camber Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi Dianne Dr S is a complete waste of time. Went to Germany hoping I did not have to come to Korea but he talked a lot about calf reduction originating in Germany but only offered lipo. Complete waste of time.

mika0032 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Hi Thanks alot for the reference. Its not shapely but i guess its because of swelling? I have muscle plus alot of skin on my calves after liposuction hope dr park can do skin removal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parachute333 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 There definitely is a reduction in my calves just that I am not satified with the shape of my calves. I am not sure if I am still swollen or either that, its just genetic. I have attached photos of before and after in the previous post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mika0032 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I think you will need to wait 3 months for swelling to go down. When i did liposuction i can see the result 3-4 months after the swelling is completely gone. Hope you have the best result after a few more months!

dianna22 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Thanks Camber. Strange that he wouldn't do muscle reduction. I'm seriously thinking about going with Perry Liu in Los Angeles. He has a website 'calf reduction specialist' dedicated to women with large muscular calves. Has anyone been to him either? any consults? I'm waiting back from an email.

camber Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Der Diana I had skype consultation with him $150 and he tries to recommend the new RF nerve blocking method. To me this is another waste of time as nerves can regenerate and the dr cannot be very precise on the nerves killed off. Nerves grow back again so the muscle would regenerate. it is another temporary method as far as I am concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianna22 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi Camber, I Heard back from his staff and they were pushing the radio frequency too. It felt like they were putting me off resection as the email read that you'd be bed ridden for 2 weeks with resection, however after reading many, many stories of people having this, people have been up and walking about day 3/4 (albeit slowly). I asked for before and afters but only got one. I cant believe they dont offer any surgical intervention for calf reduction in the Uk or europe.

camber Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Hi Diane There is no point in other options. They would just take the money for eg. RF and you would have repeat the procedure six months later. Have to go through the resection if you want permanent result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianna22 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I know, I have figured this out myself. Plus would be worried about nerves etc. I just find it difficult to comprehend that there is only a couple surgeons to choose from ( and such a long way away too, and different culture. How big are your calves? ( height/weight?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camber Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Hi parachute Just looking at your before and after and that is significant reduction. May be the light but your scar does not appear bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chococatx Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hi guys, Hope everyone's doing well. Thanks so much for sharing your pics @parachute333 I'm still recovering. Dr. Park aspirated but not much came out, so he said I'm pretty much done and I don't need to do it. It's so weird because the sides of my feet are still numb and are completely purple and dark. The swelling went down though. I see a difference in the size of my calves, and hoping to shape them out as time goes by using the bandages. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

camber Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hi Chococatx Thanks for update. Dr Park aspirated me first time nothing came out, second time it just kept coming - he was teaching me to do it myself on that occasion I am going to do it again shortly. He had to take quite a bit more from my right leg as it was must bigger. I have had a good recovery with my left leg - obviously smaller - I will try and aspirate in about one hour and keep stretching it anyway. Definitely feel like I need to aspirate the right leg today. Did a lot of walking yesterday trying to stretch out my right leg and felt it was getting a bit loser and move movement yesterday but it has not been fun. The sides of my ankles are very sore today - stretching and walking I suppose. They have been tingling which I hope is a good sign but still dont have full feeling. Everyone keep in touch especially Chococatx and Parachut - all of us having experienced this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
