Smart Lipo For Arm Flab Over Surgery??



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had any experience with Smart Lipo? I still have about 30 pounds to go, but my arms are making me crazy. It seems that lipo may be easier then the other arm plastic surgery.

I would appreciate any feedback anyone has.

Thank you

I have the same exact problem! And I even have stretch marks on the back of my arms! I don't know that the Lipo would tighten up the under arm flab...I am just lifting weights and doing different exercises to tighten it up...we will see. If the weights and exercise doesn't work I may have to do the plastic surgery.

Lipo just sucks the fat out, but doesn't do anything with the loose skin.

I've heard different takes on the smart, I would make sure to really do research on the doctor.There is a new procedure called Cool LaserLipo, better at tightening than smart Lipo. The cool technology tightens up the skin while the laser liquifies the fat for the body to dispose of. It keeps tightening for 6-12 months after so I don't have to wait unitl I am at my goal to have it done. Not to mention there's no hip to hip scar and pain associated with a Tummy Tuck. I am having this done tomorrow on my tummy and arm pits (yes, my armpits have excess skin) I have been impressed with all the before and after pics, the staff, dr and the patients I've talked to. If I am happy with the results, I will have my back fat done. I'll let you know how it goes!

Thank you for the information. It seems there is constantley new procedure coming out. Please keep post your updates.

BTW, i went to buy a new bra and discovered that the area I need to shave under my pits has gotten longer I didn't think your pits could sag also! I had to chuckle before I grumbled over it.

Thanks a lot and good luck with your procedure.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
