Before-before-before-after-after-after-after-after-after On the day of surgery, I was 163 cm and 60 kg! They removed 3,350 cc of pure fat! It’s been 18 days since my liposuction. These are the changes in my thigh line from day 4 to day 18!
The swelling suddenly goes down a lot, right?!! Where did my front thighs go?? During the week before getting the stitches removed, my weight really went up because of swelling and hard lumps, all the way to 66 kg, a 6 kg gain, so I was so swollen that I seriously wondered whether I should buy stretch mark cream. My thighs were 80% hard lumps ㅠㅠㅠ
Once the bruising and swelling moved down to my feet, even putting my feet on the ground was hard ㅠㅠ All week, I walked around with my hands on my waist and my butt sticking out, like a monkeyㅠㅠ
But last Saturday, as soon as I got the stitches removed, the swelling started draining rapidly from the next day, and by this Wednesday, just 4 days after stitch removal, I was back down to 60 kg, losing 6 kg..!! I think only about 25% of the hard lumps are left now?? I don’t walk around with my hands on my waist anymore!
Because of the hard lumps, the front thighs near my groin feel so tight that I can’t fully straighten my waist and legs, so like in the photo above, my posture still looks a little awkward ㅠ lol
They say care is important after liposuction, right?
Until the stitches were removed, I honestly focused mostly on recovery, avoiding salty and spicy foods, and focused on regaining strength with pork, duck, beef, and so on.
After getting the stitches removed, I started seriously cutting down on carbs first! Eating tofu or boiled eggs instead of rice made me feel full, so I didn’t end up looking for more food because I was hungry!
For swelling care, I’ve been consistently drinking pumpkin tea and pumpkin juice.
I’m still taking iron supplements, and I started taking the omega-3, vitamins, magnesium, etc. that I used to take before surgery again!
The weather also happened to warm up, and walking got easier for my legs, so after work every day I took my dog for walks and walked myself too, for over 30 minutes, which I hadn’t been able to do for a while!
I swell very easily and the swelling doesn’t go down well, so I have an air-pressure massage machine and a Seven Liner calf massager at home too lolol I heard air-pressure massage is good, so every evening while watching TV I do 15 minutes, and on some days 30 minutes! At first it hurt, but later it felt refreshing lololol
People around me are already noticing that my line has changed. Since my front thighs have been completely cleared out, I guess that makes sense.
