It's been a long time since I had the procedure, and even now I've poured nearly five times the surgery cost into every kind of treatment for reconstruction. I was afraid of liposuction and had been trying not to undergo reconstruction surgery, but the damage could not be fixed with treatments, so I came for a reconstruction surgery consultation.
Because of the side effects, what I was told changed every time I went to the hospital. They kept saying, "Your skin heals well, so it's like this now and it will get better soon," then "Your skin is weak, so it's like this now and it will get better soon." "People with good recovery are like this at the beginning." "Your recovery is weak, so it's like this now, but it will get better soon." Their words kept turning 180 degrees; they only made excuses and said nothing else, then gave me injections containing a lot of steroids.
In the end, because of that injection, my skin turned purple over an area larger than my palm, and pigmentation remained. It changed in an instant while I was getting the injection, but they gave me no explanation about what situation I was in, called in the manager, took out the injection, and told the manager to look closely, saying, "See how it changes color," while explaining it. It felt like they were showing me a demonstration case, as if it was the kind of case they only talked about in words and were now telling someone to look at it directly with their own eyes. But they gave me no explanation or aftercare at all, lied that it was only temporary, and sent me away.
In the end I became someone who ended up with pigmentation on top of surgery side effects, and after I came back again and again, at some point they stopped letting me meet the doctor. The manager said, "We handled everything for you, so why do you keep coming? You can't come anymore. Don't come. Don't contact us," and blocked me. What's more, the area with the worst side effects was not even the area I had requested for surgery. I didn't even know why they had suctioned the area; when the surgery ended, it had been butchered beyond recognition.
