Botox helps.
I know a surgeon at Modelo Clinic is an expert in this area, but he is quite expensive as he is a very reputable surgeon and a top lecturer/professor at a top 3 Korean university. The people at the clinic also only speak in Korean.

Hello, I am thinking about getting partial muscle resection in the U.S and looking for someone who actually had this surgery in the U.S.

I went to see Dr. Perry Liu and he gave me three selections to reduce my calf size.

nerve ablation

nerve resection

partial muscle resection

I want to know if there is anyone in this forum had muscle reduction by him.

I saw a couple of messages of ppl who got nerve resection by him, but not with muscle reduction.

I wish I could do it in Korea where so many ppl had done this surgery so far. However I won't be able to fly to Korea to stay for 2 weeks realistically since I have 2 year old baby.

Hi evachan
Did you have your procedure with dr Liu? If so how did it go? I'm thinking about seeing him to have my calf reduction procedure done. Thanks for your input

I have one question, how do you know if your calves are big because of the fat or because of your muscles ? My calves are fairly big and I wanted to try lipo them first since I am not sure if calf reduction surgery is safe . Won't the surgery affect your muscles and may damage your walking ability in the long run ?

I'm stressed about choosing between him and dr park for my calf surgery this December! my email is [email protected] please please reply? also any of you ladies that had dr. park? could i see your results as well please?

my stats are currently 5ft2, 11st, 42cm circumference on each leg :/ I've been losing weight, I've lost 3stone so far, and I plan to get it done in December to give me enough time to lose an extra 3 1/2 stone!

Why is it so quiet on here ladies??

I've received 2 quotes for my combined surgeries so far.. one is £9900 this is with a 10% discount (if i pay in cash!) the other was £8600 (might be more depending on how much lipo I want) I'm nervous and very worried about who would be the best choice though, I can only find reviews of these surgeons on this site and I don't know if they are Board Certified.. I really do not want to fly all the way there and end up with a botched body :((((
HELP ME PLEASE!

Hello everyone,

I am new to this and I really hope to be able to participate in this discussion. I have been very embarrassed with myself for having such bulky calves.

I am from United Kingdom and I am thinking of having my calf-reduction surgery done in summer 2016. Am wondering if anyone is thinking of having the same operation done with Dr.Park this year?

Hi! I havent got it done but am planning on doing it this summer, August (If I get the money in time)
Most people on the forum who shared their experience do not seem to have permanent side effects

I picked up martial arts because it's something I've been dreaming about since I was young! And I'm glad I picked it up because it's so much fun but yeah, I do use my legs a lot. I actually use more of my left leg than my right, but I guess with any training, both would develop muscles :(

But it really depends on the shape of your muscles! My right calf muscle was pretty long to begin with so Dr. Park couldn't excise all of it. He says that the gastroblabla muscle isn't really needed for us to move about, that the muscle behind it will support our movements right? So I guess when we lead an active lifestyle, that gets muscular, and on top of my un-excised calf muscle... it's a horror :( I tried to take some pictures but the tiptoe part didn't come out quite right cox it's difficult taking them alone!

Hi, I've been considering the same calf reduction surgery with Dr. Park - my challenge is I have three little chihuahuas and can't leave them for two weeks in Korea (I live in Scottsdale, AZ). So I am now considering Dr. Perry Liu in Beverly Hills. I consulted with him by phone and by sending photos via email. For me he recommended a combo of lipo with RF (he said it's hard to say for sure based on just looking at photos vs an in person consult), and said the RF might not even be necessary. But I tell you, the Before/After photos from Dr. Park at OZ Clinic are amazing! So I'm not sure what to do...
