2-week update after arm liposuction

This is my 2-week update after lipo. Two weeks later, I can move my arms much more freely, though not completely without restriction, so I’m happy. I still can’t reach my hair or scratch my head, so there are still some difficulties, but it doesn’t hurt much and seems okay overall. If I walk without wearing compression garments, it feels a little shaky, so compression wear is definitely a must. Some nights the itching gets really bad, and they told me to massage the area with ice and apply lotion to keep it moisturized. I was so itchy I couldn’t sleep, so once I took an allergy medicine and went to bed. Since that medicine makes you sleepy, I fell asleep and didn’t feel the itching. They said it should be okay to take it occasionally on really bad days. But since it’s not an allergic reaction, I’ll try to manage it with hydration, moisturizing cream, and ice massage, haha. The swelling has gone down a lot now, and my arm circumference has decreased from 35 cm before surgery to 30 cm. Even visually it feels much slimmer. And my chest also feels much thinner. The size only went down by 3 cm, but visually it looks even slimmer than that. When I go back to the hospital for aftercare, not only the staff in charge of care but everyone I meet there is kind and warm, so I always feel good after visiting. I’m not even good at small talk, but they start conversations gently first, and I just feel good. Because of that too, I think I really chose a good hospital. I truly recommend Choice Line. I get very shy, so the atmosphere really affects me. Anyway, I’m looking forward to the next aftercare visit. Then, bye for now.
