scaredsilly Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Hi. What exercise would b best right after surgery? Yoga? And how soon can we start after surgery? Two weeks? Thanks.
plasticsecret Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I'm 3 months post op and am still wearing bandages. Dr. Park said bandages give better compression than the stockings so you should wear them as long as possible to achieve thinner calves. As for aspirations, I did it three more times after leaving seoul...approx. till 1.5 months post op? Hope this helps!
ffxlulu Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 I did yoga after a month. Yoga will help your recovery. You may stop wearing bandages after half a year. I still wear them at night, yet it's not necessary, I am just scared they will turn big.
beryltran04 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Hi ffxlulu, Did you have the surgery with Dr. Park? If so, do you still have his contact or do you know where I can find it? I kinda want to contact him in advance for some medical related questions. Btw, what is your email address? I couldn't find it from your profile Thanks so much!
icecoffee Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Hi Beryl Dr Park's email is [email protected]. Good luck
leela16 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Hi there, I am planning on doing the calf reduction surgery early july but have not choosen the doctor yet. Your calves look nice. Can you post pictures of before? Which method did you go for? nerve cutting or muscle resection? Which doctor did you choose? Thanks so much and congratulations on your new calves!
leela16 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Yes, i am going to Seoul early July. From 7th July to 15th July. Which operation are you doing there and how long are you staying?
icecoffee Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Hi I will be there for two weeks. Can you please Pm me when you can for my trip details? Thanks
leela16 Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 I think my account is too new, i can't PM or don't know how to do... my email: [email protected] What surgery are you doing?
scaredsilly Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 Thanks... Wow. It really is a long recovery process. Btw i got the calf stretcher you recommended. Love it already. Im sure will be most helpful after the surgery.
ffxlulu Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Thanks Leela16! You can look at my previous posts for the before pictures, because I don't have any pictures of my old calves anymore. I went for partial resection of gastroc. I chose Dr. Park.
leela16 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Hi ffxlulu, I went to see your picture before and after. They are really good! 7 days post op, you don't seem to have much scar, just 2 small ones. I am personnaly going for the laser nerve blocking surgery as it is cheaper and less recovery time. Anyone here know of this surgery? I hope the result will be ok too, even if they say that the muscles can grow back with time. I haven't choosen the doctor yet, still inquirying around. How much did you pay for your surgery? (sorry if you have mentionned it already in your earlier posts, i did not read everything...) Cheers
trantn2 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Hi ffxlulu, I will have calf surgery with dr. Park on July 22. Will bandage and stockings be provided to patients or I have to bring it myself? Do you have any tips for me (what to bring, etc) before the surgery? I'm really appreciated.
