FULL BODY LIPOSUCTION - REVIEW (4 months)

Hi everyone, I'm a little early for my 1 year update (June 2020) but I think it's close enough I guess this experience has taught me a lot. So here we go!

Starting Weight: 164lbs
After First Surgery: 158lbs
After Second Surgery: 154lbs
A month after second surgery: 155lbs
Current Weight: 145lbs

Existing problems post-lipo:
1) Inner thigh fat lump (one side)
2) Upper abdomen fat fold
3) Lower abdomen uneven scarring
4) Overall incision scars
5) Arm fat (one side)

The inner thigh fat I mentioned before is unfortunately still there. And it bothered me so much that I actually went to see two local PS surgeons. I also went to a medspa doctor because I was considering non-invasive solutions too. Both surgeons said my abdomen was done a bit too aggressively and unevenly - hence some of the scarring when I stretch out and the extra fat left over on my upper abdomen. My inner thigh - both said the doctor missed that spot. Both agreed my butt/hip was done well, arms were done well. Both said more fat could have been taken out in my flanks for a more accentuated waist. Both said that the incisions could have been made in more discreet places.

My two cents:
With clothes on, I love my body shape - it's curvy and clothes fit the way I like. Clothes off, I feel a bit insecure because of all the unevenness and incision scars that's left behind. I'm considering non-invasive procedures for remaining problem areas. Incision scars on my arms have pretty much faded, abdomen is starting to lighten, but butt scars are still very dark.

I wish I had taken my time and put in the work to lose some weight before I got my surgery. I figured that they can give me the body shape I wanted first, then I can continue to lose weight after surgery and just keep that shape. But I guess I didn't think about how weight comes off (or gains) at different rates all over your body.

I definitely think I would still do this again but with the knowledge I have now, I would have done some things differently:

1) Be at a weight you're comfortable at - this way, you see exactly where your problem areas are and can target those areas only. Plus you'll have a diet/exercise routine in place that already is sustainable and works for you. And you don't have to go through large volume - which is more at high risk for irregularities.

2) Consider the incision scars and how you would feel about their locations if they never fade. If you're not okay with the incision locations, talk to more doctors and understand their methods.

3) I live in a big city with amazing plastic surgeons (but expensive af!) so I wish I actually went to consultations with some local doctors, see what they recommended and how they would do it, and take those advice with me to Korea. Also, I was surprised at the cost when I went in for revision consultations... it wasn't as expensive as I thought. With the cost of flights, lodging, food, medication... I pretty much could have done the surgery at home without all the hassle...

4) All of the tips that I have mentioned in my earlier updates!

Overall, I'm happy, but I feel like I could be happier with a better job done maybe if I wasn't so persistent on doing everything in one go on one trip.
