<Fat shot. If you ask to see it, I’ll show you> Five years ago, I had lower-body liposuction, excluding the calves, at a plastic surgery clinic near Seolleung Station. Since it was my first time, I was really worried and had consultations at three places, and this was one of them. The director gave a very thorough consultation and also did an ultrasound. At the time, ghost surgery was an issue, so I checked with the director several times. Of course, the director performed the surgery, and the surgery was done neatly and well.
I was extremely nervous before surgery, but once the anesthetic went in, I passed out. A nurse woke me up, and I woke up feeling really good, but then I felt tremendous pain in my lower body. It felt like an elephant was stepping on me. Still, I was curious, so I looked in the mirror, and liposuction really does show results immediately after surgery. The fat was completely gone, and my legs had the shape I wanted.
The bruising was severe, almost like a zombie from a movie. My legs turned black and swelled a lot. To reduce the swelling, I dragged my painful legs around and walked hard. Maybe because of that, after 2 weeks the swelling went down so much that I could wear normal pants.
After surgery, fluid kept leaking out. You definitely need to prepare something like adult diapers. Otherwise, your bedding will become a complete mess. Because of the saying that if a lot of fluid comes out, the swelling goes down faster, I tried hard to drain it, but believe it or not.
For aftercare at the hospital, I received it a lot, maybe twice a week or once a week, but I don’t remember clearly. It hurt a lot. And after finishing all the aftercare, at the final appointment, they exposed the surgical area, took photos, and explained everything carefully again while looking at them.
They also showed me the removed fat in a plastic bag so I could check it. The aftercare was good too. I’m thinking about doing my calves, and I plan to go back. But parking is hell. It’s a semi-basement parking lot, and it’s really nerve-racking. The total cost, including surgery fee, medication, and compression garment, seemed to be in the low 3 million won range. It’s still maintaining well so far.
