1-week review <Surgery day> Right after surgery, I could already see how much slimmer my arms had become, so I was really satisfied!!
The director, the manager, and all the staff were so kind, which helped me stay calm on the surgery day and go through the procedure comfortably haha. They even played music in the operating room and helped ease my nerves, so even though it was the first surgery of my life, I was able to go through it without being too tense and come back safely.
After the surgery, I went home alone by public transportation without a guardian and got home on my own.
<1 week> During the first week, it was hard to raise my arms, and I felt a pulling sensation. Before surgery, I had looked up a lot of videos and reviews, and I think my pain and swelling were less than I expected! When I was just resting, there was almost no pain, and on the morning of day 2, the surgical area only felt a little throbbing. But it really hurt when I tried to raise my arms high, when I bumped into someone, and when I put on and took off the compression garment.. It also hurt when I was driving and went over speed bumps
I had this done while attending school, and it did not interfere with daily life as much as I had worried. My upper arms had been very thick, so being able to see the arm line already cleaned up from the first week made me so happy!
