I had liposuction on my thighs and under the buttocks on 11/1. I’m about 163 cm and 54 kg, the upper body is around a size 55.5 to 66, and the lower body is definitely a size 66, so I used to buy clothes based on the waist to make them fit. My thighs were at the level where size 66 pants felt tight, so I had to choose clothes very carefully. I had laser liposuction, and because I had spinal anesthesia I was conscious, but I was extremely cold during the surgery and shook from fear. My blood pressure dropped a bit during the operation, so the doctor was worried, but there were no other problems. After anesthesia and incision making (one on each side above the knees, one on each side behind the knees, and one on each side in the center through the body hair, plus two on each side where the buttocks crease) there were 10 incision sites in total. They injected the solution, used the laser, and then suctioned... The process was the same as for other people. They started from the back of the thighs, then turned me over to do the front... There was almost no blood, and they said a total of 2300 cc was removed. I asked if that wasn’t too little during the surgery, and they said people who are very obese usually have around 3000 cc removed, so for me that amount was fine. It started around 1:30 and seemed to take about 2 hours.. They wrapped my buttocks and legs with bandages and sponge-like padding, and I lay in the recovery room from around 3:30 until the anesthesia wore off.. I had no sensation in my legs, so I just lay there like a corpse.. There was no pain.. While I was lying there, I guess the fluid all came out.. the bed was soaked with water... Around 8 p.m., the anesthesia had completely worn off, and I thought I should go, but when I stood up, I felt blood rush down and got dizzy, so I couldn’t leave. Since I had fasted since the morning and it was right after surgery, they said to eat a bowl of porridge and lie down a little longer before going, so I left around 10. I put on the compression garment right away, barely managed to hail a taxi, and went home. After surgery on 10/1, I rested at home until 10/4, and even going to work on the 5th was still difficult.. The incision sites under the buttocks stung, and it was really hard to take off and put on the compression garment in the bathroom... Nothing came out except on the day of surgery. I heard other people had fluid draining at home too, but nothing came out for me. Saying normal daily life is possible immediately after surgery is a big exaggeration. It seems like movement only gets easier after about 10 days.. Right now, maybe because recovery is going well, the swelling has gone down a lot and I can squat, but the areas where the fat is clumped together seem to be getting a bit worse as the days go by.. On the first day there was no bruising or clumping at all, but after about 3 days both inner thighs turned dark purple with bruises.. I do bruise easily by nature, but it was black and bruised to a degree that felt quite severe.. The clumping also increased more as time passed.. The lower part under the buttocks was noticeably reduced right after surgery, and on the thighs I could feel after about 10 days that the inner side near the knees and the upper part had become a bit looser. The inner upper thighs still seem about the same, but I’m hoping they’ll improve with endermologie massage. I went through the first cosmetic surgery of my life with fear and trembling, but it seems like if you want to become pretty, you have to endure a bit of pain.. Thigh liposuction seems effective if you get it as a kind of correction rather than expecting stick-thin legs. I’m satisfied for now. Since they say liposuction is a matter of time, I’ll wait a bit more patiently. The young woman in the bed next to me when I had surgery had calf liposuction, and they said about 300 cc came out. I also have a lot of excess muscle and fat in my calves, so once my thighs have recovered and once I’m a bit freer financially, I’m going to try calves too. Today I’m going for my first massage session. They said the basic package is 4 sessions, so I’ll try it and share my thoughts again. I’m normally a lazy person who doesn’t post things like this often, but I read many firsthand accounts here and got a lot of help, so I’m posting this secretly at work to offer a little help too. I hope everyone becomes even prettier..
