anoukmarie Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Oh thats bad that your walking is also not very returned to before. I hope things will go better by time. But did your Calfs change since the surgery in shape and circumference and just your ankles and feets are swollen or also your calfs?! Did you see a huge difference to before and after? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st-dalfour Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Hi everyone it's been awesome to have stumbled upon this thread - ive battled with muscular calves (when all my family members dont have it and neither do any of my friends.........) and it has been qt hard on the self esteem i realized most people have opted for the surgery. google tells me that are alternatives, such as high frequency muscle reduction. can anyone enlighten me as to the difference??? the latter seems safer and equally permanent? or have i not done my research enough haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
summershimmer Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 For those of you who are still wavering between wanting to do this surgery or not, I just saw some pictures of Vanessa Hudgens, who apparently has huge calve muscles as well and she rocks them! I found an article that said she was really proud of them too. That gives me some hope that one day I'll be able to accept mine as well without surgery.

sunflower100 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hi everyone and Happy Father's Day! Thank you so much Jackkki for your informative post. I really appreciated it. You are a strong woman and although you're having a less than perfect recovery, your messages give me strength. Stay optimistic, I hope you are doing better these days. Anoukmarie- I would love to meet with you while in Korea and share experiences. I'm a believer that one can never have too much support. I'm still ubnable to PM but you can always email me at [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from you. So have you made a final decision on when you will be traveling? July 16th? Yllom- so great to see you active on the forum again. How is your recovery been? You had the procedure last March? Can you walk normally again? Do you have a limp, did you limp a lot post-op? Any regrets? Are you happy/ satisfied with your results? Do you think I could email you privately? Curious also if you have any before and after pictures to share? It's been about three months since your surgery, do you feel back to normal these days? How's the scar? Has it faded some? Dr. Park mentioned the scar should usually begin fading at the three-months mark. Are you finding this true for yourself? I have an update. I've been emailing with Dr. Park and it looks as if I'll be in Korea the last part of July and part of August. Honestly I'm a bit scared, but I've been back and forth so many times about the procedure; I'm just ready to make the commitment. He did a virtual simulation for me. I'm aware the reality after the procedure may not look like the simulation- but the "after" picture excited me and I'm hopeful. Alright all, hope to hear from ya soon and take cares!

anoukmarie Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hi Sunflower, nice to hear from you and also would be thankful to meet you in Korea! I'm waiting for my blood test and after that, when Dr.Park says erverything is alright i will book my flight and hotel. I think it would be the End of July! How long would you stay there and where did you live then? I want to stay in young dong hotel for about 10 days or more. Would love to hear from u! I also have a virtual result from Dr.Park and l love it very much , but i alsomknow that it is just a virtual result ! But for my opinion when in saw all these after pics from other girls who went to Dr.Park that there is a big difference in shape and it is possible that we could lost 5 cm , 2,5 inches for one leg ! And i think that would be a wonderful result!! From where do you travel to Korea? Greetings Anouk Marie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflower100 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hey Anouk Marie, I think I'll be in Korea in late July and part of August. I'm traveling from the United States. I'll also be staying at Yong Dong hotel too so I'm sure we will definitely see each other. I hope I will be able to PM you soon. Did you have to mail Dr. Park all your information before you could set a surgery date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooh_la Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Sorry for the late reply! I just saw this ): My parents have sort of come around--I can email you about it. What's your email address? I feel like we have a lot in common and it would be cool to keep in touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooh_la Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I agree, she has curvy but shapely calves. I'd die happy if I could slim mine down to look like hers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackkki Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 it is now 5 weeks post op and i can walk now without a limp. However, I still cannot walk fast or tiptoe. I am starting wearing the compression stockings but cannot wear them 24/7 bc they are so tight and uncomfortable. They are especially behind the knee when sitting. At night I just wear the bandages. The compression stocking really help getting rid of the swelling. My feet and ankles no longer look like ballons. Finally I can the bones again. HOwever, I noticed if I walk wearing just the bandages, my tendons and ankles would swell starting below the bandages. The size of my calves ranges from 32.5-34 cm. original 40cm. goal 33cm. Feels like such a long recovery but calves look so much better. I do still have pain on my heels when walking or standing for a while. I hope it will go away soon. Other people who have recently had the surgery, how have your recoveries' been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
