nyckitty Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 hi! new to the forum. i joined because this is one of the RARE sites that has information on calf reduction surgeries. i noticed a lot of people were getting them done by dr. park at oz clinic in korea. i was wondering if anyone had positive experiences with other drs like dr jong at lr clinic in taiwan... i hope to schedule this trip soon this year!!!
qb-handbags Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Calf reduction? What is the purpose of this? Are your calves really so big that they're out of proportion to the rest of your leg and need to be reduced? This seems highly unlikely.
pmburk Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Unless you've dealt with big calves, you have no idea how frustrating it is. I've always had bigger calves. Then I took up dance and danced & taught for years, and they only got bigger. I can't wear knee boots. I have looked for a decent pair of cute boots for 3 years and haven't had any luck finding anything. I have to pick some random off-brand or a cheap plastic elastic-y pair, because unfortunately all the cute stylish designer boots will never fit over my calf, no matter how thin I am. Even the "large calf" size boots at most shops (JCrew I'm talking to you) are still too small. I don't think I'd opt for surgery, but I can definitely understand the frustration and annoyance, because I'm there now.
natalie78 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I don't have calves...I call mine cows because they are so damn big. But, I would never have any kind of surgery to reduce them. It sounds way too painful and the rehab period must be hell. Unless they look way out of proportion with the rest of your body, I wouldn't do it.
pmburk Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Yeah... can you imagine the recovery on that? Yikes!
natalie78 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I'm flexing my calf muscles right now and thinking about how painful it would be to have someone cut half of them off. I just cannot imagine.
charles Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 I think there's another thread on this. It has a lot more replies...FYI.
christy2 Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 hi was there any response to reviews of calf reduction surgery with dr jong
hautemama Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Wow, I was a dancer, too, and I still have trouble getting boots to fit. But major sugery and chopping off half a muscle just to get a pair of damn BOOTS to fit? The "cure" seems out of proportion to the "problem" IMO.
yetm Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 heard calf reduction can really give you severe side effects.. so I wish you consider again.. about having a surgery...
darakuku Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 Hi guys, I just had the op with dr Jong and currently on day 16th post op. let me know if anyone want to know my experience . I don't know how to use private messages yet though so I will answer on here.
skim3 Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 Hi, Christy! How is it going? I'm interested in this procedure, but I'm new to it as well. I read most of the posts here and the other thread. What does it mean when they say you have to aspirated? Does he leave a tube in? Or does he stick a needle in each time? Thanks! I can't PM yet because I'm new.
