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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
