Even when I dieted and actually lost weight, only my upper-arm fat just would not go away, and it subtly made me look bulky, so after thinking about it, I went and got the procedure. I had unlimited treatment on my upper arms, and I also had the bulging areas on my back done together. I was told they make 2 holes on each side behind the armpits and insert a long tube to extract the fat. It did not hurt. - Day of the procedure: I visited after work and had the procedure done. After consulting with the director, they designed the treatment area, and I think the procedure took about 1.5 to 2 hours. It was done under anesthesia, so it did not hurt, and afterward they show you the fat that was extracted. Being able to see it with my own eyes made it feel more real. I took antibiotics diligently for 3 days, and showering is possible after 24 hours. They wrap you with bandages after it is over. - After the procedure: Bruising started coming up from the day after the procedure, and the bruises went down below my elbows, so I have to wear long sleeves. It varies by person, but they say most of it goes away after 3 weeks, so I think I will need to wear long sleeves or three-quarter sleeves until then. I also applied bruise cream during the day and at night, and whenever I had time, I kept the compression bandages on. - Currently: To reduce swelling, I am combining swelling-reducing tea with cardio exercise. I still do not feel like my arms have slimmed down yet, but I think it is because of the swelling, and I am also losing weight while hoping the results will be satisfying after a month. It hurts if there is an impact to my arms, and they said I just need to be careful for the time being with strenuous exercise, lifting heavy things, and so on.
