My arms, floaters, and armpits were all dry! According to the InBody test, I was 159cm/46kg, and although I was relatively thin, only my forearms were thick. Perhaps because I've been doing traditional yoga for a long time, my muscles have developed a lot.
I didn't want bony arms, and I wanted to reduce the complexion of my forearms while maintaining my healthy appearance.
Consultation: I had a comfortable consultation with the counseling director in a friend-like atmosphere. The director personally performed an ultrasound and checked the thickness of the fat layer in every corner of my arm! After the ultrasound, the doctor explained in detail about the fat layer and muscle layer.
Day of surgery: After changing clothes, I had a consultation with the director. The director explained the surgical method in detail and drew a sketch. When I arrived at the operating room, two nurses kindly guided me. After applying disinfectant to my upper body, it hurt a little to insert the needle into the top of my foot. I was lying face down on the operating table when the director came into the operating room, and after seeing the director's face, I fell asleep. A nurse held his hand until he fell asleep. When
he woke up and rang the bell, they brought him porridge and he enjoyed it. When he woke up, he was wearing a compression garment. Please show me the plastic bag containing the fat, saying you pulled out 700cc! After a while, the director came and explained the general details of the surgery. After getting enough rest, I went home.
After surgery: On the day of surgery, there was no pain at all, so I did a lot of stretching! However, from the next day to the third day, it hurt a little. Since the elbow incision was not sutured, I had to put a sanitary pad inside the compression garment, but it was a bit difficult because the blood stopped flowing. On the third day, I took the sanitary pad away as there was no more blood, and it felt much better. After that, it didn't hurt or anything, just a little stiff. The only thing I was concerned about was the feeling and the tightness in my armpits when I applied it. I had no trouble cooking, doing housework, and living my daily life at home. If I had any questions, I immediately sent a KakaoTalk message to the director, and he responded quickly.
Stitch removal (2 weeks later): The director did the stitch removal himself, and it really didn't hurt at all. The director looked at the condition of my arm and praised me for doing a good job of stretching. Haha, after two weeks, the bruise has definitely gone away! However, the bandage on the incision area irritated the skin and turned brown... They say this will disappear over time if you moisturize well!
Objectively speaking, the difference after the surgery is not dramatic because I have a lot of muscle, but I don't like arms that are too skinny in the first place, so I'm really satisfied!! Due to the nature of compression clothing, there is not much pressure on the armpits, so there are some bulges, but I can see them shrinking with regular stretching! Until the 7th day, there was a fingernail-sized bone on the left side of the floating room, but now it is gone.
The size has decreased by 3.5 cm from 28.5 cm to 25 cm.
* Photos are before surgery, on the 9th day, and on the 23rd day.
* Tip: The adhesive part of the bandage at the hospital. They advise you to make it as small as possible, but it may not be fixed well. And the adhesive on the bandage is too sticky and very irritating. So, I left only the gauze part in the center of the bandage and attached it with paper tape sold at the pharmacy! You have to remove the tape every morning, but if you tear it off, it can cause damage. If you slightly moisten it with a wet tissue to loosen the adhesive, you can remove it with less pain!
Thank you for telling me how to care for the incision area to reduce discoloration. I also received consultations from two places, Roble Avenue and Byone, and now I have to make a decision, but I'm a little scared so I'm reading the reviews diligently.
