wow.. my first time here and I find this great thread! i think its great how everyone is so open about their bodies. i recently had my calves operated on as well in korea at the oz clinic about 2 1/2 weeks ago. so far i cant really tell b/c i think my legs have swelled up and i was devastated after removing the bandages a few days ago and discovering that they were basically the same size before the operation but just a few days before they were noticeably smaller. i know it takes up to a year to see the final results but im a very impatient person. can anyone else who has done this offer any advice or progress reports? anything would be helpful. thanks!

Happy 80, you are 6 years post calf muscle removal. How do your calves look? Are your muscles smaller? Have you accumulated any fat/fluid deposits in place of your muscles?

Hi

I did email Dr park as well as Dr Jong though Dr park indicated that he thought the problem was lower in the leg ... he didn't really say anymore than that as I remember. I have shared many emails directly with Dr Jong who has been very helpful and informative so far. It is a massive decision to make going through an op though the conversations I have shared with others have been really reassuring. Apart from wanting to go this year I have not decided when as yet. I will be travelling from the UK so a fair distance to travel too. I am sure that I would have done the op already had Dr Jong been based here! Have you been thinking about this for a while... where are you from...and which Dr do you think can help you? How long have you been on the forum, can you send private messages?

Hey ladies, I decided I'm going to see Dr. Jong the second week of march. Please let me know if anyone else decides to go during that time. It would be nice to have some one to go through this experience with. I can't wait to get this done, I've been thinking about it for years :)

Hi girls,

It's been exactly 4 weeks after my calf surgery with Dr Park at OZclinic. The result is superb already, my walking is SO good. I believe the other 3 girls who were there with me are happy too. We are still in contact and no one is complaining.
He told me my ideal at 160cm is a circumference of 32cm. But at my request he made them even smaller. They are now at 31cm :-) Dr Park is very easy to talk to. He will give you his opinion without pushing. I am glad he didn't take anything from Sol muscle as this can be very dangerous for your walking ability.
The overall experience is so positive that I will return to Dr Park for more procedures in approx 2-3 weeks.

I will stay from 18th-25th Feb in Seoul. My surgery will be on 19th, I guess ...

If anyone wants to hook up or share a room let me know!
I can especially help someone who wants to have calf reduction through the whole process as it can be quite difficult in the beginning! I have been through it and would be glad to accompany someone else.

Hi Elena

May I check what were your original calf measurements and which country are you from?

Im deciding between Jong or Park. Jong says he only touches the Edge of Sol n does not interfere with the walking ability.

Wud you be staying at the same hotel Yong Dong or something like that in Korea?

Hi creativeflower,

Im interested in going for this calf reduction surgery n im still deciding between Jong or Park. May I check what makes you decide to go to Jong instead of Park?

Did Jong advise approx. how many cm you would lose from each calf?

I might want to go for this surgery sometime in March too but I still cant decide on Jong or Park!

How long are you staying in Taiwan and which hotel? I presume you would be travelling alone too?

I can be reached at sweetielove3399 at yahoo dotcom

Cheers.

Ladies, I just wanted to say that we should be careful of what personal information we put on this website and even email eachother. We don't know who's reading this site. I don't think anyone should say exactly when they are going and where they are coming from. There are a lot of fake online identities out there and everyone should be safe. It would probably be best to contact the plastic surgeon to find out when another patient is going through the same surgery if you want company. Just wanted to put it out there!

Hi guys

I have been reading this since 2011 but never post anything. Finally I have decided to go for the surgery with Dr Park in June this year.

I have already booked in the date and would like to know if anyone is keen to go around the same time. Pls do let me know.

I can't decide which surgeon to go with, Dr Park or Dr Jong. Can you share why you decided on Dr Park?

Hi Madisonthegreat

I never thought about going to Dr Jong purely because Dr Park is more reputable and he doesn't want to touch the sol muscle plus incision is shorter.

I have been in touch with Dr Park since 2011 and he has been very nice and helpful. Also, few people who had surgeries with him told me his post op care were excellent. I guess that gives me peace of mind.

When are you looking at going?

Hi Shazzayo,
I have not decide what to do or when to go yet. I had lipo on my legs years back; it didn't reduce the size of my calves at all. My legs just look like "hail damage" now. Because I had such bad experience, I need to certain of whatever I do next. I contacted Dr Park and Dr Jong. I feel Dr Jong may have better post op care (no bed pan, no aspirations...etc.), and he uses ultrasound before and after surgery. But, Dr. Park had done more calf surgeries than Dr. Jong. Dr Jong also advise me that the incision would be 4cm long which I thought it's quite big. Did Dr Park tell you how long his incisions would be?
