cranberri100 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 Hi everybody! Yesterday, I sent my first e-mail to Dr. Park at the OZ clinic. He responded within a day, and since I asked, he sent me a link to the post-op photos (http://drpark.co.kr/eng/info04.htm). I was hoping for more than what is available on his website, and asked if these are typical results of his patients. I have since sent him a photo of my calves for a virtual simulation of what they might look like post-op. I am looking forward to his response, and I will figure out how to share the photos with you all (I'm not the most tech savvy, so if anyone can let me know how to put up URL links of photos, I would be very grateful). ffxlulu and Linney, I was wondering how you were doing moving forward with your recovery?

vej Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Hi Black Caviar, Thank you so so much for posting your experiences! I equally don't want to go for the Resection. I had looked at Dr Lui's website, but was very confused as to the actual procedure he was providing! I have lots of questions, but I can't yet PM. Did you find your skin shrunk back along with the muscle? I am worried about having excess skin left after.. Did Dr Lui tell you how many procedures he has performed? What was the minimum length of stay? Did he advise rest after - or to walk lots as you did? Thank you! So grateful you have posted! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black-caviar Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 havent received a private message?? can you send it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black-caviar Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hi there, Yes my skin has shrunk i suppose... He has performed quite a few- i think maybe 70 or 80 when i asked. Length of stay is about a week, but to be honest I could have gone the next day... i think he likes his out of town patients to stay for a week to make sure everything is ok. Hope this helps Maybe email him with your questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiongs Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 stretch them straight, wearing highheels will shorten your calve muscle, if u get hwat i mean. running uphill will make them bigger, but if you run on striaght land or walk it will make them leaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrowzeknees Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hello everyone! I'm interested to get calf reduction in Korea and wonder if anyone is interested to go together? Please PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativeflower Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hey Ladies, I also had the selective neurectomy done by Dr. Liu in Los Angeles. I agree with Black Caviar that Dr. Liu and his staff are very kind and supportive throughout the whole surgery and recovery process. However I didn't have positive results as Black Caviar did. My calve muscles did shrink to a size that I liked but after about 3-4 months they went back to normal size. Dr. Liu said there are accesory nerves that could still be attached to my calves so the muscle didn't shrink fully. He said that I can go back into surgery and he can try to locate these and disconnect them...but I haven't decided if I will go through with it since the first operation didn't have good results, how can I know the second operation will? Dr. Liu was very very kind and refunded me for the surgery since I didn't have any permanent change in my calf size. I still am very unhappy with my calf size however am hesitant to go through surgery again. Part of me feels that the only sure way of getting the reduction is taking out part of the muscle, but that is such a serious surgery.... I still think its very possible that many of you would have positive results with the selective neurectomy, but I just wanted to let you ladies know my experience and let you decide for yourself.

joo_joo2704 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Hi creativeflower! Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I was really wondering if the results of selective neurectomy would be permanent for all the patients cz as I got from Dr.Liu's website, there is a chance that the muscle regrows and I couldn't find the other patients who have it done before...until you posted your experience Yes, as you said, it might be effective for many girls. I hope that you also find your way to get your ideal legs very soon. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyglittery Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 hey I have a question... what do those numbers mean? L36 and so on... does it mean left calf circumference 36cm at the thickest part..? more questions... are any other muscles commonly reduced and are there specialists for that? thighs for example? what if your circumference is already small but you feel like their too muscular...? i hope someone can give me some answers ^^ calf reduction isn't really something i need to get done but i see it talked about so much... i'm kind of curious~ what is selective neurectomy? i just read that... they remove nerves and... the muscles shrink on their own? or...? what's the usual procedure? i just thought they kind of cut some of the muscle out and that's it...? xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black-caviar Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hi creative flower, That's not good to hear that the procedure didn't meet your expectations. May I ask when you had the procedure performed and what your starting measurements were and your decreased measurements? How long after did they Increase in size and did you exercise a lot?
