Real same-day review of arm liposuction... ask me anything

Hello! I finally had arm liposuction done! Even until the day before surgery, I kept thinking about a million things, starting with “What if I don’t wake up from anesthesia?” and honestly debated canceling a hundred thousand times because I was so worried.. For people like me who are anxiety-filled, I’ll share the process in detail from the day of surgery! I got a lot of information from reviews. This community has a lot of really solid reviews by body area and the amount of data is huge, which was great. But if you don’t have the right membership level, it’s a bit annoying to check posts or leave comments, so real-time information exchange was a little frustrating, though it was still definitely the best place to do the legwork. First, I strictly followed the 8-hour fast on the day of surgery! Other than sleep socks and an extra pair of underwear, there wasn’t really anything else I needed to bring, so it was convenient. Right after I arrived at the hospital, the nurse checked my weight and it came out to 63.1 kg. (I’m so excited to see the changes after surgery!) After that I moved to the bed, watched videos about precautions and side effects, and received additional explanations. They said it’s better to wear the sleep socks in advance, so I quickly changed into them. Also, everyone kept scaring me by saying the injection on the top of the foot hurts a lot, so I was nervous, but it was more tolerable than I expected! If even a scaredy-cat like me could do it, I think everyone else will be fine too. haha After the nurse finished guiding me, I met the surgeon, and he honestly told me that because the skin on my upper arms lacks some firmness, I might need a lifting procedure later in addition to liposuction. That actually made me trust him more than if he had just said everything would definitely be fine. He explained in detail how much of a line I could expect and where the incision would be, so I felt much more at ease. Right up until I went into the operating room I was so, so nervous that I wanted to run away, but the nurses were so kind and reassuring that I barely held it together and went through with it. Now that it’s done, I kind of wonder why I was so scared. haha I still have swelling, so the line only looks a little refined for now, but I can’t wait to see how it looks once the swelling goes down! If anyone is considering liposuction and has questions, leave a comment. I’ll answer as much as I can based on what I know!:)
