I had been searching off and on for about a year, and I had heard through word of mouth for a long time that this was a great place for arm liposuction, so it had been my number one hospital in my mind. I really liked that there was zero viral marketing.
If extra fees are added elsewhere because of things like body fat percentage or weight, it would just make me annoyed and I would not want to get surgery, but this hospital uses fixed pricing, so they treated the widest area with no extra charge. Because of that, as soon as I made up my mind, I called on the weekend, booked the surgery without needing consultations at other hospitals, and had same-day consultation and same-day surgery right away~
I went without much expectation, so the facilities were not exactly state-of-the-art, but they seemed like a place that has been operating for a long time. The staff were normally kind, so it did not leave a bad impression.
In fact, I went having only chosen the hospital, so I knew nothing about liposuction. But the director kindly explained things I did not even need to ask about, such as the tissue quality, where and how fat would be removed, and other things to prevent adhesions, which made me trust them, and they answered all my questions kindly.
I had not even asked for it, but when the doctor smiled and said they would remove absolutely everything that could be taken out, I found it amusing haha
That said, maybe because it was the first surgery slot... I was very nervous, so I tried making jokes and talking lightly to ease the mood, but none of the staff responded, which actually made me flustered. They were clearly busy, but it felt like they were doing only the bare tasks like machines, and when they applied the disinfectant, I had this eerie feeling like I had turned into a doll on the operating table before going into surgery. Judging from the situation, it definitely did not seem like a shadow doctor, and in the recovery room I also felt they were taking good care of me~
I was worried because I did not have a compression garment, but there was no sagging or anything like that... I even tried to buy one privately and wear it, but gave up. It was really hard and uncomfortable, so not wearing one is truly a major advantage.
Even though the swelling has not fully gone down yet, the arm shape is definitely slim. When I touch it, the muscle and bone are clearly palpable, so I keep squeezing it myself and get surprised sometimes haha. The abdomen and love-handle pouch area were definitely carved down too, and I am just waiting for the day the swelling disappears.
This was my first surgery and it went so well that I do not think I will need a revision... I had worried that if it went badly I would have to go through this pain again with a second surgery, but I think this will end with just the first one.
Also, the consultation coordinator replies really quickly and well. I have heard of hospitals that are not easy to reach, but here they answer in real time on KakaoTalk and take good care of you.
