Thingh Lipo in Seoul Review

WORTH IT
To proceed lipo – was the last method of getting rid of fat in my list. I tried to exercise but breasts were the only thing that I lost eventually. I tried out pretty much everything, even yoga, oriental medicine, herbal treatments and different anti-cellulite creams but nothing worked for me.
I was tired of saddlebags or excess fat around my thighs. I always tried to cover my legs with long skirts or in pants/jeans but nothing skinny fit as my fatty legs became obvious.
I started to search for a good place to proceed my lipo and found out about Banobagi. They were offering a complimentary consultation and I also planned my trip to Seoul at that time so I saw it as a great opportunity and decided to go for it.
I contacted them via whatsapp before my actual consultation, they advised regarding the price and right procedure. When I arrived in Seoul I had a consultation with Dr. Barn. We discussed what I want to be done and where while he pointed out my real problem areas.
Although, the surgery itself was quite simple the consultation process was pretty time-consuming as I had to discuss all questions. Since I was under general anesthesia I started fasting about 8 hours before the surgery, couldn’t even drink water. It lasted for about little more than 1.5hr and once I woke up, everything was already over. My legs were sore and every movement was somewhat painful, so the rest of the day I just stayed in my bed. On day 2 I was so impatient to take a look at my legs so I took off the bandage. I had a lot of bruising on my legs. The total number on incisions was 8 and since any contact with water could result in an infection I also bought a special waterproof bandage in a pharmacy and wore it up to 1 week when all stitches were removed.
On week 1 bruising as well as swelling was wild, every movement reflected in legs. On week 2 swelling became even worse. I’ve heard that recovery after lipo usually takes about 3 weeks, well everything is very individual and me it took a bit longer. By month 2 I felt much better and now I can finally wear skinny fit jeans or sort skirts and shorts with confidence. My legs look as I wanted and they also look a bit longer than before lol.
It’s been 8 months already and the result is still amazing. Liposuction is a procedure that should be supported with continuous exercising but I think it definitely worth it!

Hello! I'm having a BBL and my doctor was to take fat from my inner thighs. However, i've heard this is a risky area to lipo due to a high risk of dimpling and irregularities in the skin. Did this happen to you? Or did you heal smoothly?

What was the cost to do your legs?
