After putting it off and putting it off, I finally got upper-arm liposuction. Medication and fat keep coming out past the bandage, so I’m a bit worried, but I’m going back tomorrow to get it stitched, so it should be okay~~ (I did it without telling my mom)
I did it at a one-doctor clinic where the director is a surgeon, and they recommended so little that I, the patient, felt disappointed(?)
(I can’t check the hospital above because it doesn’t seem to be listed in this community.. So in case it gets confused with somewhere else, I just set it as a random urology clinic for now...)
They said it’s hard for anyone to have as much fat accumulated in the upper arms as I do, and when looking at the ultrasound, they seemed really satisfied... But when I asked for the three arm areas (upper arms, accessory breasts, scapular area), they said it didn’t seem necessary to go that far, and in a body type like mine, even doing those three areas couldn’t be said to dramatically change the line. They said that in my current body condition, doing only the upper arms was also an option. (I think they recommended only the upper arms because my elasticity isn’t good, so even with the three areas it probably wouldn’t be as dramatic as other people)
But I begged them to please do all three areas..
With a chubby, fleshy body like this, the fact that my waistline comes in this much means I have a naturally good body shape, which sounded like not-quite-a-compliment but kind of a compliment... So!! I asked, while I’m at it, should I do my abdomen too? They said to try the upper arms first and do it if I’m satisfied.. And because my abdominal elasticity is even worse, they said they couldn’t 100% recommend it..... Such a cold director... A place that doesn’t easily do it even if you ask.. (But I like places like this)
The consent form wasn’t handled by the consultant; the director personally explained each item one by one, including side effects and scars, making sure I understood. They said I might want bone-thin arms, but my body is not in a condition where it can become bone-thin arms.. And because my skin elasticity is not good, this is an arm where removing too much fat would also be bad, and they said, you know this because I already told you a lot during the consultation, right? So I said, yes, I know.. When I asked, even if I work out hard..? they said, yes, if you work out hard, it may improve to some extent, but there won’t be any visible dramatic increase in elasticity~ They said it very bluntly ^^
There’s no pain, and as soon as I came out, I was hungry from fasting, so I gobbled down gimbap and udon, and on the way back I even finished off a Tous Les Jours cream bread. They said around day 3, I might suddenly crave certain foods, and asked me to be careful then while explaining the consent form.. Since it’s still the first day, this must just be my usual appetite...(?)
