I took SinEcch for my Lipo surgery in Nov 2010.
It helped me alot to de-swell and bruises were gone after 3rd -4th day.
Does it cause more bleeding during the surgery??
No leh... I took the 1st one before my surgery (as instructed in the box) and the 2nd one 1 day after my surgery, which supposely to take it straight after my surgery. That was becos I left the SinEcch in the hotel and did not bring along with me when I went for my op.
I stayed in the clinic/hospital (BKK) for 1 night, so can only take it after I returned to the hotel the next day.
Here is my summary of post op care. we need to mange our expectations post op. That is very important. Climbing to the top of the mountain is only half the battle. We must make it down the mountain safely, that is when our mission to aesthetics perfection is complete, and then we can prepare for the next mountain to climb.
I wrote this as this is for me to remind myself that I will have feelings of sadness post-operatively, and this is normal. I realize that this does not happen to all people but the few that it does happen to may include me. I know that I need to be patient and think positive as it promotes better healing and relaxation. I know that I need to wait out my healing period before I pass judgment and follow my surgeon's instructions to increase my chances of a great result. I do know that stress and anxiety can only make matters worse and I will try my best to not let it affect me.
I will be:
sore
tired
irritable
unsure
possibly depressed
bloated
bored
anxious
restless
unable to sleep at times
During my recovery treatment area may:
be asymmetrical
be crooked
be bruised
be tender to the touch
experience sharp pains or numbness
be firm or hard
break out with acne
experience irritation from the tape or anesthetic
I also realize that even the daily subtle changes or flaws that I may see in the mirror may not be visible to others as I am my own worst critic. I do realize once I heal my changes can be seen with the help of before and after photos and if I do not like the end result after I am healed many months from now I can always approach my surgeon regarding my dissatisfaction.
I know must not take out my insecurities or anger on my significant other, family or friends but I sometimes cannot help it and need to vent my frustration or sadness. I know I need to keep my chin up and let my body and mind heal because surgery is invasive and can trigger many emotions. I know that I can always get support from my loved ones and friends, be they "in the flesh" or online.
I know this state of disarray and being unsure is only temporary. Today I will smile and remain patient because tomorrow will be another day and will bring me one day closer to being fully healed.
I wish all forummers a speedy and healthy recovery.
