Hi! I had the procedure on my inner thighs and saddlebag area on December 27, 2022, and for two full days I wore leggings like they were my skin and just stayed homeㅋㅋㅋㅋ (not because I couldn’t move and couldn’t go out, I just had nowhere to go, so I only took walks...) On day 3, I went out!! But as soon as I took them off, the bruising spread within a day... Seriously, leggings seem to be the only answer. So from day 4 until now, I’ve been wearing them like my skin! There is swelling too, but they hold my legs firmly and support them, and it feels like there’s a protective layer from my pants?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ They don’t rub, and even if I scratch, the leggings are there, so it’s a bit better. I think I also feel less of the pain from my legs shaking when I walk.
The pain decreased somewhat until days 2-3, and then it just feels like it’s stayed at that level. It feels like I did squats.. but also like I got hit... Walking is still waddly and weird, and it hurts, but it’s tolerableㅎㅎㅎㅎ.. Running.. I really can’t bring myself to try yet... Just lying down is the best.
For swelling, the saddlebag line is already visibly cleaned up!! The inner side is just better than when it was tightly swollen! Originally, you have to wait at least 3 weeks, so I’ll keep managing it more and wait...ㅎㅎㅎ
I bruise really easily, and my skin is thin and weak, so I thought things would be really chaotic after the procedure, but it’s much more peaceful than expected! The bruises were mostly on the inner and back areas. Exactly the time when bruising is at its peakㅎㅎ... Maybe that’s why, every time I go to the bathroom......... it still takes forever.
Oh, on day 7 after the procedure, I also got extracorporeal shockwave therapy, and it still hurt quite a bit thenㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ so I got it at the weakest intensity.... At that level, it was tolerable. When they did the saddlebag area, I went up one level! But during it, at some point it got kind of itchy, and it was so hard to hold it in; ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Once I became aware of it, I kept feeling itㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ ;; I really struggled holding it in... After getting shockwave care, the bruises definitely became visibly darkerㅋㅋㅋㅋ I was shockedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Still, they said I need to get this to recover faster, so I gotta get it. My thigh circumference also went down by 1 cm. I couldn’t feel it... though..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Since I could feel how swollen I was, I actually thought it would have increasedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ sigh...~~ But my weight went up by 0.3 kg ^_^... Maybe because I weighed myself wearing a hoodieㅜ Shock therapy for my heart too, properly ^ㅁ^
I wish time would pass quicklyㅠㅠㅠ I want to compare more obvious before-and-after results already.. I’ll manage it better and bring another review.
