1. The hospital where I had my first surgery went under and disappeared lol I didn’t go around to several consultations; I just followed a friend there and paid without fear. They even said at the time that they’d give me a 500,000 won discount if I paid in cash, so I paid only in cash, which means I don’t even have a surgical record. Thinking about it now, I really had no fear.. I only had my abdomen, flanks, and upper arms done, but due to over-liposuction, my entire abdomen had severe uneven indentations, and my upper arms ended up sagging asymmetrically. At first I thought it was temporary, but even after getting radiofrequency treatments at a care clinic, manual massages, and trying everything, it never smoothed out, so I admitted it was botched.
2. After 5 years, I decided to get revision surgery on my abdomen and upper arms Of course, revision surgery costs twice as much. But I wasn’t even hoping to lose fat; I just wanted this lumpy, uneven line corrected. It got a little better than before, but only a little. No matter whose godlike hands perform it, liposuction cannot have zero adhesions. So now I’m living with both the traces of the first surgery and the traces of the revision surgery.
These days, I hear there are many procedures like injections or extracorporeal shock wave therapy to loosen up lumpy, hardened areas, but upper arms that became asymmetrical and stretched out from over-liposuction do not go back no matter what you do.. At least after doing intense strength training for several years, I gained some firmness. But they’re still asymmetrical. And even now, my upper arms sometimes still have a slightly stinging, numb sensation.
I think liposuction is really a surgery you have to think about very carefully before doing. Every time I look at my arms and abdomen, I wonder whether I should look for another method, whether there might be better options these days, but I don’t want to regret it again, so I decided to stop here.
