Babz: sorry for the late reply. I think the only advice is to really stretch often and don't be lazy! I hope your recovery is doing good!

I'm now around 9 months post op now..
FYI, my knee pain has been with me even before operation. All i can do is keep in-taking glucosamine because I am very active and need to use knee joints a lot. My posture is normal now..
I do have heel pain when I stand in the subway for an hour. I still experience numbness on my right feet. I started massaging my calves with a strong heldheld massager, and I do see better improvements. (numb area is getting smaller) My left feet do not feel numb at all.
I walk non stop for 30 min (max) everyday, and I don't experience heel pain.
I still need to stretch for around 3 times a day. I really hope the stiffness will be gone soon because I still havent wear heels yet. (stopped for many months now)
My scars are still very visible, it is sad to know that they will be with me during summer, although I do put anti-scar gel on everyday.
I still do compress my calves because I'm scared they will grow bigger. But they usually don't grow when I stopped compressing them for a couple of days.
My calves are around 32cm-33cm now. I think they will be 33cm. Even though it seems like they only reduced by 3cm, but the shape is not bulky at all.
I workout 30min 5x per week. I usually do fitness & aerobics. I do not have any problems working out. I used to go snowboarding like 2 times a month during snowboarding season.
My other concern is my right calf is not completely filled up. I really hope it will soon.

Hi girls,
I've been lurking on this forum for a while! I'm thinking of getting the procedure done with either Dr. Park or Dr. Jong this summer. If anyone else is thinking of going in that time frame, please feel free to message me!
hi eury.dice
I'm planning to go this summer too,email me please [email protected]
may be there junly/aug but not 100% certain at this point. would love to help anyone interested.
as for the scar question, a bit darker, but hardly noticeable after about 2 years. before then, use concealer or wear stockings. I come on this forum once in a blue moon, so private message me, which goes straight to my email. I'm still on b/c I truly want to help those who aren't able to live fully as they live behind frumpy pants. for the first time in my life i feel feminine and alluring. it truly opens up another world.
hello to all...I too, have been a lurker on this forum for several years and just registered today.
At this point, I'm about 80-85% sure I'm having the surgery in July with Dr. Jong. Dr. Park quoted me around 7200$, which is too much for me, since my parents will not pay for it (they're against it). Plus I want to meet some taiwanese girls in tawian haha
I'm different than most on this forum though...I'm a 23 year old male from the USA. It'd be cool to have someone to go with, but realise that most people would probably feel weird or scared to meet up with a strange guy they met online. But if not just post here and let me know.
I will be in Europe during June and late July-early december on vacation, so couldn't fly over with anyone but could meet someone there if they are interested.
many thanks to everyone who has made this thread what it is. I started reading it in the summer of 2010 and have followed ever since....all of your contributions have helped me (and many others) make important decisions concerning this surgery.

because they do not match my body. I am 6-0 and 160 pounds (I was 144 at my lightest a few years ago). My entire body is thin, but my calves are very large...40cm, to be exact. So I have skinny arms, skinny everything (even lower leg/ankle are skinny), except my calves, that is the only place in my body where I am muscular.
I want to be thin all around and want to be able to wear skinny/semi skinny jeans. I do not want to be very muscular, I don't like that look. maybe some guys do, but not me. you will never find me in the weight room lol.
Can anyone share their calf reduction surgery with Taiwan dr jong? I am really interested doing in Taiwan due to lower surgery cost and overall expenses is lower in Taiwan. How many days is it required to stay in Taiwan. I read that dr jong make longer
incision, but the post op care is better than dr park. Would appreciate your sharing.
