Hi everyone,
This forum is not very active lately. But I will still continue to post the condition of my calves and hopefully my posts will help others out there.
Summer is here and I'm getting more and MORE excited everyday to wear SHORTS, SKIRTS, and DRESSES!
I feel soo happy whenever I tried on these apparels.
Now, I've been avoiding buying PANTS, JEANS, MAXI DRESSES, MAXI SKIRTS (I HAVE TONSSS)
Here are the most recent pictures of my legs when doing some shopping for shorts:

There are two habits I have changed recently to reduce heel pain and scars
They are SUPER effective)
1. My heel pain is starting to fade because I keep massaging my calves using a good STRONG hand held massager. I feel a strong urge of tingling pain in the beginning, but the more I massage my calves with the massenger, the discomfort starts to fade away. The numbness on my feet also starts to reduce. I would recommend the OSim Upamper (recommended by my massage therapist). You can purchase it here:

2. I have switched from using Mederma to another anti-scar cream called Pentaxyl. Mederma is great, but the progress of diminishing my scar is so SLOW. I finally tried using Pentaxyl and it is AMAZING! I can see my scars getting diminished much faster compare to Mederma. I also tried to apply Pentaxyl on my very old scars (15 years old), and I do see results! The only regret is that I DIDN'T start using this in the winter or ELSE I WOULD HAVE NO SCARS BY NOW.
you can purchase Pentaxyl by going to this link: http://ca.shop.com/marketca/559110183-p+898.xhtml?vid=243365
but you have to create an account before ordering by clicking here or the link above.
These things are a bit expensive, but I will do whatever IT TAKES to make my legs look & feel normal again!! (since I've already spent 5k+ on surgery)
Hope this works! Feel free to message me if you have any other questions.

Thank you for your advice! Your legs look gorgeous! I know you'll probably feel like burning them now, but do you happen to have any photos of your calves before the procedure?
I can only hope to be as confident as you are after I get it done
Hi beauty34,
I was also torn for a while between Dr. Jong and Dr. Park. Do you have any more information on this case? If you still have the email, could you forward it to me via PM? I'm very concerned because I see this as a once-in-a-lifetime procedure and too invasive/costly to even consider revisions.
Please let us know!
Hey babyangel!
It was overally good. I was 36, 36.5 to start with. My only issue is the nerve pain on my left leg! Did you also have any?!
To those who already challenged the nerve pain: Any recommendation to reduce it is soooo appreciated!

yes, you are right. I don't have any previous pictures of my calves before. BUT, you can search in my previous posts which I have attached a picture of my calves before surgery.Thank you for your advice! Your legs look gorgeous!
