of it tho. Don't be nervous, you'll feel like a million bucks once u see the fat gone lol

Sorry haven't been on here much. Been crazy busy lately. Well my arms are okay. They're not what I was expecting but much better than they once were. I have some extra skin that never firmed up. They look good from the back, but Dr Campos didn't take out fat from the front of the arm so its a lil chunky there. Dr Campos said I need a full brachioplasty to get rif of extra skin but that would suck to have that big scar. I looked into a mini arm lift where they make a crescent shaped incision but one Dr said I wouldn't get great results with that. He suggested some laser, I forgot the name, that tightens skin....I been doing a little boxing, but don't see any change yet. My body sucks at toning and losing weight! :( the extra skin near my armpit along with a fat bulge there really bugs me

Thats the problem...the Drs never really explain that you should have the lipo all the way around. i.e. I had my thighs done and he did the inside but they realky needed the front, outside and back done but they charge "per area" and each bit is classed as an "area" so for a thigh you would be paying for 4 lots of lipo! I guess its the same for your arms. I have to say your arms do look heaps better. Just try some lite weights. Dont go too mad or it may effect the op....
Good luck with it. Wish I could win the lottery and I would go beserk with a make over.
Very true! I think that's kinda dumb but its how they make money. And yea if I won the lottery that's the first thing I'd do! Lol
