Hmm, I chose to do my fat transfer at Fresh PS instead of implants because I really didn’t want to have an operation every 10 years or so to change my implants, and I wanted something more natural too.
When I did my first op, I was at 85cm (originally 79cm) but as my swelling subsided, it became 84cm and about a year and 2 months later, I hover around 83 - 84. Half a cup increase doesn’t look and feel like much, but it comforts me whenever I try on my old bra and it doesn’t fit
I think there’s pros and cons for each, so it’s really up to you as to which one you prioritise more!

Hi~ I don’t really know for my second round because I haven’t really asked, but I know for the first round, it was 210cc and 240cc (I think it was left and right respectively? Can’t remember the sides). My breasts sizes are a bit different, I think you can see from my pictures, so that’s why Doctor Hong injected different amounts of fats inside
-
Haha! I apologise for the loooong posts but I was so happy with my results that I thought I should share! When I was researching breast fat transfer, even on the Korean forums, there’s not that many people who did it since a lot of people opt for implants. I just hope to provide more insight!

Hi! I’ll do my best to answer your questions!
1. If you’re talking about downtime for breast, I would say none? I did have some trouble lifting my arms above my head for the first 3 - 4 days, but other than that, I would say most of your downtime/pain comes from the lipo site.
Thighs were horrible - I can’t remember the exact details but I remember it was extremely difficult to sit down and stand up after that. The blood rushing to your thighs made walking immediately after standing up to be tough, so if you work in an office, you may look a bit weird for the first 1 - 2 weeks.
Waist wasn’t so bad, which was my lipo site this time. I walked at a much slower pace for the first 4 days, after that it was a lot better. Standing up too wasn’t as bad as thighs, though I did have tightness but that really improved after day 4.
Crystallisation wise, nothing yet! It’s been 1 year and about 2 months? after my first op but I didn’t get any crystallisations. I’ll let you know maybe a year into my second op? Hahaha
2. For me, I didn’t really factor in anaesthetic.. which I guess now that you have mentioned it, I wonder why I didn’t lol. I think I was more focused on achieving the results that I wanted so I didn’t stop to consider the possible complications of not having an anaesthesiologist on site. Operation time-wise... I think I went in around 3 - 3.15pm, and when I woke up, it was around 5.50pm? The nurses did mentioned I had slept a lot though.
3. Cup size increase.. tbh, I actually stopped wearing normal bras after the operation. You’re not supposed to wear wired bras so I bought those bra camisoles that Uniqlo has, and it ended up being so comfortable that I continued with those. So in terms of feelings, I would say it’s half a cup increase per op. I went from 79cm to 83cm the first time, and after the second op, I’m staying consistent at 86cm.
4. Doctor Hong was my surgeon, but he’s the main guy there so he’s the one doing the ops! I think there’s another guy, but I’ve only seen him during my aesthetic sessions, like getting lasers for my scars because I was so paranoid that they will be permanent

Hi guys, I was actually active on the previous thread about the calf surgery and through recommendations on that thread, I did it with Dr. Park in 2009.
To give you the conclusion, I REGRETTED IT.
But I think it really depends on individuals so I think I should state my circumstances first. As natalie78 was saying, I didn't have calves, I had cows. Even my friends would drop comments on my calves - "wow they are so muscular", "one kick from you and I think I may literally die", "wow, you do have very large calves". I've tried to do the non-invasive surgery where they cut nerves? I think? that connects to your muscles and therefore, your calf muscles contracts and it becomes smaller. It did turn out really good, but as I'm a very sporty person so apparently, the nerves end up connecting again. Then I came across the thread and there was a girl there who did sports seriously too and she underwent the surgery. She said that she had recovered and she could continue playing sports, which was why I decided to do the surgery too.
At first, it was fine and my legs looked really good! I think it would have continued like this if I didn't play sports. However, like I said, I'm a very sporty person and after my recovery, about a year later, I started doing another sport seriously. And this is when my problems started.
For anyone who's interested in the surgery, (I actually forgot the terms) there is the outer layer and inner layer of calf muscle, and Dr. Park takes out the outer layer only. I think because I started working out, the inner muscle started to compensate for the lack of outer muscle and it became bulkier. I ended up with really weird muscles popping out in the middle of my calves, and my ankles became cankles because I guess overall, my calves needed to compensate for the lack of muscles so everywhere just started building itself up.
I think in general, if you don't work out, it will turn out well for you. But then again, the non-invasive turned out well too and with less the downtime, so I would really recommend that instead of excising your calf muscle out.
And I don't know if it's because of the surgery but I have calves that swell up really easily now. Apparently the blood circulation isn't good so it really balloons up at the end of the day. I didn't have this problem before so maybe someone else who did the surgery can also give an insight as to whether they have the same issue. -
Round 2
I originally wanted to do Round 2 in September 2019 but I had some vacations planned and I didn't want this to get in the way of my holidays. I finally got the date down to 30th April since there's a slew of public holidays in Korea that allows me to rest at home! (For the uninitiated, I'm a foreigner working in Korea.)
This time, I chose to take the fats from my tummy. I had actually gained about 6kg from my vacations and I'd managed to reduce about 3kg before I went for Round 2.
Anyway, this time, it was the same procedure as my previous post, except when I woke up, I wasn't shivering (maybe my body got used to it?
). I forgot to mention in my previous post that Fresh gives you a goodie bag filled with cold packs, gauze, and one bottle of powdered diet food after your surgery. So after I got home, I filled the bottle up with milk, downed it, and took my first pack of medicine. You can't really do anything on the day after your surgery because of the anaethesia. It just really fuzzes your brain up and I kept smelling it in my nose too, so it made me gagged a little. The best way is just to sleep and Day 0 is gone just like that.
Again, your breasts don't hurt at all; I would say all the pain comes from the lipo-ed area, in this round, my tummy. I couldn't really bend too so you really pick up the art of picking things off the floor with your feet very fast You're supposed to remove the gauze and tape on your breasts and lipo area the next day and I was amazed by two things -
1. My torso looked like it elongated after the surgery! I honestly thought either there was something wrong with my eyes, or something wrong happened during the surgery, but later I found out that it's because my crotch area swelled up too so it just looks longer than usual.
2. My breasts are 88cm now! And judging by previous experience, I know it will only go down by 1 - 2cm so I really can't wait for the final results
https://www.flickr.com/gp/164389179@N02/7XYoQ8
That's about it and I'm on Day 4 now (with the day of the surgery counting as day 0). I don't see much bruising on my tummy like my thighs, though there are a couple of things where it's a bit uncomfortable:
- walking (feels like you went through 1000 sit ups the previous day so your stomach muscles hurt with every step)
- sitting (I get so paranoid about creases so I'm always checking my pressure garment and making sure there's 0 creases BUT it's impossible for the part where your lower stomach and upper thigh meets so I keep wondering if it will have any impact on the outcome)
I started work today and it's really difficult to check your pressure garment without your coworkers looking at you (I work in an open office). I basically walk at half my normal speed now so I'm using the excuse that I've been working out too much the past few days.
I think overall, I'm really satisfied with my experience at Fresh and I have gained a lot of confidence after my first round, so much so that I finally wore my first bikini during my vacation! I don't think I'll be going for Round 3... I think?
For those who are planning on doing this, I do have a couple of advice:
1. Buy the pills before the surgery.
The first time I did the surgery, I bought it after; this time, I went in about 30 minutes earlier than scheduled so they sent me to buy the pills at a nearby pharmacy. I realised that buying the pills before is so much better because after the surgery, you just want to go back home and rest instead of heading to a pharmacy.
2. Buy 3 boxes of waterproof band-aids
The brand the pharmacy beside Fresh carries is really good! Water rarely gets inside! I tried to find it at other pharmacies near my place but unfortunately, none carried it. For some reason, the other brands weren't as good so water got into the band-aid really often when I took a shower.
3. Do it right after your period
I was lucky the first time - I'd managed to schedule my surgery the week after my period ended. This time, I'd scheduled it right before my period so today, on Day 4, my period started. I have massive cramps so it's a double whammy, and not only that, everything feels double the trouble so I would really advise everyone to do the surgery right after your period.
That's it and I hope I didn't leave anything out! For anyone who's curious, please leave your questions and I'll be happy to answer them! -
I actually lost my original ID and made a new one, which I'd used to post a while back ago saying I got my first procedure done at Fresh PS. Then I promptly forgot my new ID and found my old one, so in summary, I did my first round of breast fat transfer at Fresh PS early last year and I've just done my second round! I will write everything in details below and hopefully help those who need someone who went through this
Background
Basically I've been a bit conscious about my chest since my high school days.. and I'm already in my 30s now! I've thought about implants but I really didn't want something foreign in my body, and after reading that you have to change them every 10 years, I decided against it. Back then, fat grafting was still a bit new and everyone was talking about calcification so I decided against it too. Then breast injection came about and I was really excited but then you have to top up anyway so I ended up not doing that (please note all these were research that I did during high school and my 20s.)
Then a few years ago, I read that in Japan and Korea, they were adding stem cells and/or PRP to fat grafting so the risks were lower, and thus I started trolling Korean forums (they call them "cafe").
Even then, I was scared of surgery (who isn't!) so I kept putting things off until last year when I finally decided to take the plunge. Through the Korean forum, I talked to a couple of girls after seeing their before/after pictures because even though fat grafting has supposedly natural results, I've seen some really unnatural pictures on those forums!
Deciding on Fresh
I narrowed my selection to three girls with really natural results and I called up those three clinics for consultations. One clinic was trying to charge me almost 10 million KRW after I asked to include stem-cell with harvest-jet -_- And I mean, if you're gonna do fat transfer, you NEED stem-cell if you want the fat survival rate to be over 80%. I found the other clinic to be good cost-wise but for some reason, the doctor said they have to cut at the armpits to insert the fats in. I didn't want the scar there and have people think I did implants so I had to cut that clinic out too. I ended up deciding on Fresh because,
1. The scar is just a tiny dot at the side of your breast!!! -> This was the biggest draw for me
2. Prices were reasonable (I paid about 4 million KRW with stem cell, PRP, garment, and VAT. This also includes one post-op therapy)
3. The clinic itself specialises in removing calcifications for girls who had a failed procedure at other clinics.
4. The girl whom I talked to on the forum had really, really natural results anyway!
However, I would like to add here that this procedure is really not for everyone. The biggest irony about fat transfer is, you need some fats in your breasts already for this procedure to work well. I wasn't big but I had some so I was considered an ideal candidate. Con number two (I guess this would be considered a con?) is you need to be realistic about the outcome. Fat transfer doesn't go boom, A - C, like that. Because it's all natural, it can only help you increase half a cup to maximum one cup size.
Procedure
For me, the most important thing was natural results without something foreign inside me, and so in early 2019, I took the plunge and did it! Doctor Hong took the fats from my thighs (in fact, he was marvelling at how much fats I have and how good it will be for my breasts. I had a very mixed feeling at that point of time haha).
The procedure itself goes something like this: You go in on the day of the surgery and they take pictures of you. The manager sat me down and ran me through a whole list on a paper (which she gave me later) telling me what to do after my surgery. They brought me to a room to change and Doctor Hong came in to mark the body parts. The nurse took my blood for the PRP and hooked me on the IV drip. Then I was brought into the surgery room, bathed in alcohol from shoulder down, got up the surgery table, and once they had administered the anaethesia, I was gone.
Post Op
I remember waking up shivering from the post effects of anaesthesia. I didn’t feel anything for my breasts but my thighs felt like I had done some workout so they were aching. The nurses helped me into the pressure garment and I took a cab home after that.
You need to wait 2 weeks before they take off your stitches and that was a looooong two weeks of my life. Each time I took a shower, I had to place waterproof band-aids over my stitches. Even then, water sometimes manage to seep in so I needed to use a hairdryer each time to dry them. My breasts were fine, no pain, nothing, but my thighs.. oh my god my thighs. They swelled and they bruised so much and so long. I remember the lumps on my inner thighs were the worst. Apparently, if you do lipo on inner areas such as armpits, inner thighs etc., the skin forms significant lumps. For the lucky ones, it goes away after a month or two, but for me, I think it took almost 6 months. The bruising took even longer to dissipate, even though I went for regular post op care. I work at an office too so I sit down a lot and honestly, I wish someone told me about this but it is VERY hard to get up after sitting down! The blood rushes into your thighs and you actually need a moment before you can walk. And you’re not even walking for the first few seconds, you are waddling. It does get better over the weeks but I honestly hated those early days.
Anyway, for the post op care, they use radiofrequency treatment to break down the lumps/fats/bruises, so for the first month, they recommend that you come in twice a week. After that, once a week and later, once a month. As I had mentioned earlier, the first post op care is complimentary and after that, it’s about 200,000++KRW for a package of 5+1 sessions.
As for my breasts, it was around 79cm before surgery and right after surgery, it was 85cm. After the swelling went down, it stayed consistent around 83cm – 84cm.

(I was wearing a push up bra underneath the black camisole to get more oomph, but no bra underneath that white one!)
Tbh, I thought I would be satisfied once I hit a C (albeit a small C), but I guess humans are all greedy? So about a month post op, I knew that I would go for round 2. Second round is cheaper – harvest-jet itself is 1.5 million KRW, so after throwing in PRP and stem-cell, I paid 2.85 million KRW with tax. It is recommended about 4 - 5 months after your first operation.
A lot of people worry about fat survival and ask me about it, but from my experience, I can say that your breasts don’t go back to their original size. I decided to do Round 2 on 30th April, and when I measured my breasts before the surgery, they were at 83.5cm (so about 1 year and 3 months later?). I guess unless you decided to go on a -10kg diet or something, the only thing that affects your breasts would be the hormones before and after your period.
As for Round 2, I'll be posting details after this post! -
Julie88, don't do that procedure at Alaxis. I was living in Singapore a couple of years ago and did it, but it had absolutely NO effect on my muscles. It didn't shrink at all! Even the doctor was so surprised and he redid the surgery a couple of times, but always the same results.
What that procedure does is to, uhm, you know when you tiptoe and you can see the strong shape of the calf muscles? That procedure just makes that disappear, so the line of your legs appear smoother. It does not reduce the circumference of your calves. I wasted a 2.5k to learn that lesson.
I don't have any pictures to show you guys, but I can give a detailed description of my results.
While both my calves were huge, my right leg was worse than my left cos the muscle itself begins in the middle of my calf. Normal calf muscles usually begin about the top 1/3 of your calf. What happens is, Dr. Park will only touch the top 1/3 of your calf, so while my left leg turned out GORGEOUS, my right leg still has a slight bulge in the middle.
Still, overall, I would say I'M GLAD I DID THE SURGERY!!! I've started wearing skirts and even knee-length pants! I would recommend you girls to do the surgery too! Just make sure you have someone supportive beside you during the recovery process cos the stretching hurts like crazy then!
BTW, for those who did the surgery, do you stockings have lots of holes in them??? I don't know if it's just me... I seem to be wearing my stockings out pretty fast! There are so many holes in it!! -
It's fluctuating between 31.5~32.5! I really want it to go below 32! T_T I was 35cm anyway. The scars are mostly gone, actually! My right leg has a slightly darker shade than the rest of my skin colour, but I guess it isn't that obvious.
Why mid-march?? To wear short skirts? Haha -
I did lose weight! Like about 2 kg? Actually, after the operation and till the day Dr. Park aspirated my leg, I didn't have that good an appetite. Maybe because of the pain? So I guess that helped too, but I'm sure losing all those unwanted muscles helped the most!
HAHA well, I guess if you are in Korea, you can probably use those 100,000 cheques. That would be a lot better than a suitcase of 10,000! Anyway, if you are paying in cash, I'm pretty sure you can bargain it down to 6 million!
Seriously, just do it before summer comes! To be honest, I kinda regretted doing the surgery when it got reeaaaalllyyy painful stretching/walking, but now, I'm really glad I did it. I'm even wearing boots that end in the middle of my calves now, and the best thing is, I'm confident wearing them! I even catch myself looking at my legs every time I walk by a mirror! Anyway, it's not really that scary. I did it alone, and went through the recovery process without anyone supporting me, so I'm sure you can do it too!
-
well, i'm 6 weeks post op! i'm a greedy person, so i'm actually not thaaaat satisfied with my legs yet! anyway i think you should ask him why, cuz i did it too! btw, the first compression stocking he gives you is free, but you have to get another one cuz you'll be wearing them 24/7! you can't always wear the same pair! wash one, wear one, and switch. i had to get skin tapes from him too, so extra stockings+skin tapes = 78,000 won
-
Hi nyckitty and happymeow,
yeah it kinda died down so i didn't check the forum often! anyway i paid 6 million won for the surgery because i stupidly did the nerve ablation surgery a few years back (waste of my money!). anyway, i'm actually living in korea so i don't think i'm the right person to answer about accommodation/food. Are you coming alone or with a buddy? If you are coming alone, I actually wouldn't mind offering my place to you, if you don't mind staying with me that is if you wanna save some money! if you choose to stay at the hotel dr park recommends, i don't think 1000's gonna last for 14 days. hotel would cost you 840 for 2 weeks, and if you order takeout/eat out every day, i seriously doubt it. you still have to set aside some money for your extra pair of stockings!
anyway, my calves are down from 35cm to 32cm! it doesn't sound like a big difference, but it is obvious! like it looks a lot better. i'm actually hoping it'll shrink more ^^;;
xiaowudi123, i did the nerve ablation surgery before, and i DO NOT recommend it. Unless your girlfriend has a generally thin calf with just some bulging at the top, tell her no. what nerve ablation surgery does is to smoothe out the bulge, that's all. it does NOT decrease the size of your calves. trust me, i threw $2500 down the drain for that. in terms of safety, i would say it's probably 90% safe. the only advantages of the nerve surgery are quick recovery and its cheap pricetag. -
Unfortunately, I'm not staying at a hotel! I'm living at my own place... don't have that many pillows and if I buy 5 pillows now, where am I going to put them later?? Hahaha but you know what? I tried stuffing my extra blankets around my sides and it really works! I felt better after that... I would definitely go out and buy those pillows if I know where to put them later! Haha
Anyway I did my aspiration yesterday and I'm going back again this Saturday for more aspiration! I have A LOT of bruising on my tendons, so Dr. Park told me to wrap a warm towel over them often, and massage them from time to time. He massaged it for me and I was like AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! He has superhuman might, I tell you. I decided to take the subway home instead of taking a cab, and I think the more I walk, the better I feel, though I'm not too sure if I wanna walk that much cox my feet are swelling a lot.
I went to work today too. Took the subway for an hour, walk, taught for 2 hours, walk, took the subway again and walk more. It did feel uncomfortable standing for like 20 minutes, but now, I don't get sharp pains when I walk anymore, though I'm still walking kinda slow. I wonder when can I walk normally.. -
Gosh, sleeping with my legs elevated is sooooo uncomfortable! I woke up around 3 plus and it's nearing 5 now! I'm still not able to sleep! My ass hurts from sleeping on it
I usually sleep on my side, all curled up, so this is a very uncomfortable sleeping position. I can't believe I have to endure this for a few months!
OMG
that sounds painful! Were you able to walk immediately after the aspiration or was it still awkward and swollen like just a little? I feel that when I walk now, I kind of waddle like a duck haha
I'm doing International Studies right now (only English course in Korea universities anyway) but when I go back Canada, I plan to do International Relations. I hope most of my credits get transferred over! Hmm, I heard that it is a little difficult trying to get a full-time job in Seoul... Usually the vacancies are in the outskirts of Seoul or further away. Have you tried looking at Seoul Craigslist? Under Job, Education, you should be able to find something If you're American/Canadian, it'll be a lot easier for you They usually prefer North Americans. Yeah, Korean's easy that way. As long as you get the alphabets nailed down, you can read everything! I assume you're living in North America, since you mentioned you transited in Dubai... but seriously, karaoke is so expensive there! When you get here, you'll be crashing the karaoke places all the time!
How bad is your swelling now? I'm hoping to resume my normal life, walking around and stuff, but after Dr. Park said that if I walk too much I'll get swelling, I'm kinda reserved about that now.... -
I'm doing the aspiration this Wednesday! I can't wait~~~
How does he do the aspiration? Could you explain in details?
Wow are you a university graduate then? I've always thought that everyone here would be in their teens or early 20s or something... Anyway, how much of Korean can you speak? Are you learning it in a language center?
Oh yeah, are you still swelling? How bad is the swelling? I asked Dr. Park today and he said that even after aspiration, it can still swell if I walk around too much. He recommended me to elevate my legs for 1 month, but he said it would be good if I do it for 2 - 3 months! Are you still elevating your leg? -
Yeah... even Dr. Park was saying that stretch while you can cox it will get worse. It feels like I'm paying for all the good days!
I am elevating my legs! You mean my swelling isn't normal? I'd better check with Dr. Park tomorrow. I wonder if he will do the aspiration for me if I ask. I saw the disproportion of muscles before! When the nurse removed the foam, my legs were soooo distorted!:lolots: I laughed when I saw it!
Yeah, gyopo is right. My Korean isn't that good, but I understand more than I speak it, so with my boyfriend, he usually speaks in Korean and I answer in English I actually think Korean is a lot easier than Chinese and Japanese! I learnt those two languages too, but I find Korean the easiest! Chinese is a horror.. gosh, every word is different! Are you gonna come back Korea to work as a full-time teacher?
Gosh, I hope I will be able to do that in 2-3 weeks time! My boyfriend's coming out of army soon for a holiday, and I wanna be able to go out on dates with him then! -
OMG the stretches are a pain in the ass now!!!
It started getting a little bad yesterday, but this morning was hell!!! I had to force my belly to the wall and that took me like 15 seconds! My calves are so swollen now that I can't even put my 2 hands together around it :cry: Makes me feel like I've gotten fatter haha At least I know it's because of the swelling! I'm going back to OZ tomorrow, so hopefully things will get better...
Anyway, I'm actually a university student here in Korea.. decided to do 2 years here before going back to Canada! I'm an overseas korean, so that's why I can take up jobs like teaching English and all, or else it'll be illegal! Those are more like tuition jobs, so it doesn't take up that much of my time. Thank god it's the holidays now so I don't have to go to school!
I'm not too sure if I should remove the bandages cox it's taped? I was thinking if I untape it and tape it back too many times, it will just fall apart.
Are you still experiencing difficulties in walking? You are about 2-3 weeks into your post-op right? -
Pichia, you did the aspiration and the swelling went down, but it's swelling again now?? I hope I get to see my really thin calves after the aspiration! I got the foam removed today, and they wrapped new bandages around my calves so I guess I can't bathe properly for a few more days ㅠㅠ My bathing position is kind of like an L, if you can picture that! So I'm sitting down with my legs straight in front of me haha I told Dr. Park today that I showered and he laughed
Anyway, Dr. Park said he couldn't remember exactly how much muscles he removed from me, but he said it's about 400 - 500g. I don't know if you guys stayed in Korea long enough to go to a Korean meat restaurant, but he said it's like the portion of 2 person's worth of meat that people order hahahaha what a strange way to express it! Before the operation, I even asked him if he would set aside some of my muscles to let me take a look at them and he was like, why?!?!?!!!!
Dr. Park was pretty amazed at my recovery speed too.. He even asked if I was really flexible to start with (even Amy asked me if I did Yoga) but I'm about as flexible as a block of wood to start with so I have no idea why the stretches are easy to me. Things are going too well that it's strange! It's the end of my 4th day soon, so I really really hope I get the spasms! Hahaha I hate the squats! I only do them for 30 seconds! Dr Park didn't specify how long I have to squat for anyway
Oh yeah, do post up pictures of your pre-op and post-op results! -
Haha both of you chose black and beige! I think I'm gonna go with 2 black! I'm looking forward to wearing the bandages actually... seems more like an upgrade from bandages! Anyway, I'm actually really hoping I'll get the spasms because it seems that everyone who gets it has a better result! How long has it been since you did the surgery? I can't believe you're still stretching!
-
I actually showered yesterday! I'm the kind of girl who needs her daily shower or my hair gets really gross! Anyway I bought 2 stools before the operation - one for me to sit on it, the other for my legs, and I wash only the upper half of my body haha Anyway, the yellow stuff actually made me choke! I was coughing badly cox of the smell and the anaesthecian asked me if I caught a cold
Anyway, about the stretching exercise, Amy taught me to do squats in addition to making my belly touch the wall! The squats are so strange cox I've never heard anyone talking about that in forums! I feel that the squats kind of push all the swelling down to my foot too... or is it just my imagination? haha anyway, my recovery process is going too well that I'm actually kind of scared! People usually complain about how painful it was and everything, so I'm worried that my calves wouldn't shrink as much ㅠㅠ I'd better go check with Dr. Park tomorrow about how many grams of muscle he removed! How much did he remove from yours? My calf circumference was about 35 I think.. my right calf was slightly bigger than my left.
I have numbness in my left foot! I hope it disappears with time... About the stockings, I think I'm going to choose black! hahaha what colour did you all choose?? -
Loveliy, I think a month is more than enough rest! You should get it done then~ I'm actually doing it without any of my family/friends knowing about it. My boyfriend will absolutely kill me if he finds out about it and I'm meeting him in a month's time! So I think 1 month is more than enough to recover?
Pichia, I just came back from OZ! I had an overnight stay there! Guess what? I talked to Amy last night and she was saying that you had a very bright and charming character! She said you looked pretty too! Haha~ Anyway, my feet's all swollen nowㅠㅠ but amazingly, the stretching isn't painful! I thought it would bring tears to my eyes kinda pain, but I was able to do it pretty easily~ so yeah, like what kok79 said, everyone has different recovery rate. I could walk to the bathroom by myself and all!
Anyway, thanks for letting me know about the size of the calves after the surgery. I've been staring at them and wondering why they are still the same size! Or bigger! I even asked Dr. Park if he removed a lot of muscles just to confirm that I really did do the surgery! Hahaha Oh and my toes stilll have that icky brownish/yellowish stain from the surgery. I wonder when it will fade off!
Still, I can't believe I did the surgery! Woooohoooo~~ I'm checking back in OZ on Thursday to remove my bandages and I'm diligently doing my stretching exercises every 30 mins haha -
If you are in Grade 12, I would suggest you do it after your exams... cox you will be out for a while, and don't you need to go school?
In any case, I don't think the meds will affect you! -
Aww, I will tell him that tomorrow!
Wow, a 19 hour flight? I'm guessing you live in North America? Anyway, I'm a little worried about the swelling too, so I'm actually planning to confine myself to my bed and elevate my legs all day! And of course, only leaving the bed every 30 mins for that stretching exercise! Are the exercises that weird?! Cox some of my classes are like 2 hours straight, so I really think I need to do some stretching here and then!
Anyway, I'm soooo excited cox today's the last day my ugly calves will get to see this world! Yay!! I can't believe this is happening to me!

That's strange! Why did Dr Park do aspiration for you again??
Gosh, the exercises sound sooo painful! I've been reading about how everyone described their exercises and omg, it sounds scary! That's probably the only part I'm worried about now... and of course, scarring! But that's later on, so yeah ^^
Well, I'm a tuition teacher (Aren't most foreigners here in Korea working as that?? ^^; so I can probably get my students to do stretching with me every 30 mins! Hahaha ^0^ I'm worried about the standing part cox I'll be taking the subway everywhere I go, and Korean subway can be a horror at times. Will my calves actually give way from standing too much??
