Now that about nine months have passed, I’ve just gotten used to it, so there are times when I can’t really recall how I used to look. In the beginning, I saw changes as the swelling went down, but now I feel a greater sense of overall balance. I used to be particularly self-conscious about my sides, but now the line from my waist to my hips feels less disconnected, so I can really feel the difference when viewed from the side or back. Whether looking in the mirror or taking photos, I feel more comfortable just looking natural rather than worrying about specific areas like I used to. My hips also don't stand out excessively and feel like they flow seamlessly with the overall line, so I worry less when choosing clothes now. 😊
