Hi babyangel11


Thank you for your information. I was trying to find out more in other threads but I probably missed it. I will be leaving to Seoul next weekend, 13th Oct for my consultation and surgery. I have already decided on the clinic to have my eyes, nose, fat grafting and calves done.


I have not gotten an exact idea of what I should do yet but I think I should be able to get a clearer idea when I am there. I had a Skype consultation and it seem the NICR is one of the newer and better non invasive methods with no down time.


I will update when I get there.

Hi MelDestiny

Yes would be great if you could update us about this NICR method. I dont mind to hear about it despite i have already gone for my calf resection surgery.

This may be a little bit off topic but just to check which clinic in Korea have you set your eyes on for your few surgeries to be done? Which surgeon too?

All the best! ;)

Thank you ladies! It's 2am in Soeul; I'm lying in the recovery room, can't sleep.... Had my surgery at 10am, woke up in the recovery room around 2pm with awful pain. The nurse gave me a shot of pain med in my IV which put me to sleep, woke up two hours later, still in lots of pain. Sent hubby back to the hotel around 6pm, poor thing hasn't eaten all day, told him to get something to eat and some very needed rest. So I'm here alone..... Did my first stretching around 9pm, OMG, I was so nauseous, the nurse told me it's from the pain and to lie down, no more stretching till tomorrow.
Questions for the ladies who had the surgery...is it normal to feel this much pain? It seems the pain meds that they gave me doesn't do much. Any suggestions as what to do? Thank you for all of your support.

Hi Madison

Everyone is so different. I didn't have much pain but in saying that.. I took pain killers even I feel no pain. LOL. So if you want, you can take pain killers 3 times a day for the first 3 days. That's what I did.

Thank you icecoffee and kiki12345! I'm in much lesser pain today, however, I'm totally freckling out....I took off the bandage ealier...it looks deformed....it looks like some animal had taken a big bite in the middle part of my leg. The top and the bottom are much bigger than the middle where the muscle is removed. Is this normal?

I think it is pretty normal and it will get better. Mine wasn't so bad though. It is also depending on how much has been removed. Did u measure it?

Hi icecoffee, I haven't measure it....just really scared me when I took the bandage off this morning. The part where the muscle is removed is totally sunken in, depressed. My legs do not look straight, it looks like someone cut a piece of my leg off right in the middle.

Why did you take the bandage off? I didn't take it off till 4 day post op...my left leg looks fine with the ugly bulge gone, right leg still swollen but in general I think the shape is ok....I think you should just give it a bit more time...be patient and stretch!
