After after after / before before before I'm writing a day-1 review after full upper-body liposuction First, the surgical areas were: upper arms, accessory breasts, armpits, scapular area, bra line, upper and lower abdomen, flanks, love handles, back flanks Basically, I had my whole upper body done lol I live overseas, and I have a pretty important shoot in January, but my weight had gone over like 63 kg (just a few years ago I was in the low 50s..) But dieting felt kind of overwhelming, and my upper arms had always been bad even before, and as I got older, once I gained weight on my abdomen it really would not come off, so I decided to get it done first. I also booked thighs for 10 days after the upper body My personality is totally T, and how should I put it, I don't really believe marketing and stuff like that, so honestly I had zero expectations for skinny arms or anything like that (during the consultation, the manager asked why my expectations were so low lol) I just thought it would definitely be better than now, and if the lines got cleaned up, I would personally lose more through dieting, that was exactly my mindset Anyway, so as soon as I came to Korea, the place I booked a consultation at right away was ㅌㄹㅇ. I didn't go around to other places. I thought if I went there and it seemed okay, I would book, and if not, I would book somewhere else, but I just thought it was fine and went for it right away I had to leave overseas again soon, and time was more important than money, so I thought a bigger hospital would be safer than a small clinic if possible, and while looking for a place with an anesthesiology specialist, this place came up, so I booked it Oh right, and I'm not the type to search endlessly about plastic surgery and put tons of effort into online and in-person research, so people around me asked if I was really getting it done after consulting at just one place, but like I said earlier, my before was so... bad, and I just looked mainly for safety and taking out a lot, and of course I figured the chief director would be the best, so I had it done by the chief director
Anyway! The surgery was scheduled for 10, but after taking photos, doing the design, consulting with the director, and so on, I think I went in around 10:40? I heard the surgery took about 4 hours, and they said 9400 cc was removed. Usually 5000 or 6000 is already a really large volume, isn't it? Is it because my upper body is on the longer side and I carry a lot of weight there? Honestly, whether 5000 cc came out or 9000 cc came out, I don't really understand the numbers, but when I looked with my own eyes, my arms had disappeared. That was so fascinating. Seriously so fascinating lolololol But after surgery, I rested in the recovery room, and before discharge I talked with the chief director. Before surgery he had been really quiet, but after surgery I could genuinely feel that he was proud and saying it went really well, so I felt a bit relieved too lol like, okay, it went well On the day of surgery, even when I asked, "I'm totally skinny-armed now, right?" I honestly was out of it and couldn't really tell Today I came to my senses and looked at my arms, and all I could do was admire them lol It's seriously fascinating. I just thought money is good and modern medicine really is good lololol I understand why they said skinny arms. Since I'm wearing the compression garment, my lower arms? From the wrists upward, that area swelled up a bit, like Anpanman, so maybe because of that, they became about the same thickness as my upper arms. It was so funny Director Byun Sang-guk, thank you so, so much lol Honestly, after seeing reviews I thought it must be marketing and didn't have high expectations, but nope, it wasn't. Sorry for doubting lol Oh, and right before surgery there was also something that made me go oh, when I went to get the design from the director, there was something like a glass barrier so there was no contact, and I went up wearing a mask and plastic gloves, and I could feel that they were really careful about infection and things like that
Anyway, the pain on the first day hurts. It really just hurts. I searched reviews because this pain hurt so much. And a YouTuber named Jodupal said it was the most painful surgery she had ever had lol Somehow I related But honestly, what made me feel like the real start was after the surgery ended was that enduring this pain, taking the compression garment off and putting it on, disinfecting, all of that is seriously lol so painful!! The surgery itself is honestly over once you close and open your eyes Still, when I look in the mirror I'm happy, and it feels like I've gotten rid of one of my complexes, so I am happy
Oh, I'll talk a little about the people at this hospital. Since it's a review, I thought it would be good to write my gratitude I consulted with Manager Park Ji-song. I heard that some hospitals kind of ignore you after surgery, and it's hard to even see the manager, things like that? But first of all, even after surgery, she replied really quickly, explained things one by one, and on the day of surgery she helped ease my nerves, so I was really grateful. It was my first liposuction, so of course there was a lot I didn't know and it was scary, you know. But she took good care of those things, and her personality is kind of easygoing, so she matched well with me lol And after surgery, the nurses in the recovery room too, I was so thirsty that I drank water about 10 times, and they were just so~~ kind. Because I live overseas, how should I put it, the nurses where I live aren't very kind lolol Anyway, so even though it's their job, I was really grateful That's about it for the first-day review? Honestly, right after surgery I was all happy saying it didn't hurt at all, but yeah right lololol Once the anesthesia wore off and day 1 came, it seriously hurt like crazy. I also have some pretty large bruises, like blood bruises, but time will be the medicine, right And I'm already satisfied just that my arms, my many back rolls, and belly fat have disappeared. End of day-1 review! For size, I roughly measured the thickest area with a tape measure, and my upper arm was 40.5 on the right and 39.5 on the left Now the swelling is severe, and I only measured the right side because it hurt ㅠㅠ It came out 35.8. Amazing lol I'll write another review after the swelling goes down. Then byee!
