First, organizing the timeline Arrived at the clinic (9:00) -> consultation and design -> entered the operating room, had the IV placed, got prepared for surgery, etc. (I expect the surgery started close to 10:00) -> moved to the recovery room (it was really only about 30 steps, so I moved with assistance, probably around 11:30) -> the doctor came in and explained what type of implant was inserted and how, and how the fat was injected -> nurses came in from time to time to check my condition -> checked my condition while walking, then discharged (around 2:20) They said I was recovering really fast...
As someone who had transaxillary incision for the first surgery and inframammary fold incision this time, inframammary fold incision is truly movingly less painful. My upper body is free... With transaxillary incision, even lowering my head and buttoning buttons were hard....
After the surgery ended, I was out of it in the recovery room with my eyes closed until I came to a bit, and when the nurse came in and I asked the time, she said it was 11:50. I’m assuming I went into surgery close to 10:00, so I think the surgery took about 1 hour 40 minutes. I also had liposuction and everything, so for that surgery time, it went well! But in the end, I did get a drain bag, so I’m a little sadㅠ They said they attached it because it’s better to drain out the disinfectant solution that went in during surgery and the remaining blood. I was told about this during the consultation too, so I’m just accepting it. It’s scheduled to be removed on Monday.
During my first surgery, the process of waking up from anesthesia was so, so, so, so painful, so this time too, as soon as I was waking up and felt cold, nauseous, and dizzy, I seriously thought, wow, I’m crazy for doing this again. But my condition got better in almost about 15-20 minutes, so I was moved. This time I didn’t have any nausea at all. Before, I was literally burying my head in a plastic bag.
After waking from anesthesia, I moved to the recovery room and lay down, and seriously, it didn’t hurt at all. It was just that the bandage was so tight that it felt stuffy. I also had fat grafting, so I had thigh liposuction too, but I felt absolutely nothing, so I was shocked and thought they hadn’t taken any fat, and touched my thighs. After touching the gauze attached between my legs, I thought, ah, they did take it. (When I changed clothes and looked, my thighs were really bruisedㅋㅋ) But around 1:00, the dizziness gradually faded, my stomach felt better, my stomach started rumbling, and then I gradually started feeling pain. The feeling around the breast border is like someone pressing hard on a bruised area.ㅋㅋ My thighs also feel tingly. But aside from having no strength because I haven’t eaten anything from 8 p.m. yesterday until this time today, it really doesn’t hurt that badly!
I didn’t want to sweat, so I took a taxi and got off in front of my home, so I don’t feel gross at all. Huhu
