It has already been 6 months since surgery. At first I hesitated a lot because people said liposuction side effects are serious, I worried about recovery, and I doubted whether I would get the change I wanted, but now that half a year has passed I can clearly feel that I am different from before. The scars have faded so much that unless I tell people myself, nobody notices at all. They are barely visible, so that put my mind at ease. I had liposuction on my arms, accessory breast tissue, abdomen, love handles, thighs and knees plus hip fat grafting, and since I can see how the lines of my thighs, sides and lower belly have been cleaned up, even the style of clothes I wear has changed. Before surgery I spent a lot of time trying this and that to lose weight and it stressed me out, so I think I should have just had the liposuction a little earlier. These days I really feel how important exercise is, because keeping the line the surgery created ultimately depends on lifestyle habits. So whenever I have the energy I try to move even a little. Exercise used to be simply a means to lose weight, but after surgery it feels like a process for keeping my body beautiful and healthy. It is interesting how my mindset changed, and I like that my thinking is different now. So sometimes I feel a bit sorry that I did not do it when I was even a year younger, but even so, finding the courage to have the surgery at this point in my life turned out to be the biggest gift I could give myself. When your body changes, your mindset changes too, and you naturally start wanting to take better care of yourself. If I keep managing myself and exercising, the line will settle in even more naturally and stably, right?
