I got arm liposuction at [Clinic A], and here’s my one-month follow-up! Right after surgery, even raising my arms felt sore, and because of the swelling I was honestly worried whether the line would come out nicely or not.
But as each day passed, the pain in my arms eased and the dull sensation came back, and I could see the line starting to come alive, so these days I actually look forward to getting dressed. Before, even if I wore anything with sleeves that were even a little narrow, the upper arm fat would bulge out, so I always looked for cardigans or clothes with a somewhat boxy fit. My closet was full of that kind of clothing...
Now, even if I wear fitted clothes, the arm line falls straight, so I feel more confident wearing whatever I want. It seems like my confidence has gone up a bit too! It still feels a little firm and lumpy, so I keep stretching whenever I can and managing it as the hospital instructed. The manager and director said that the fibrous swelling will loosen over time and the line will get even slimmer, and if this much changed in one month, I’m already excited to see how much slimmer it’ll get later, though of course I guess my own effort matters too?,,
I’m really feeling these days that with liposuction, aftercare is truly half the battle. There’s even a dedicated high-frequency staff member inside the hospital, so it was easy to go there, and if I had to manage it alone I would have felt lost and had no idea what to do. Because they check my condition regularly and take care of it, maybe it’s just my imagination, but recovery feels much faster? People around me also tell me I’ve gotten bony-slim, so I’ve just been happy lately lol. Do you think my bulky look has disappeared too after the liposuction? What do you think?
