I maybe going in Mid/End of Dec . Will update if i have firmed my plan .
Anyone planning to go for Dr,Park's in Mid Dec this year ?
Hi Sszz
So are you confirmed to go to Dr Park for partial resection surgery instead of selective neurectomy surgery?
cheers
Hi Baby Angel ,
hopefully yes in dec as high frequency muscle ablation or selective neurectomy surgery seems to have unpredictable result , side effect or recurrence chance .I didn't expect much but just a 2-3cm reduction in circumference is ideal for me .
I was wondering if above methods work Dr Park/Dr Jong would have chosen that non-invasive method instead of having the patient to go through long recovery .
i wonder if i should consider calf surgery, i've always felt my calves have too much muscle... and because they don't have much fat (i'm not fat) i think it makes the muscles more visible which i think doesn't look good. if i just stand around you can't see any muscle but if i run or exercise then i'm like "ew" haha. can i just have like, some muscle cut out without any problems? haha. that would be great (i know there are risks and you have to train them every day afterwards otherwise you get problems but i'm just asking) sometimes i also think they're too big but i don't know, i read some of your results here and i guess they're not that huge... 32.3cm circumference both sides at the thickest part (i measured unevenly first time because i used a piece of clothing to wrap around the calf and then measured that but i found a real flexible measuring tape and measured again, 3 times. 32.3cm is the correct number.) is that much? i'm about average height, a little taller than average.
also I made sure to measure this many times: they are symmetrical in measurements (the muscled don't look like it to me when i flex them, i think the left one looks bigger than the right one but the measuring tape says they're both the EXACT same size. would the surgery risk this symmetry? i don't want asymmetry in my body! i'm already risking asymmetry with other surgeries...)

ignore the above message... I looked at my calves today and checked them out in every way from like a million angles... they're perfect for my body, I don't need anything like this T_T this is why it's so easy for consultants to get us to do surgery that we didn't even think we needed before... because we already do it to ourselves (i do at least) i don't need calf surgery and i was crazy to think that! i need a bunch of other things but not this. i don't know if this happens to any of you but really girls, be careful not to end up getting too much done~
Hi Black Cavier ,
May i ask if you did undergo neurectomy ? i am looking at 1-3cm reduction so may want to consider neurectomy instead of partial muscle resection . It seems that result is unpredictable for neurectomy .. Can i have your email add as i do not have enough posts for PM ..
Hi shinyglittery
Wow! 32.3cm circumference is really small for calves. Pls don't go anything.
If you read thru the cases here, most if not all have more than 33cm to start with.
Cheers.
Hi sszz
I think I would most likely opt to go for Neurectomy.
Actually I have done online consultations with 2 Korean clinics - Grand & Hafis n both said that because I don't seem to have much muscles on my calves (as I seem to have more fats there) they don't think I would have very ideal results
But because I really want to avoid anything invasive if possible, I think I might just go for neurectomy. I read the info n it seems that if you have bulky or protruding muscles on calves (like men), neurectomy seems to be able to yield quite good results.
I have so much fats on my calves that I might not seem to have good results - probably partial resection would have better results. But if I can lose 2cm from each calf via neurectomy and both calves evenly, I would be happy!
I learnt that Hafis in Korea is specialised in Calves surgery - neurectomy - their website is in Korean & Japanese n it seems that they have done thousands of neurectomy cases.
If I do the surgery I might do in January.
Is anyone keen to go to Korea to do neurectomy procedure??
Cheers.

Thanks for your reply . did you undergo liposuction before ? If i remember well , you shared that you have lumpy calves after lipo ... I am looking for ways to fix the lumpy calves and most of the doctors advised fat graft .
Do share with me if you find a way to cure the lumpiness . Can I have your email add ? i can't PM yet ..
Hi sszz
Yes you are right - I did liposuction on my calves many years back n results were bad
In fact it looks kind of lumpy n saggy now n I don't see any loss of circumference at all! So disappointed & furious!
I think it looks worse than before lipo. I really regretted the operation n would certainly discourage anyone from having lipo on their calves. Please DONT do it. And because there is like a "dent" on one of the calves - fat graft is advised to "fill up" that "dent". I wrote to Dr Park & Dr Jong before n I think 1 of them said he would also do the fat graft at the same time when he does the partial resection of the muscles.
But im so weary of any surgery that is invasive now (the lipo on calves was invasive) that I really kind of dread having to go thru especially the post-surgery care & also the recovery period. I take a long time to recover from surgeries n I hate it.
My email is sweetielove3399 atyahoo dotcom
Im thinking of just maybe settling for Grand or Hafis for neurectomy. Of course I suppose partial resection might be the best choice but when I think of having to stay 2 weeks in Korea n taking around more than 1 month or around 3 months to recover kind of discourage me
Hi I know I might sound silly but can someone advise is RF Nerve Ablation the SAME procedure as Neurectomy? Or are both of them Totally Different procedures? Im getting a bit confused here.
Thanks!
Thanks!
