Before/AfterI had arm liposuction from Director Kim Won-jun at Roble Avenue.
After going on a dress tour, I could only see my arms in the mirror rather than the dresses, so I thought I needed to get it done quickly before my wedding photoshoot, and I quickly scheduled a consultation and went to Roble Avenue. I had consultations at other clinics too, but while the consultation managers there only felt the area with their hands and explained things, at Roble the director personally checked how thick the fat layer was with ultrasound and explained it to me. I also liked that he answered the things I was curious about kindly and honestly, so I scheduled the surgery date right away and went ahead with the procedure.
When I woke up after surgery, it didn’t feel like my arms hurt a lot, it was more like a slightly stiff feeling? I had surgery on a Saturday, and on day 2 (Sunday), I was so sleepy that I just slept all day. Days 3 (Monday) to 5 (Wednesday) were the hardest. Only my left arm had severe swelling and bruising and hurt, so I went through it without even noticing any pain in my right arm~ The bruising was so severe only on my left arm that I got worried, so I took photos and sent them to the clinic, and they explained everything kindly, so I felt reassured~ I have my wedding photoshoot at the end of April, so I worked hard on stretching and drank pumpkin juice diligently, and I walked for 30 minutes during every lunch break. After that, the swelling gradually went down, so it became manageable. Even for an office job, if you are in a position where you can rest, I think resting until day 3 is the best. For me, the hardest time was when I went to work on day 3. The intensity of the pain felt like muscle soreness after doing a really intense upper-body workout after not exercising for a year?
For me, my right arm definitely had less swelling and bruising, and even right after surgery, when I looked in the mirror, it was much slimmer than I expected, so I was surprised and thought I was glad I did it. But my left arm had severe bruising, swelling, and pain, so I wondered, did I do this for nothing? I felt satisfaction and regret at the same time, like two selves at a Jekyll and Hyde level lololol Right around days 9 to 10, I thought, ah~ now this is manageable, and as the swelling in my left arm went down, there was still some bruising left, but the pain almost disappeared and my arms became really slim. I have a lot of back fat, so I did the bra line together too, and those who have back fat will know. The side view looks bulky, making the upper body look bigㅠㅠ I debated a lot over whether to do the bra line or not, but now I think I look in the mirror for about 10 minutes before showering! At work, I even showed my arms to a coworker and bragged, and as each day passes, my satisfaction keeps getting higher lololol
