I did yoga after a month. Yoga will help your recovery.

You may stop wearing bandages after half a year. I still wear them at night, yet it's not necessary, I am just scared they will turn big.

Thanks... Wow. It really is a long recovery process. Btw i got the calf stretcher you recommended. Love it already. Im sure will be most helpful after the surgery.

Thanks Leela16!
You can look at my previous posts for the before pictures, because I don't have any pictures of my old calves anymore.
I went for partial resection of gastroc.
I chose Dr. Park.

Hi ffxlulu,
I went to see your picture before and after. They are really good! 7 days post op, you don't seem to have much scar, just 2 small ones. I am personnaly going for the laser nerve blocking surgery as it is cheaper and less recovery time.
Anyone here know of this surgery?
I hope the result will be ok too, even if they say that the muscles can grow back with time. I haven't choosen the doctor yet, still inquirying around.
How much did you pay for your surgery? (sorry if you have mentionned it already in your earlier posts, i did not read everything...)
Cheers :smile1:

Hi ffxlulu,

I will have calf surgery with dr. Park on July 22. Will bandage and stockings be provided to patients or I have to bring it myself? Do you have any tips for me (what to bring, etc) before the surgery? I'm really appreciated.

Hi i dont know if putting the calves under warm water would work or not.

But i have tried calf lipo - n i couldnt see results n i ended with "dent" on my calf.

I tried Botox a handful of times - i didnt observe any obvious results too. For botox i think if your calves are the muscular type which you can see the "defined" muscles then it might work better.

Cheers.

they will provide you bandages and a pair of stockings.

Another suggestion I would give you is to take supplements that can help heal scar tissues since you will be doing a big surgery. I have been taking nutrients lessons and I totally regret I did not take those before.

One I recommend is called Bromelain Plus. You can order this here:

You can message me for more information about this.

Hi Danny85

Did you do muscle resection for your Calf surgery OR did you go for Calf Liposuction?

Which surgeon did you do it with?

Cheers
