Btw I did arms and thighs liposuction.
FIRST DAY
So
I had it and the first day was so damn awful. After the surgery it was
SOOOOO cold but it is okay.. it lasted just a few minutes or so or I wasn't
fully awake? I don't know.. haha..
Anyways.. I went home with a
taxi and felt great.. Maybe the anesthesia was still there... So, I took
my dog out for a 5 minute potty walk (that is right this happened 1 hour
after the surgery is done) lol.. I feel bad for my dog as it was a shorter
walk than usual. but at least she relieved herself.. So, I went back
home, I ate something as I didn't have anything the whole day. I took
the medicine and I went to sleep. I woke up 2 hours later with piercing
pain on my thighs.. omg..... I wanted to cry I actually screamed in pain
and my dog was panicking as she didn't know what to do.. The pain subsided in 5 minutes or
so... I was like wth??? What is going on...
Oh I forgot
to tell you I had to sleep on my dog's pee pads (she doesn't use it
anymore lol and I had left over I am glad I didn't get rid of them)
Because the liquid has to drain out of the wounds for 1-2 nights or so.
For me it drained the whole night, then my right outer armpit drains in
the morning then it finished draining. The smell wasn't that bad... But
the fact that I slept on the wet liquid... ew... (I'm sorry)
2nd-5th day
I
had to go to work 1 day post op and I walked like a snail.. Damn slow..
I took elevator up and down but still took the stairs when the ajumma
left me behind. It was.. a tolerable pain.. it was more like a
discomfort. (You know the type when you accidentally hit your arm on the
table corner and have a blue bruise?) That kind of pain except it's all
over your thigh and arms. lol.
Anyway, day 3 the pain
got better and I could still go anywhere and do activities just slower
than usual. So was day 4 and today I felt so much better.
The pain subsides when I took the pain killer (durr...)
Day 5 is the last day I took pain killer and antibiotics and so far I felt a lot better than the first 3 days. I'm the type that swells and bruises forever. Longer than normal people so I have to be patient in this recovery.
I almost forgot to tell you guys that I could definitely shower even 1 day after surgery but I tried to be careful as I removed the regular tape and changed to waterproof tapes for all the stitch areas. There are 8 of them in my case and yes it took a long time. After shower you have to change back to regular tape otherwise your wound can't breathe. They warned me not to put waterproof tape on too long. You can also buy the sterilization medicine? Something like bethadine in the pharmacy it is called "sodok yak" it is not painful but I felt just a little burning sensation when I used it on some of the wounds but not all. it's not bad.
Beware of people who has thin skin koz putting the tape on the same place over and over can damage your skin. I tried not to change my tape daily which is disgusting but I rather be disgusting than damaging my skin.
Please stay tune for more information about my liposuction journey! ;)
