Before <before surgery> After <after surgery> Before <before surgery> After <after surgery> 1. Procedure type - Revision liposuction (abdomen, flanks, love-line area) 2. Preoperative consultation Because of frequent rapid weight gain and loss, I reached the highest weight of my life. I felt it would be too hard to succeed at dieting through my own efforts alone, so I happened to visit The Skinny Clinic after seeing an Instagram ad.
Originally, I was thinking of dieting while getting OPT injections, but after consulting with Director Kim Jin-seo, I heard something completely unexpected,,,
I had thought the deeply indented, bumpy, dark horizontal line on my abdomen, which had always bothered me, was simply a line from gaining weight, but I was told it was caused by liposuction I had received in the past (excessive fat extraction and adhesions).
They said that to make the uneven fat flat, revision abdominal liposuction was needed first. The remaining fat overall would be removed only to refine the area, and at the same time the aspirated fat would need to be grafted back into the depressed areas. In short, it was about precisely refining the height differences of the uneven areas. And for areas with adhesions, they would separate them with adhesion injections and let them reattach naturally..
3. Surgery process I was worried not only because of the financial burden, but also because it was surgery rather than a simple procedure. However, since it was a private clinic that performs only one surgery per day rather than a factory-style hospital, I thought it would be safer. After consulting with the director, I gained complete trust because they considered the overall line and safety instead of blindly extracting a large amount of fat, so I ultimately decided to proceed with the surgery,,!!
On the day of surgery, the director marked the surgical design on my abdomen and consulted with me once more, explaining the overall details of the surgery. After that, I prepared for surgery, entered the operating room, and was soon anesthetized. While I was trembling, I lost consciousness, and when I woke up, the surgery was already over.
4. Before & After The deeply indented line on my abdomen, which was my biggest concern, has almost disappeared as the height difference was evened out! It was something I cared about a lot, but I had given up because I thought it was an unerasable mark, so I’m really satisfied that it was resolved.
Also, my body type has a thick and short waist, kind of like a thick candle, and because my chest size is large, even a little weight gain in my upper body makes me look very bulky. Maybe that’s why I had liposuction up to my waistline before, but I didn’t see any effect. This time, though, I actually have a waistline haha. For me, it’s deeply moving.
5. Closing After revision liposuction, the diet management I did while exchanging KakaoTalk messages with Director Kim Jin-seo helped me stay committed to dieting, and I think the postoperative care helped the swelling and scars heal a bit faster.
It’s currently about 5 months after surgery. My dieting motivation isn’t burning as strongly as it did at first, and I’ve become a little lax, so to renew my resolve not to go back to how I was before, I wrote this somewhat diary-like review while looking back on the past months. Now that I’ve written it, I feel motivated again! I’ll manage my weight a little more and maybe reveal full-body photos later!!! (This time, just partial photos, quietly,,)
I strongly recommend The Skinny Clinic to anyone who, like me, is experiencing side effects from improper liposuction, has concerns about their body shape, or finds it difficult to diet through willpower alone. :)
