I am a bride-to-be with a wedding shoot in June and a wedding planned for January next year! I was planning to lose some weight for the June shoot, but I was never really a heavy person to begin with (52 kg), so I thought I would just lose a little and shoot. But the more I lost, the more my upper arms stood out... Even when I was thinner, my upper arms were always thick T_T I really think it is one of the hardest areas to slim down. I usually do not wear revealing clothes, so I had not been paying much attention to it. But for the wedding shoot, I wanted to wear a dress with a bit more exposure and take the photos. Even though they said they would do retouching, I did not think I would enjoy the shoot if I was unhappy with the dress fitting, so I decided to get arm lipo. I found a few places on the app and booked consultations, but the first clinic, Delight, was so good that I reserved right away and had the arm lipo done there. I had arm 360 + accessory breast surgery. Everyone was so kind on the day of surgery that I could have the operation comfortably, and after recovery they helped me put on the compression garment, so I just dressed and went home well! (I definitely recommend wearing something with buttons that is easy to put on and take off!!!) Before surgery I had read many reviews saying the swelling and pain get worse from the next day, day 3, and day 5 compared to the day of surgery, so I was very worried. But the next day I could still raise my arm enough to touch my ear, and apart from a rubbing or itchy feeling when touching the skin, there was nothing uncomfortable... haha. The day after surgery I reported back to the director, got swelling laser treatment, and came home! I am taking swelling medication regularly and making sure to walk once a day! On the first day after surgery I was so happy I kept thinking why I did not do this sooner... T_TTTT And as time passes, I am looking forward to the swelling going down and the line becoming even prettier, so the current discomfort is something you can really get through happily haha. * Day of surgery: I really felt fine, took the subway home, and ate well too. As time passed it was just mild muscle soreness! * Next day after surgery: the swelling gets a little worse and I start looking like Doraemon! The pain was not as bad as muscle soreness when you have a body ache from a cold. It depends on the person, but for me the muscle soreness was about 3 out of 10? Just a little uncomfortable when moving, and I did not get as many bruises as I expected! When movement gets a bit easier, I plan to leave another review!
