Hi kiki12345
I have this weird shape of the middle part of the calf with muscle bulging out from the Side view ever since the surgery. Im coming to 8 months post op.
Oh no! 8 months post-op still? What did dr. Park say?? I've been massaging it as he suggested but so far it's not helping...
It will be 4 week post op in couple days. Walking is getting much better but not completely back to normal yet. Going upstairs is good, but going downstairs is a different story. My husband did the second aspiration and extract 8cc, guess there is more aspirations store for me... LOL! I'm glad that I went through with the surgery even though my legs are still swollen and it's early in my recover journey. I slipped on a pair of tall boots couple days ago, can't believe the difference a couple of cm makes. I'm a happy girl and can't wait till the day when all of swelling disappears. For now, more stretches for me.......and patience.
Hi kiki12345
Park didnt ask me to massage. Im not sure if you and me are having the same issue or probably different?
I have even tried to bandage around that specific buldge very tightly but it didnt help
The bulge kind of pops out a bit n it still does.
Hmm...does it hurt? Mine is in the middle of calf and it hurts a bit. I don't know how long I wait till it disappears...or whether it disappears at all...Hi kiki12345

Hello People.
So I'm thinking about having the calf muscle reduction surgery at OZ clinic in Korea. I'm going to head over to Korea next February for over a year teaching English. Now I'm going to assume that most people on this forum who have had calf muscle reduction surgery have had the surgical procedure done on BOTH calves right? Well in my case, I'm thinking of doing it one just ONE calf
Why just the one calf you ask?
My right calf is much bigger than my left calf and this is due to a number of reasons. I believe the main reason is due to the fact that I have a leg length discrepancy of 2cm (Left leg shorter than right leg). I have never realised that one leg is shorter than the other until recently. My legs are pretty messed.. I have knock knees as well...
I'd love to know whether anyone else has just had the surgery done on one calf and whether anyone can give me any general advice? This is a very big decision and I definitely will need to research more about this surgical procedure.
Thank you for reading,
Jon

Jon25: Hi! I tried really hard to respond to your specific post, but to no avail. I'm obviously new to this site, let alone to this forum, but I've been reading it for the past few days. I wanted to ask when you thought you would be going in February to get it done, if you decide to get it done? I am also planning on February, but like the beginning of the month. How strange that a person wanting to go in February, like me, is also only wanting to do the one calf. I also plan on just doing my right calf. If you plan on doing this, let's coordinate it so that we can go in together since we seem to be in the same predicament!!
Also, to everyone else, if I post short replies or messages, it's because I'm trying to get to the 10 posts. Please bear with me.

Hello lu1u!
Sorry for the delayed reply. You may have noticed that the website was down for maintenance so I couldn't make a timely response.
Wow, first of all, may I ask you why do you also want to do it on one calf? I'm 80% decided on doing the surgery! I just need to consult the doctors and ask for advice before I take the plunge. Although I am going to Korea in February, I won't have enough money to fund the surgery immediately. Furthermore, I will be starting a job (teaching English) very soon when I get to Korea so I am not sure when I will find time to perform the surgery and take a break from work for recovery! I'm very happy that I can relate to someone regarding the issue with my legs/calves! Please keep in touch! My email address is [email protected] if you prefer to message me via email.
Hi Rinda. With any surgeries, there are risks, even in what may seem minor operations. Most people here who have chosen or wants to do this calf surgery are here because they have probably tried many different ways to correct their issues before resorting to surgery. I understand that you're trying to be helpful, but to most people in this specific forum, this may be our only option now--and having people tell us we should try other things, just seem a bit judgemental. Please don't take this as some form of attack; I'm in no way trying to be rude to you. I just wanted to inform you that most of us have come to surgery as some a last resort.I heard from my friend reducing calves is quite dangerous..
why don't you do stretching and exercise instead of surgery? it will be better i guess
Hi jon25!
I'm just writing you here to let you know that I'm about to contact you through your e-mail. Just trying to rack up some posts on this site.
Hey ya'll...I dont' know much about calf reduction but I've been thinking about it for a while.. I'm wondering if anyone knows what would but the most common side effect outside of the usual soreness? Not meaning to be negative but I just wanna be mentally prepare
