Because of my muscular calves, which had been a lifelong obsession, I thought about it a lot, researched it, thought about it, and thought about it...
Now, I know everything theoretically as well as any specialist. (When I went to the hospital for a consultation, they only told me what they knew.)
Anyway, I found information here before the surgery. I looked it up, but I don't think there was any article that really answered the questions I was curious about.
Anyway, the conclusion was that I had surgery.
There seem to be many people who are worried about how I felt 10 days ago, so there are no significant results yet, but I would like to tell you about my experience so far. First, let me tell you about the
condition of my legs.
From elementary school until I was 20, my home and school were all on high ground, so
my muscles were strong. It sticks out and is thick, so-called legless. It's shaped like a jar. Anyway, the two jars came down under my skirt, so I almost couldn't wear the skirt.
I've pretended to be crazy and worn it when it was raining a lot or during a very hot weather, but other than that... ㅠㅠ I
got to the point,
went for a consultation, fixed the surgery date, and
left work on Saturday. After arriving around 3 o'clock, they took pictures and while they were out, they said they also had liposuction. They said liposuction is not very effective because the calf is made up of muscles, but in case I regret it later, they drew a picture on the outside of the calf. It looks like there was fat on that side. (I will ask later. When I got
on the operating table, I was very scared. It was my first time having plastic surgery, so I
was under local anesthesia. I was in a trance for a while, but
I still felt it. At first, I came to my senses a little, but I screamed because I thought it was a dream or reality. .Probably the teacher thought it was because he was sick.
They made an incision and used something like an electric shock device to find the nerve. I
felt a tingling sensation through the muscles on the outside, inside, and back (it hurts a bit...like cramping). They put my palm on the nerve and asked me to raise my toes to see if the nerve was in good condition. It's probably to check if it's gone. Then, tie it and do the same with the other side. Then, make a small incision on the inside and outside of the ankle area (the scar is barely visible, so you don't have to worry) and suck it in with a suction device. It feels like it's going up and down, but it doesn't hurt much. No. Anyway, I think it was about 2 hours in total. I wrapped it with a pressure bandage and rested for 2-3 hours in the recovery room, but
as the doctors said, returning to daily life right away is a gross exaggeration. It was very difficult to walk, so I took a long taxi. ㅠㅠ The next
day, I stayed in bed for the first and second days (I went to the hospital to get scar treatment on the 2nd day)
, and on the 3rd day, I was in pain because I went to work.
I felt sick on the 4th day, so I left early in the morning.
On the 5th day, I paid monthly leave.
On the 6th day of work, I went to the hospital. From the 10th day after removing the stitches and wearing the compression garment,
walking became much easier.
Before the surgery, I just wanted my legs to become thinner. I wasn't worried about the scars, but after the surgery,
I was also worried about the scars.
One of the reasons I can't walk well is because they put tape on my upper and lower skin by pulling the skin to prevent the scar from opening up. So when I bend my knee, it pulls it and it hurts. I think that's probably why it's harder to walk. My mom thinks I'm a hemorrhoid surgery patient hahaha (I'm just saying this, but it's a bad situation) (That's right)
And wearing compression garments is harder than I thought. My legs swell in the evening and I feel like they're going to burst.
But I have a goal,
so I have to be patient and cheer up. It seems like my inner muscles are temporarily losing strength, but it's really temporary. I'm worried that I'll end up with a squat. You don't have to do it (I was a little worried, too). A few days after the surgery, the outer muscles were very tight for a while. Even now, especially in the morning, when I wake up and take my first step, it's death. It hurts like a muscle strain after jumping a rabbit a hundred times. I'm worried. So I called the hospital and they casually told me it was a post-surgery symptom. So when I wake up in the morning, I just lie down and massage my legs. If I walk, it gets much better.
Actually, I think I used to hold my leg with my thumb and middle finger, but now I hold it with my second finger. I'm not sure what it was like before. I think it's probably because I'm wearing a compression garment.
Anyway, I think it's good to show courage rather than live
with a complex. But I'm completely against doing it out
of greed while having normal legs. As I came out of the operating room, I didn't have a pretty face, but I decided to just live with what I had. It's scary.
My mom is such a mean person to me. I think she'll scold me when everything
gets better. But deep down
, I think she thinks she did a good job. I don't want to live timidly because of a complex
. I had to go out now, so I just wrote this without any hesitation.
I wanted to be more helpful. Anyway ,
I want to help people who have the same problem as me. I will report on the progress and post again.
I really have something I want to ask the doctors and nurses. First of all, the nurses are extremely nervous when the patient gets on the operating table. I'm really nervous. But when they chat next to me while preparing for the surgery, it's a bit like that. When I'm lying down, the nurses stop because they're tired. I did it... ㅠㅠ Also, when I moaned in pain during the surgery, it was very comforting for the doctor to calm me down and say yes. It
's not a big deal to say "yes, then yes," kindly, but it was a relief in that situation.. Those words were definitely comforting. I wanted to give it to you.^^
Anyway, let’s all live an active life until the day we overcome our complexes!!! Fighting!!!
Well, today I was looking at skirts on the internet.
I haven't gotten thinner yet, but I'm so happy that I can dream now.
If you have any questions, please ask.
I'll answer to the best of my knowledge.
The price is 280 won for the work only, and I added 1 million won
for Jiheup. I paid a small amount in cash.
Then I'm going in a hurry. Oh my...it's late...see you again~
