Post-surgery

After surgery and 2nd day

The nurse bandaged my thighs with a lot of crepe bandage, making it impossible to even bend my knees.

Ard 9.30am, finally the phone rang! Time for massage!


Absorbent pads (i know look like used sanitary pads, haha) with large volume of drainage.

The second I was bed-ridden...felt lethargic and can't move around freely. What I did was simply eat-watch dvd-sleep-eat-watch dvd-sleep. hahaa...


DVDs available in the clinic


And some magazines in the drawer

And I remember there is a lot of medication to be taken each day. One big packet.


Medicine to be taken

On the 3rd day

The nurse finally decide to remove the bandages and I wanted to go out to Sun Plaza to wash (cos a number of blogger mentioned that can find saloon there). I was told that we can't go to Sun Plaza that day don't know for what reason. So the nurse told the driver to bring me to Abeng (it's pronouced as "ah-ben" and not singaporean style "ah-beng") which is very very near the clinic, like within a few houses!


At Abeng, it only cost IDR40,000 (less than SGD5?) per wash. However, if you are picky, I recommend you bring your own shampoo to the Saloon. The shampoo is damn dry, make my hair tangled. If you able to walk on the 2nd day, maybe you can also ask the driver to bring you to Abeng?

Surgery day

Arrived at the clinic at around 9am after a long journey from airport.

Was greeted by the receptionist and told to fill in a form.

The maid passed me the key to my room and show me around the house. I was brought to my room,






Pictures of the guest room

Asked to take some medication (which consist of anti-biotics and painkiller),


Took a shower and change into the green color gown (or tube dress) before heading down for my body test (measure your fats etc).

I was told to rest in the consultation room and wait for Dr Arthur. Nothing to do in the consultation room and I don't know Zzz how many times. The consultation was quite standard, consist of where I want fats to be removed, complications, his style of approaching liposuction works etc. Dr told me that the maximum amount of fats he can remove each time is 3 litres and the total fats in my thunder thighs are definitely more than 3 litres. That means I may have to come back again if I want a super model thighs. But I not so ambitious, as long as it's slimmer then I will be very happy.

After the consultation, Dr insert this tap on to my left hand (ok, I know it's called IV Drip).


Then Dr asked me to go back to my room for my lunch cos he know that the surgery to remove 3 litres of fats is going to take at least 3 to 4 hours.

After lunch, received a call to go down and make payments for the surgery. After that, the surgery starts! Seriously I could not remember what happened after Dr told me that he is going to inject some LA into my thighs.


Thighs before lipo


Left thigh lipo-ed. Dr woke me up and asked me to take a look at my lipo-ed left thigh. It's really much much smaller than my right thigh right?

I seriously don't know what happened during the surgery, I also don't know secret did I shared with the Dr and nurses. haha... But I rmb Dr asked me to come back after CNY to lipo my right thigh, I immediately told him "NO, I don't want to come back again". Then he asked me to buy him Ice cream etc and he continue to lipo my right thighs.


Both thighs done (:


3 litre of fats removed. The nurses even asked me if I want to bring my fats home. lol.

My thighs are swollen now. I can't wait for my thighs to heal completely.
