Day 1: I went into surgery around 11 am and woke up at 2:30. When I woke up in the recovery room, it didn't hurt as much as I thought. It was a little over an hour by subway from the hospital to home, but I arrived home safely, half sitting and half standing! When I got home and lay down, one of my calves suddenly swelled to the point of bursting and a bruise appeared. At this time, I was in so much pain that I wanted to cry, but I took painkillers, ate food, took antibiotics, and when I could bear it, I quickly fell asleep.
Day 2-3: It doesn't hurt as much as I thought. Although it was a bit of a distance, there was no problem walking and living at home. Going to the bathroom, which everyone says feels like death, is not bad. However, I was not confident in leaving the house, so I praised myself a hundred times for not listening to the advice of the hospital counselor who said I could just take a day off.
Day 4-5: My calf was swollen before, but it has returned to softness. But instead, it feels like my thighs are swollen. Going to the bathroom is starting to become difficult. When I took off my compression garment and took a shower for the first time, I noticed that I had more bruises than I expected. Biobond on both sides of the groin? I don't know if it is, but it's a round lump that pops up and is very sore.
Day 6-7: Thighs turn into yellow pickled radish. At the same time, the bruises turn black and red, reaching their peak. I read somewhere on the internet that if the bruise turns red in a mesh format, there is a high chance that it will be discolored, but I am worried because it seems like that is exactly the case now. After applying the bruise cream, I put on the compression garment while the stickiness remained, but it hurt so much that I took off the compression garment today. In fact, it hurts even more because the skin shakes when I take off the compression garment.
Height: late 160's, weight: mid-50's. My upper body was skinny, but my lower body, on the other hand, had a wide pelvis and a lot of fat only on the upper thighs and buttocks. There was originally a gap in the empty eye, but the riding fat was sticking out!
I decided on surgery with the hope that liposuction would solve my riding fat complex. I couldn't see it with my own eyes, but the hospital said they removed close to 5000cc... In fact, I don't like the lines so far, perhaps because of the swelling. Riding still makes me look fat. I measure my thigh size every day with a tape measure, and my thigh size before and after surgery is the same. Usually, I wonder when the lines will become visible and I'm afraid that I've wasted money. My daily life is just eating, sleeping, and taking a light walk. If I had to stand up to work or have a situation that required a lot of movement, I don't think I would ever be able to do it. They say time is short, but it doesn't really pass.ㅠㅠ
