First, ahead of my wedding in the second half of this year, I wanted to refine my arms, which were especially thick compared with the rest of my body, and I wanted to wear a pretty dress, so I decided to get arm liposuction! When choosing a hospital, the points I paid close attention to were whether they would avoid sucking out too much fat to make my arms look skeletal, and whether they would prevent sagging, since arm laxity was my biggest concern. I went around visiting clinics in person, and honestly, after I had already paid a deposit at another clinic, [Clinic A] stole my heart when I visited them as a last try... The reason I was won over was mainly the attitude and confidence the surgeon showed, and the fact that the surgeon had even personally performed liposuction on family members! Also, at other clinics I was told that my arms would not sag any less than they do now, or that some degree of sagging could remain, but the surgeon at [Clinic A] said my arms would absolutely not sag and told me not to worry. That made me think, this is it, and I booked surgery To briefly talk about the surgery itself, on the day of surgery the nurses took good care of me and I was discharged safely! It was not nearly as painful as I expected, so I think I slept through it safely.. From the next day I could not raise my arms above 90 degrees... I was told that a total of 4,200 cc was removed, and maybe because of that it really pulled and hurt... (+Still, I did not bruise much!) From days 3 to 4, I worked hard on stretching, and things clearly improved!! I kept wearing the compression garment and stretching hard, and by one month I had the compression garment altered to be much smaller, and the fit had changed noticeably! And, the arm sagging I was most worried about!!! There is still some bio-bond, so it looks like it is hanging down heavily, but as the days go by it is lifting up and attaching more. At first I was worried because the area near the underarm got wrinkly when I raised my arm, but it rose back up incredibly fast! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for the 4-month review, the scar area is still red, but it has gotten thinner and I am extremely satisfied with the shape Left side: 29.5 before surgery -> 23.5 after surgery Right side: 29 before surgery -> 24 after surgery So the circumference decreased by about 5 to 6 overall! My friends around me all want to do it too, and I have been hearing a lot that I lost weight 🖤 I also did a snap shoot and it went well. Very satisfied! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, for the roughly 5 to 6 month review, I had a good studio dress fitting For layered short-sleeve clothes, the sleeves were too loose and hanging off, so they even pinned them with safety pins.. It no longer seems like it is getting any thinner, and because the fat has softened, the skin texture has fully come back! If you are a bride-to-be, I think you should do it at least 6 months in advance (if you are removing a lot). The downside is that my arms got so thin that now I need to lose weight all over my body too..!? Anyway, I am glad I did it early 🖤
