lvluv Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 z-plasty is now considered "outdated" in many clinics, the "magic epicanthoplasty", where they just slit the corner and stitch is what korean doctors typically use now ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimosa Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Surgery to make your calves smaller. I think they shave down some muscle or something to make your legs not look so thick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canteengirl Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 actually calf surgery invovles severing certain muscles so the muscles will atrophy, resulting in a slimmer appearance of the leg - cons: painful + a permanently weaker leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashmi99 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 That is not entirely all true. There are 2 major methods of calf surgery. The nerve method involves severing a nerve, which then results in atrophy (as you are speaking of.) The other method is calf resection, where part of the calf muscle is actually removed. I had calf resection and have as much strength in my calves as I did pre-op and experience no pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zb51 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Hi guys, I just stumbled across this thread, so i joined the forum. I'm going to have eyelid surgery in shanghai this november and I'm also planning to have the calf reduction surgery in Korea at the OZ clinic later next year. Ashmi99, you said that you had the calf surgery done at OZ, are u happy with the result. What is the scar like, is it noticeable or has it healed nicely? also what was the pain like in the first few weeks after the surgery? Thanx.

jenoats Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Where do you plan on getting your eyelid surgery in Shanghai? I visited several clinics there and I wasn't very happy with their results. So I think i am going to get my nose and eyes done in the OZ clinic in Korea this winter. If the clinic in shanghai is better, I think i will def do it there.

zb51 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I'm getting mine done at the Shanghai ninth peoples hospital (i think that what its called). It was recommended by my aunt who had hers done there, its supposed to be the best in in Shanghai. There was also another one that she recommended called the Shanghai Generation Plastic Surgery Hospital, also supposedly one of the best in Shanghai. Their web site is: English - www.sh-shuguang.com/Chinese - www.sh-shuguang.com/english/I had a look at some of their before and after pics and was pretty impressed by some of the results. The link for those are:http://www.sh-shuguang.com/html/dbsc/ COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashmi99 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hi. I am very happy with my result. I had the surgery in May 2005. If you read the entire thread, I posted some information about my results, as well as pictures. It was definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made and worth the pain, recovery and money. The scar is just a very light thin line. It is in the fold behind my knee, so it is not noticeable, except to myself and my fiance (who knows I had the surgery.) As for the pain after recovery, it really varies. I had a very tough recovery. I was unable to walk normally for about 1 month. However, the girl who had surgery with me was able to walk well a couple days after surgery. However, I tell myself that I had a tough recovery, but ended up with fantastic results!

zb51 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Thanx ashmi99. I think i would definitely do calve surgery now after hearing that you had such as great result. By the way, how long did you stay in Korea for recovery? Did the plane trip have any effect on your calves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashmi99 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I stayed for 2 weeks after the operation. I was able to check in for my return flight about 5 hours early, so I got a great seat right at the front of the plane. I had tons of room in front of me and was able to stretch my legs frequently. I think the flying does exacerbate the swelling a bit, but it is important to keep drinking fluids and stretching. Also, I was wearing the VERY TIGHT stockings, which help with swelling.

discovery Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 HI. I had the magic medial epicanthoplasty done. The results itself are great. No scar. However, I didn't know what the procedure was going into it and now I want it reversed. I am considering BK Clinic for it. Does anyone have any experience with BK? It seems that they are the premiere in Korea but I want to make an informed decision not just based on reputation alone. Anyone know anything about reversal of medial epicanthoplasty? Thank you.
