It’s been one month since I had surgery on my arms, axillary (side breast) area, abdomen, and love handles with Dr. Joongjae Baek.

Now that a month has passed, I can clearly see the improved lines, and there’s no discomfort in my daily life.

Compared to the first and second weeks, the swelling has gone down a lot, and the slimmed-down result is noticeable! It already looks great, but they say the final line will appear around three months, so I’m excited to see how it continues to change.

There’s no pain now — just some stiffness, which actually feels refreshing, so I’ve been doing stretches regularly.

Initially, there was some unevenness and bruising around my belly button, but thanks to occasional self-massage with a home radio-frequency device, the bruising and any leftover adhesive have completely disappeared.

Now, when I sit with pants on, my abdomen doesn’t feel tight at all, and clothes that didn’t fit before can be worn again — which I love!

Clothes that used to be tight around my belly now fall naturally over my hips.

My arms are slimmer too, so I can wear sleeveless tops without feeling self-conscious, which feels amazing.

The scars are minimal from the small incisions, and they’re still faint now, so in a few months, they’ll probably be barely noticeable.

Until now, I had been using recovery as an excuse to eat freely, haha. But now that I can move comfortably, I plan to manage my body properly with diet and exercise!
