5 months post update

Sorry for taking so long to post pics. I wanted someone else to take them but I just did it myself. As you can see in the axillary fat before and after pics ( I put on a sports bra because it pops it out the most), there is barely a difference. I would say I can see they look slightly deflated but that's it. As for my arms I am happy with the results. The main difference between my one week post and now, is that my skin felt extremely loose in the beginning and it has gone back to normal. I do wish my skin was tighter but at this point I'm satisfied with what I'm working with. I also have not been in the gym lately so as I'm about to start working out again, maybe I will post pics a few months down the road when my arms have some more muscle. I think as long as you are realistic about your results, getting the upper arms done is worth it. I can say that I have a few tops and dresses that were very tight in my upper arm area and they fit better now. Now if only they can invent a chamber I can step into that will tighten my skin all over my body, I would be the first in line!

I didn't know if I could see much of a difference until I took a new pic and put them side by side for comparison. I think it looks more dramatic in pics but I really tried to line up each picture size wise so it's a fair comparison. Also just to be clear, I ended up getting power assisted lipo, not smart lipo. My doctor never used the laser. I'll get into that in another review.

Real self won't let me add in the location so just so you know he's Dr vishal Mehta in New Brunswick, NJ. He's a bariatric surgeon, NOT a plastic surgeon. I noticed he's advertising a lot on the Internet for "awake tummy tuck" now. Please don't go to this guy. He is not up front. He seemed really nice at my consultation although it was very brief. I came in for "laser lipo" and paid MORE for it as well. The day of the procedure after I was already drugged up on Ativan etc, as he was marking me up, I asked him a question about the laser. He told me he didn't think I needed it and could cause more problems with the thin skin on the under side of the arm, such as seromas and unevenness. I honestly think he screwed up a patient right before me or something, he seemed very on edge compared to the initial consult. I wouldn't mind this opinion, but I don't understand why he didn't tell me this during my consultation, before I paid for the procedure. This I felt was very unprofessional and strange. For this reason I would NOT go back to him or recommend him. However, at the two week mark I think I look good and am pleased with my results.
