Calves reduction surgery

[Tremere]

Has anybody had calves reduction surgery at Oz Clinic? What has their experience been?

@TremereThis can be a bit of tricky surgery and is one that is bit controversial due to frequency of complaints, side effects and subsequently malpractice lawsuits in Korea. Please be sure the juice is worth the squeeze for this procedure, consult throughly, and make sure they explain everything to you including the side effects. 

 Is there a particular reason why you're leaning towards Oz? Do you have any other clinics in your consideration set?

These are some clinics that focus on this procedure:

• JSME Clinic
• Hafis Clinic
• Sage Clinic

I can't speak for any of the above nor endorse them, but JSME and Hafis seem to focus on this heavily, so maybe worth a look.

FYI: (종아리 퇴축술) This is what the procedure Korean is called in Korean just in case you want to search the Korean web.

Thank you! This surgeon and Dr. Jong in Taiwan plus Dr. Liu in USA and another one in Spain are the only ones that surgically remove the muscle. All of the other methods don't do much.

Do you know of any malpractice lawsuit?

There's a thread on TPF that has hundreds of pages with info.

Not any case details in particular, but there have been some law blogs and articles that mentioned it's a procedure/point of contention because of its risk. And there are likely many general surgery practitioners trying to jump on it. Koreans tend to have a complex / concern over pronounced jaw bones and calf leg muscles, so naturally surgeons will want to treat a popular concern.
