breeandco Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 I have always had the same issue! I think it might be because I played soccer when I was growing up (and as a young adult) so my calf muscles never get smaller! Stretching is the only thing that keeps them from getting even bigger. After running/walking/wearing heels/etc. I always make sure to do toe-touch stretching and yoga stretches to help. Keeping the muscles stretched out prevents bulk!
girliciousgirl Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 (edited) Can anyone who has had the surgery done please send me pictures of their legs AFTER surgery? I am seriously considering having this surgery done... I would really appreciate it!!!!!!! Edited April 10, 2019 by girliciousgirl Personal info posted
chilli910 Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I have a plan to do this surgery too . Anyone can send me a pic before-after plz This is my email: [email protected] Many Thanks!!!
pinky Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Just started lurking around this forum today. surprised to see the large amount of people that have undergone / considering to undergo the resection surgery... I am also very interested in this surgery. do you guys only recommend doctors from korea? also, what was the price like? my calves measure about 40cm have always been very embarrassed about them. the muscle part bulges out a lot.... will recovery really take 6 months?
anoukmarie Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Hi Sunflower, I'm sooo happy for you that you arengone threw this all and its over! I only now read all your experiences and posts because i was in hurry and had no time to lool at purse and all the news! Also bad that we not get threw this together , i really wanted but i had no time to go threw it now... My plans are now there for November or january!

And can u send me some before and after pics on my email adress? Dont worry i'm very serious and it would be very helpful for me to see an actuell result of Dr.Park work! And can also send u some before pics of me ! May we have had the same calfs ?! My Email Adress is: [email protected] Thank u so much i can't wait for the pics!
teenagedirt Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Hi, how is everyone? Im two months post ops today. The swelling at the right ankle has completely disappeared but the left side is still a bit swollen. I have been walking, swimming, spinning and yoga-ing without any problems. I bought silicone sheet to cover for the scars, hopefully they will heal in no time. Morning upon walking out of bed, my legs feel a bit tight. But that is all about it. The one and only thing that bugs me is the compression stocking..it causes rashes on my legs. Yesterday, my bf complimented on how slim my legs are .....made me really happy for all the troubles that I have gone through
chilli910 Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Glad to hear that you are getting better. My boyfriend hasn't accepted the calf reduction yet 'cause he said it's would be so dangerous and waste of money just for...legs. But no one can understand us, i'm sure . People may think we're too crazy... I have been read all of the threads from this topic. And I intend to go to Dr.Jong. One question to teenagedirt: Can u send your email for me so we can communicate easily. Is it okie if i send Dr.Jong email to ask him many questions? And how much did Dr Jong charged you for this surgery? Thanks in advance!
teenagedirt Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Dr Jong is very nice..pls email him all the questions that you have. It is very important to communicate with your doctor regarding your concern and expectation. PM u my email
mism Posted October 21, 2012 Posted October 21, 2012 Wow, I'm so happy I found this forum. I've been researching calf reduction for a couple of years now and I'm planning on going to Dr. Park in September next year. Is anyone else planning on going around that time as well??
citygirl007 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Hi ashmi, unknown it's been a long time since you posted in this tread, but I really need some insight about this calves surgery! Can I email you? Cuz I don't know how to pm[email protected]
summershimmer Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 For anyone who has gotten the surgery, how much walking are you able to do after 4-5 days post-op? I'm curious because I'd like to take advantage of my time in Korea to do some sight seeing and shopping and want to plan accordingly. Thank you!
ashley123456 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 Hello! I really want to ask you questions. Do you have email to contact? Thank You!
ashley123456 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I wonder the does the radio frequency work?
ashley123456 Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I really want to send you private message but I couldn't. Can you please tell me how can I contact you? I really need your suggestion. Many Thanks!
teenagedirt Posted October 25, 2012 Posted October 25, 2012 I would definitely advise against walking on day 4-5. Your legs need to recover. Plus the more you walk, the more likely you will have hematoma. So take it easy! If your family is accompany you, then ask them to wheel you around for sight-seeing. Based on my experience, even sitting on the wheel-chair for 3 hours daily made my wound slightly swollen; nevertheless walking.
