Hmmmm....not much improvement with the Smart Lipo on the upper arm sag......killer results for traditional lipo on inner and back of thighs....overall 7% fat loss, though....oddly....no weight changes...still may have 3-6 more months of fluid retention (expected that as it was a year post TT surgery).

For the price and recovery time, Id say I'm 80% overall satisfied.

I saw my surgeon's partner. Dr. Nigro is no longer practicing and may not come back. He's a great surgeon....during my mammogram, the tech commented on the wonderful job he did and said that Dr. Nigro's patients are the best she has seen.

Wasn't Dr. Nigro on the news a while back? Is that why he's no longer practicing?

Glad you are happy with your results!

Hi Marie,

Thanks for the update... I wondered how you were doing and I'm glad to know how you feel about the smart lipo.

I had my T/T at the end of February and although 10lbs of skin was removed I really haven't lost any weight - I think it's fluid retention and I'll be waiting for awhile for it to all dissipate. I'm going for the rest of my body lift (circumferential and thigh lift) at the end of September and I was wondering about lipo during the thigh lift or smart lipo and also wondering about smart lipo for the arms... this definitely gives me an idea of what I want to do.

Hugs,
Kimberly
