I’m four weeks out from abdominal plus love-handle liposuction. Last time I only wrote about the uncomfortable parts, but now that it’s week four, I feel like I can live again lol. I’ll also write about what has changed this time!
Waist measurements First, my pants have become looser. That’s the biggest noticeable change T_T. It feels like my waist has decreased by 10 cm lol. I actually expected the circumference to decrease more, so I was surprised it was 5 cm. Abdominal circumference: 96 → 91, down 5 cm. My weight is 71 kg with clothes on! My goal for one month is to break 70 kg!
Aftercare The clinic also provided aftercare, so I received it; it was included in the price. They said hyperbaric oxygen therapy might help with swelling. I didn’t notice anything immediately afterward, but the effect showed up the next day lol. I woke up without swelling the following morning, which was amazing.
Lumps The lumps are still there T_T, but they’re definitely smaller than last week. In the evening, while stretching or showering, I massage around my navel in circles. I’m not sure whether it helps. Maybe because such a large amount was removed lol, I don’t know, but I just do it every day.
Exercise I’m not doing any particular workouts; I’m just aiming to walk more than 8,000 steps every day. I’m filling that with commuting and evening walks! I’m considering starting exercise in a month!
Swelling Maybe because I walk every day, the swelling seems to be naturally going down. Since 4,000 cc was removed, I expect and look forward to a big before-and-after difference. I’ll come back in a month and leave another review about how it looks then.
