It has been 6 months since my liposuction surgery with Girin Plastic Surgery and Dr Park Deok Joon.
I had a total of 1900ml taken from my stomach and 1200ml taken from my arms and face. I went to Girin Plastic Surgery because I was finding it hard to lose weight due to genetics.
After 1 month my swelling went down, and after 3 months I started to see my shape. Now after 6 months my body looks more contoured, especially my stomach and hips. I have a beautiful hourglass body which I didn't have before.
The biggest advice i will give is you must must must eat healthily after your surgery. I was walking daily and drinking lots of water. I cut out all sugar from my diet and only ate healthy food. However after 3 months I started eating unhealthy again and I saw my weight was increasing. Now I am starting to eat more healthy again so that I can keep my beautiful new body.
I used silicone gel for my scars. I still have some visible scars but they are getting lighter over time. The doctor advised that the scars on the back can take a few years to disappear. The one on my chin disappeared after 3 months.
After my surgery I massaged my arms and stomach which helped with swelling and lumps. I regularly exercise now to help me keep my new shape.
I am very glad I chose Girin Plastic Surgery. The doctors, nurses and staff have all been helpful every step of the way. I do not speak Korean so I had a translator along the way. If you have any concerns or questions, please ask them. This is an important surgery so you must feel confident before going ahead. I reached out to 3 different clinics but had the best and most transparent response from Girin. I did not feel pressured when booking with them. They gave me time to think about my decision whereas the other clinic kept pressuring and messaging me about the surgery.
A huge thank you to Dr Park Deok Joon, Monica, Anisa, Alissa and all the nurses. I have already recommended the clinic to my friends
