princes99998 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 HI guys, I posted a while ago about my neurectomy procedure. I did the surgery on April 16th, so it's been almost a month. My legs have shrunk around 1.5-2 cm... I'm certainly not satisfied with the result yet, and I'm hoping for more of a reduction. My measurements were 39 and 38.5, so now i'm around 37.5 each (in the monring... in evening they are bigger). Apparently the results take 1 to 3 months to show up. I have a feeling that I'm not going to be satisfied... not sure if I would recommend this procedure at this point, so I recommend everyone wait a few more months for my updates before deciding to do it. After all, I had very muscular calves to begin with and if it doesn't work for me, it might be an even worse option for you guys. It's still a bit difficult for me to walk barefoot or with ballet flats. I find it much easier to walk in heels/wedges, as these shoes require you to use thigh muscle rather than calf muscle.

black-caviar Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Hi Princess, Great to hear from you. Although its only been a month, I think 2 cm's is a great start! I have done heaps and heaps of research on the neurectomy procedure and read quite a few journal articles on the procedure and it says that it takes up to 6 months to notice the full effect.... with that said, i think 2cm's in 1 month is a great result! If possible do you have an email address I can contact you on? I have booked my procedure in September and was wondering if I could ask you a few questions?

princes99998 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 hey black caviar, where did you read 6 months and where are you doing it? i think i've also read quite a few studies, but not in-depth. the six months figure gives me more hope that they will shrink even more lol yes, feel free to email. my email is [email protected] (excuse the silly email) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black-caviar Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Thanks Princes99998, I've sent you an email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joo_joo2704 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I was also so scared: What if I wouldn't be able to run on thread mil anymore ( the thing I usually do to maintain my current weight)!! I have been regularly physically active from my childhood and I had zero idea how to give up! Although it takes a long time to come back to your exercises or feel strong enough to walk or jog for a quite long time outdoors, it is fairly possible. I wanna go to OZ cosmetic clinic where Dr.Park does this surgery. How bout you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppoi Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Hi darakuku May I know why you chose to go to dr Jong and not dr park? I'm planning to go for the op this September hopfully but still deciding between the two. I'm a bit shocked when you said you were awake during the op but yeah thanks goodness your op is successful and I'm glad you are happy with the results. Could it be possible to show me your before and after photo? I have not been to the forum for some time and I need to have my encouragement back as I don't know why I'm so scared to go for the op now. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babyangel11 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hi recently i came across an article in yahoo about sex crime issue in Korea (see link below) and wonder if you gals have heard it as well n if its true. Im just concerned if going there for surgery would have any problems.http://sg.news.yahoo.com/korean-police-beef-war-sex-crimes-054002755.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffxlulu Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Hi guys, I've booked my surgery with Dr. Park at the end of July. I am wondering if anyone will be going to do their surgery around that time. I will probably stay in Seoul for 16 days. I am super scared and excited, and hopefully I can find a girl who is doing this with me. Thanks!! I am from Canada btw. and finally my dream will come true in 2 months... i have follow this forum post for more than one year, it seems to be dead now. I wonder if there are any active forum posts that is similar to this. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skim3 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Ffxlulu. I just found this forum and signed up today. I am so excited for you! I wish I had that time off to join you, but I'll probably do it spring of next year. I was sick this ski season so I couldn't snowboard much which I plan to remedy 2013-14. I will be following your progress as you like to snowboard as well. I fear having the surgery and not be able to do sharp turns for bumps and the trees! Don't forget about this site! Please!

ffxlulu Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Hey Skim3, My original plan was to go next year spring time after the snowboarding season ends. But I just get super depressed when summer arrived and want to do this surgery soon. Dr.Park said I can resume snowboarding several months after the surgery. I am not sure if I can resume snowboarding this year. But I will keep an update for those who loves to snowboard/skii. Anyone know if there is a place where I can rent ps3 console or something? I heard gaming can reduce the pain a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skim3 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Oh my gosh, guys, I wish I could join you this year! Sending out positive vibes on your very speedy recovery for the slopes this year! Maybe for hose who want to go with someone, you should post on the "Asian nose" threads. It seems like people are going all the time and have to stay at least a week.
