One-line summary - A clinic that helped reduce my size despite birth-control side effects
Weight change: 62.8 kg > 55.8 Pants size change: 66~77 > 55~66
I had been taking birth control pills for more than 6 months. I didn't even realize I was gaining weight because of the side effects. After liposuction, my legs looked so thick by comparison that I complained and searched everywhere for a body-contouring injection clinic.
Before the first visit, I booked via KakaoTalk and got a somewhat mechanical reply. It felt a bit less trustworthy, but friends and app reviews were all praising it wildly, so I went for a consultation with an 'okay...' kind of feeling. The consultant seemed very confident, and I even thought, 'If you only eat like this, of course you'd lose weight...'
After the consultation, I sat down and there were a ton of people. But the clinic was small and the waiting room was awkward, so I was sitting there uncomfortably with everyone else. First week's weight check: 62.8... Wow, I really had gained a lot. It was my heaviest ever, and I felt dizzy. (As advertised, they did not measure InBody)
☆☆☆☆Real treatment review starts here☆☆☆☆
I got injections. I won't judge the doctor's personality too much haha The mixed medication was put into a large syringe and injected into the inside and outside of my thighs.
After the shots, the injected areas itched a little and, as expected for body-contouring injections, swelled up quite a bit. If I said I felt dizzy, they gave me medicine and I took it. I don't know what effect the medicine had...
Until week 3 there wasn't much visible change, so I wondered if I'd been scammed, but from week 4 onward the effect started kicking in. It started slimming down from the injected areas first. The person I live with noticed it first lol
Even pants size L had been tight, but now I can fit into M (not in a flattering way). The line of my thighs was smoothed out overall, and even my calves slimmed down as a bonus.
I got used to the doctor's personality after seeing them for a few weeks, so just go for it... I think exercise or walking would make it work even better, and because the side effects of the birth-control pills hit me hard, I feel like I lost less than I should have lol
