It's already been 2 weeks since I entrusted my arms and hip-thigh-butt area to Director Choi at Leart I'm seriously such a scaredy-cat and whiny person that I was debating whether not to do it right up until I got on the operating table ㅠㅠ Because I was doing my arms and hip-thigh-butt area at the same time, they were going to put the anesthesia injection on the top of my foot, but when I fussed, they did it on my arm The nurse(?) who was there kept talking to me and told me not to be too nervous, so it helped a little They said my eyes would close, and when I opened them, it was over. The surgery itself really didn't hurt
But after that was hell ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Every day I regretted it so much, wondering why I did it, and I think I just kept thinking that getting pretty is hard I learned what it means to swell up like you'll burst if someone taps you ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ And I understood why people who had liposuction said going to the bathroom was so hard Sitting on the toilet was really, really hard ㅠㅠ
The compression garment was much more uncomfortable than I expected. Since I was swelling up, it squeezed that area tightly... I wore compression garments top and bottom and lived moving around super stiffly ㅠㅠ
After a week, the swelling in my arms went down and my legs swelled up a lot Still, moving got better than before, so I took walks every day But the tops of my feet were so swollen that I couldn't wear the shoes I usually wore If you're doing the hip-thigh-butt area, definitely prepare bigger shoes...
Somehow 2 weeks passed, and by the time I went to get the stitches removed, my arms were okay enough to move around this way and that My legs were still stiff, but they got good enough that I could walk fast
As soon as the stitches were removed, I took off the compression garment and went to work It was so uncomfortable, but I could finally breathe ㅠㅠ I'm choosing to believe the words that you wear it because of sagging, and that it doesn't affect the line...
When I read reviews from people who had liposuction, I heard that the major swelling goes down around 2 weeks But I feel like mine hasn't gone down enough yet, because when I move, it feels a bit tight from the swelling
Visually, my 2-week appearance didn't seem that different from before But when I looked at the before photos, it had changed a lot. Left is before, right is after. What do you think? A thigh gap has appeared, though very subtle. I think it will definitely show once the swelling goes down During the consultation, they said almost confidently that I'd get a thigh gap, so I was looking forward to it, and I'm really relieved ㅠㅠ
They say it starts going down dramatically in week 3 and you only know after a month, so I'm going to look forward to it more They said my legs can become bone-thin thighs, so I want to believe more will definitely go down from here...
I was stressed because of how stiffly I moved, so I didn't manage my diet Once moving becomes a bit easier, I should start diet management and exercise again
