dancinmama Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Oh also make sure you bring good probiotics or asidophilus and stock up your mini fridge with yoghurt! You have to take antibiotics for a week and it's super important to keep your good bacteria!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackkki Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 what did dr park say was your goal cm? and also is your soleus or the lateral part of your leg really hypertrophic and bulging (since the soleus extends from back ankle to lateral part of leg? if so did he say your legs will look slightly bowed after surgery? I'm just asking bc my calves are similar to your size but the lateral part is really bulging. however, dr park said he can do the surgery. I'm just afraid of going to visit him and have him say my soleus is very big and removing just the gastromecius muscles will make my legs looked bowed.

dancinmama Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 34.5cm is my goal. He never mentioned anything about my legs looking bowed after the surgery, but I don't think I have an overly large soleus (in porportion to the rest of my leg). For me it was mainly the gastro that bulged out. I think it's important to have a realistic goal and not expect perfection when considering this surgery. Improvment is all I'm hoping for, and I am more than pleased with the results so far Have you sent Dr Park good quality photos? He should be able to tell from the pics if he can help you or not. From what I've read on the forum, he is always more than honest and up-front when it comes to your goals vrs what he is actually able to do based on your anatomy.

jackkki Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 thanks. i think I'm planning to go this may 2012. the only thing is that i've been reading this forum over and over and have only read two people that went to dr jong and everyone else went to dr park. But i know I have a wide soleus and dr jong will be the only one to fix it. It is difficult because it seems as if there is not much information on the surgery except that only these two doctors perform it. It is also hard due to the fact that I am going to another country to perform surgery that cannot be fixed in my country if something goes wrong. I do not know how the regulations work in taiwan or korea on plastic surgery especially if your a foreigner. I've seen a lot of horror stories of plastic surgery in mexico on the news but i don't know how it is in asia. Im not trying to scare anyone but just being realistic and stating what I know. though i may go through with the procedure blind and ignorant, I feel that I just need to do it. I'm sure that many feel that way in this forum but it is important to tell at least one person you are going through with the surgery, where, the hotel & clinic number, and the days you will be gone for in case something happens. we all need to be safe at least in that way.
