Before<Before the procedure on 7.18 (57kg)>After<Day 14 after the procedure on 8.1 (55.3kg)(I tried to take the photos from as similar an angle as possible!)><From the day of the procedure on 7.19 to one week after, because of swelling (58.7kg)>I consistently exercised and dieted for 2 years and lost about 10kg, but my thighs really wouldn’t slim down.. Since I don’t have much fat on my upper body, the more I dieted, the worse the asymmetry between my upper and lower body got, so I was stressed and looked into liposuction. But it’s summer, and I couldn’t wear compression garments in July and August.. When I had been reading reviews on a community, I didn’t realize it was to this extent, but when I seriously looked into doing it, I found that recovery required more care than I expected.. I was about to give up, but then I saw reviews for fat-extraction injections and went straight for a consultation. I had the procedure one week later, and now it’s been 15 days!
I went to work right away the next day and worked (it was moving day, so I worked really hard). Because there was some fat-dissolving solution? inside my thighs, for about a week it was a little uncomfortable when sitting on a chair or on the toilet, and my legs were extremely swollen.. The inner thighs were also so swollen that they rubbed, so it bothered me a bit.
During week 1, both the bruising and swelling were severe, and my weight actually went up by 1.7kg. As the swelling moved downward, my knees and calves also became very swollen and tight. I was really worried the swelling wouldn’t go down, but exactly from week 1, the swelling started draining fast. Yesterday, when I went to the hospital for my 2-week follow-up care, I had lost 3.4kg! The swelling is almost gone, and only a little bruising remains around the calves. I want to take good care of it and definitely wear white pants in the fall.
I’m originally the type who talks a lot and likes to share when something is good, so people looking at it might not feel like it’s a huge change, but personally I’m super satisfied It’s only been 2 weeks, but every day I take out all the pants from my closet that used to be small and try them on.
