Like many others, I had heard about the groundbreaking SmartLipo treatment and was considering getting some work done on my flabby upper arms. However, I was clueless as I didn’t know about any doctors who offered SmartLipo in my area – New York City. My friend told me about the SmartLipo™ Plastic Surgeon Directory and I decided to give it a try. I must say that I am grateful to the brilliant minds behind this directory for putting me in contact with Dr. Christopher T. Chia of Park Avenue Smart Lipo™.
Another thing, if I had any worries at all about the procedure, all of them were quelled because of the wealth of information that was available on the site and which helped me make up my mind. About the plastic surgeon - he seemed to work a kind of magic with his hands. He not only slimmed down my arms with SmartLipo but also gave them a smooth, beautiful shape.
