It has been about 3 months since I had arm liposuction. I was already 163 cm and 54 kg, so I was not extremely overweight, but I did it because I had a wedding in November. I live in Busan, so I took the bus there alone, had the surgery in the morning, and took the bus back in the afternoon. I had thigh liposuction at Ramiche back in the day and came to Seoul alone, so arm liposuction felt easy. They said a total of 1,000 ml was removed from both sides combined. I told the female doctor that I was getting married in November and asked her to take good care of me. After anesthesia wore off, while I was lying in the operating room, blood kept coming from my left upper arm because the sutures were apparently not properly closed, so the female doctor came back and re-stitched the surgical site without anesthesia. Luckily, it had only been a few hours since the surgery, so there was still some anesthetic inside my arm, so it did not hurt even without additional anesthesia. After that, I was supposed to go back to have the stitches removed and receive aftercare, but I was working at the time and it was too hard to make the trip to Busan on weekends, so I told the hospital I would get the stitches removed at another hospital in Busan. I bought disinfectant, tweezers, and other supplies at the pharmacy after watching YouTube and removed the stitches myself at home. T_T I disinfected very thoroughly and tried to be neat, so there was no infection or anything like that, and the removal went well. Then, a little over a month later, I felt there was almost no before-and-after difference, so I went back for a follow-up, and it looked exactly the same as the before photos. If anything, it seemed puffier, so I wondered if it was from swelling. After that, I even posted a few more reviews on Babitalk saying there was no difference. T_T The manager said to wait for now and come back for a follow-up after 3 months, and on Babitalk I saw people saying that 1,000 ml on both sides was actually quite a small amount. In conclusion, it has been 3 months now, and while taking herbal medicine and having lost 3 kg, when I look at my arms there is not much difference. I really wanted bone-slim arms, but I still feel slightly short of being able to wear sleeveless tops. T_T The line is not that smooth either. T_T And the hospital staff were really, really kind, and the people who supported me in the recovery room were also unbelievably kind and treated me like a mom would, but I am not that satisfied with the result. About 70%? T_T T_T Maybe it can still change more later, but I do not think there will be a huge difference.
