No matter how much I dieted my upper arms never slimmed down, and my upper body fat made me look heavier than my actual weight, so it was a big source of stress. I considered Lams too, but after reading reviews saying it did not do much I decided on upper arm liposuction, checked the doctor's background, had a consultation and went straight into surgery. It is month 3 now. My upper arms used to be pure fat type, but now they are fairly slim hehe I did it without telling my boyfriend, and when he happened to touch my arm he was shocked at how thin it had gotten. The bruising was all gone within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, and the scars are still visible but I think they will disappear over time. I am already satisfied, but I hope the residual swelling goes down soon so they get even slimmer hehehe
