apinkpastel Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 Has anyone gotten Botox for their calves? I've been wanting to get the surgery for years but after reading about the recovery process and seeing results I'm questioning whether it'd be worth it for me or not in the end. I hate my calves and don't think they suit me at all but looking at the results from a local doctor who offers this procedure(see links below) I'm contemplating it. However it will most likely cost the same as going to see Dr. Park. I read through some of the post op diaries and I would rather go with Dr Park over Dr Jong especially seeing the results and hearing what their patients have had to say. I did go to Seoul earlier this year for v-line and rhino so I'm comfortable with plastic surgery but reading about the foot swelling kind of scares me. For reference, I am 165cm and my calves are 38cm. Lipo won't work because it's definitely pure muscle.
wanderwonder123 Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Hello. May I know which clinic is Dr. Park affiliated to? I really wanted to have mine done. I have been very conscious about my calf. But my concern is my job requires me to be on my feet most of the time, i am concerned about the post-op healing.
libertysky Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 seriously? all you have to do is not do any sort of strength training with them, stretch them often, do only low resistance exercises like cycling, swimming, etc. that don't put a lot of counter pressure against your legs.
chococatx Posted January 12, 2020 Posted January 12, 2020 Hi guys, I still feel tingling around my ankles. My calves seem visibly reduced although asymmetrical, but I don't really mind. The scars behind the knees are still visible, and in the summer, friends ask about it or when I'm getting a massage, masseuses will ask me about it. Other than that, it hasn't grown, although I have been doing weight training. If you guys don't mind the side effects, I say go for it for permanent results. Edit: Btw, I did this surgery with Dr. Park about 2 years ago.
balaboom Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Hi chococatx, Thank you for sharing your experience - I've been pondering on the surgery for many years, but worried about the side effects. Much appreciation if you could share a bit more about the asymmetry - is it noticeable to others? Have you asked Dr Park about the cause of the tingly feeling, painful?
chococatx Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Assymetry is not noticeable to others. Just me. I didn't ask Dr. Park. It doesn't hurt, but is sensitive when strongly massaged and tingly. No pain. Still need to do calf stretching daily! Very important.
halvars Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 Hi chococatx How does weight training feel after the surgery? Do you feel your strength is as before the surgery, or has it weakened after the surgery even 2 years later? I'm worried about this because I do lower body weight training regularly. I'm also worried about the scars, I was hoping it wouldn't be noticeable to others. Do you mind sharing a picture of your calves and the scar?
wenli02ca Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 I’m getting the surgery in March 2020. Will be there March 12-April 2. Anyone going around the same time?
