After <photo taken on the evening of the surgery day> Hi everyone, I finally had liposuction last Friday morning First, I’ll write it in order! (Day 1) My appointment was at 10 a.m., so after arriving at the hospital, I removed my jewelry or changed into nipple patches and disposable panties, then went to take the before photos ← it was so embarrassing Then after consulting with the director + consultant, I waited less than 5 minutes and went in for surgery. I was about to enter the operating room and I got so scared, but it wasn’t as cold as I expected, and the operating room nurses comforted me well, so I think I felt reassured.. Then they inserted an anesthesia injection into the top of my foot, and the procedure was done under sedation + local anesthesia. When I opened my eyes, I was in the recovery room (2:30 p.m.). When I woke up, I was so cold, so I pressed the bell and said I was cold, and they turned on the heater for me. Then I saw the photo of the fat they removed and asked how long I had slept. They said the surgery took a little under 2 hours, I recovered in the operating room for about 30 minutes, then went to the recovery room and slept for about an hour and a half. Somehow my arms wouldn’t go upㅠㅠ At the hospital that day it was fairly bearable, but from the moment I took a taxi home, it hurt like crazy As soon as I got home, I ate one snack, took my medicine, and slept while aching. Then when I woke up around 7 p.m., my arms didn’t hurt as much as I expected? Just kind of severe muscle soreness?? And I immediately looked in the mirror Seriously, just as the saying goes, it looked like it had been cut away. It was only day 1, so there must have been a lot of swelling, but I was amazed. I’ll attach photos And (Day 2) The next day around 10 a.m., they told me to remove the pads This was truly complete chaos... The compression garment was so tight I couldn’t even take it off, my arms absolutely wouldn’t go above my navel, and because of arm compression + swelling, my hands swelled even worse than Doraemon’s hands.. In the end, my older sister cut it off for me.. So I couldn’t wear the compression garment, and I wrapped a compression bandage over my clothesㅠㅠ But once I took off the compression garment, it felt much better After that, when I slept again, I suffered from intense muscle soreness and chills (Day 3) It was much better than days 1~2. I could go for walks and eat meals more easily! The swelling in my hands went down a lot, and the muscle soreness in my arms went from 100 to 70! They said I could shower that day, but my chills were so bad that I only washed my lower body + hair and didn’t shower my upper body,, lol (Day 4) was the day I went to work. I went to work without much trouble, and since it’s an office job, it was okay Muscle soreness was about 60?? The soreness felt different on the commute to work and the commute home, and I could tie my hair if I really struggled? (Day 5) is today, and even though putting on clothes is still a bit difficult, I can do it without help, and muscle soreness is about 50? But although the swelling in my hands is all gone, the lower part of my arm and the area below my elbow are so swollen that they bulge out. My upper arms are bony-thin, but the elbow line is swollenㅠㅠ Still, everything is thinner than before!
I’ll also write a review from one week onward~after getting the stitches removed
Everyone, please leave your opinions on how it looks!!
Oh, and at the hospital where I had surgery, except for the consultant, the nurses were kind of rude. I went for a consultation after work and was about 10 minutes late, so I called ahead, but when I arrived, one of them sighed like “ha,” and I saw them slam the keyboard so hard it looked like it would break, and I really held back my anger. They were also supposed to make an appointment for stitch removal after surgery but didn’t do that either + they didn’t tell me to buy the medication in advance, so I had to go buy medicine after surgery. Well, anyway, I’m satisfied with the result..＠¡
