Hi ffxlulu,

I'm completely new to this forum and thinking of having the surgery sometime next year (most likely February).

When you said that you had to stretch a lot after the surgery, what types of stretching do you mean? If I have an office job, do you think I can easily do it during the day? Or if I can only do it before and after work, would it affect my recovery?
Also, could I ask for your email so I can pm you if I need more advise?
Thanks so much! and your legs look perfect, btw <3

Hi Beryltran04,

whatever stretches that can stretch calves, such as wall stretch, stair stretch.. etc

you have to stretch at work during break times, or else your recovery will be slow. I always need to get out of the office and stretch in the stair cases or hide in some corner to stretch.

you can message me for email.

Thanks for your compliment! :smile1:

If you calves are bigger then your body weight would be higher. Calves are the muscle groups that bear most of our weight so their size would increase if our body weight increases. So the only way to reduce your calves is to reduce your body weight.

Hi Andrea

I dont think this is true.

My gf is not slim for her torso but she has very slim calves cos her mum has slim calves too. Its genetics. No matter how much weight she puts on, her calves remain slim n sexy.

I have huge calves all my life regardless of my weight. Even when i lost some weight, my calf sizes do not go down.

Cheers.

Yes, I completely agree with you babyangel! It is a long time that I've been considering the other girls legs and even I would say most of the girls have skinny legs no matter how fat they are. I have seen a lot of girls who are not slim with big thighs, bellies which are full of fat but they got thin calves! A lot of my friends have never been slim in their life but they do have thin legs!
If those who have bulky legs loose weight, they might get smaller sized legs but the bulkiness won't get removed and bulkiness is basically what made us hate our legs!
So bulky legs can be either caused by genetics or physical activities that involve legs much.

Hi everyone,

i just book my calf reduction surgery date with Dr. Park on July 21. I will be staying at YoungDong hotel, just wanna see if anyone is going around that time.

Dr. Park quoted me 7,000,000 KRW for the surgery. Has anyone ever tried to ask him to lower the price a little? Since I think he keeps raising the price over time.

Hi guys... At what point do you go from bandages to compression stockings? Two weeks? Also at what point can you stop aspirations... A month?

I'm 3 months post op and am still wearing bandages. Dr. Park said bandages give better compression than the stockings so you should wear them as long as possible to achieve thinner calves. As for aspirations, I did it three more times after leaving seoul...approx. till 1.5 months post op? Hope this helps! :)

Hi ffxlulu,

Did you have the surgery with Dr. Park? If so, do you still have his contact or do you know where I can find it? I kinda want to contact him in advance for some medical related questions.
Btw, what is your email address? I couldn't find it from your profile :(
Thanks so much!

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:
http://www.amazon.in/OSIM-uPamper-OS-223-Handheld-Massager/dp/B00BQW6C5I/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

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.
