Before before after after after after after after<Lower abdominal muscles are starting to show little by little>After<Even when taken at an angle, there’s no lower-belly shadowㅠㅠ>My lower belly and love handles wouldn’t go away even with exercise, and even my upper abdomen seemed to have turned into cellulite now, because no matter what I did, it wouldn’t go away.. Fat-dissolving injections had no effect even when I tried them, and liposuction felt a bit scary, but I heard extraction injections don’t require sleep anesthesia, so I worked up the courage and tried it, and I’m satisfied, satisfied, super satisfied. I was taking photos and comparing them by myself, but my photo album got insanely chaotic, so I’m writing this to organize things and share info.
Can you see the shadow below my navel in the pre-procedure photo in the main pictureㅠㅠ? It looked split like a pregnancy line and cast a shadow, which stressed me out so much..
After the procedure, I had 2 mental shocks. First, on day 2 I looked slim, but on day 4 I swelled up..? I spent money and went through all that, so why was it getting bigger again.. I wondered if it was a side effect and got mentally anxious, but apparently right after extraction you look slim, and swelling builds up during recovery. Thankfully, by one week, the swelling started going down, and my upper abdomen slimmed down first, so my ribs started showing!! From then on, high-waisted bottoms that hadn’t fit started fitting, and when I sat down, my upper abdomen no longer stuck out, so I was so happy, but as my period approached, I got hit with a second round of anxietyㅋ If you look at the day 10 photo, my belly got chubby again;; both upper and lower;;
But over the weekend I went to a wedding and drank a ton, and honestly, I didn’t diet either. They told me to walk to help the swelling go down, but I was just too lazy, so I bought anti-swelling medicine, took it, and didn’t walk..ㅋㅋ Because I knew what I’d done, I wondered if my poor aftercare had made everything go back to square one, and I was insanely stressed, but thankfully, once my period started and was almost over, the swelling went down againㅠ
I also got aftercare: some shockwave thing that went ta-ta-ta, and mesotherapy fat-dissolving injections, for a total of two sessions. After that, my lower belly, which had stubbornly refused to go down, started shrinking! No, every time I went to the clinic, they measured my lower belly with a tape measure, and my lower belly stayed exactly the same for 2 whole weeks, so I almost lost it again, you know? The clinic staff kept reassuring me that it was normal for it not to go down yetㅠ They kept soothing me, so I calmed down...ㅠㅠㅠ But seriously, after 2 weeks + the weekend + 2 aftercare sessions, my lower belly and love handles dropped noticeably, so it was really amazing!!
My waist is short, so even if I gain just a little weight, fat gathers right on my abdomen, and even when the rest of me was thin, my belly always stayed puffy. But now I can see my hip bones, which I couldn’t even see in my 20s, so I’m insanely excited!! These days I’m living for taking photos and admiring my pelvisㅋㅋㅋ
I am exercising too, but the clinic told me not to overdo it, so I can’t do much. Strangely, my weight is only about 2 kg different!! The doctor said I removed more than average and was surprised during the procedureㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They were like, “More came out than expected~~” ㅋㅋㅋ If you’re curious about my lifestyle pattern, like exercise and diet, I’ll share it in the comments.
Anyway! For people like me who have thin arms and legs but a chubby belly, I totally recommend it!!!!
