Smartlipo

Patient Description

A 52 year old woman from the New Orleans area visited the office complaining of excess fat and skin of her arms. Initially a full arm lift was recommended due to the amount of excess adipose and loose skin. The patient did not want the scar from an arm lift and only wanted Smartlipo in the office. Dr Mizgala told her, in advance, that she might only see minimal results and sagging skin would be likely. She underwent Smartlipo of bilateral arms with local tumescent anesthesia with minimal recovery and downtime. Both Dr Mizgala and the patient were impressed with the excellent improvement despite minimal invisible scars and minimal down time.

Smartlipo of arms was performed in Dr Mizgala's Metairie office under local anesthesia. Only small knick like incisions were used to insert the laser fiber after the arm was numbed with tumescent local anesthesia. Within a week, this woman's arms were dramatically slimmer with good skin tone and no extensive scars.
