Hi Chococatx - good stuff seems like you are doing well. Always like to hear of people on their feet after this sort of experience. What is the temperature like in Seoul at the moment. Are you managing to work around the shopping areas, and do a bit of sightseeing.
How can I make my calves smaller?

Hi @camber It is very cold, so I would bring a thick jacket. I can walk but very slowly and limping, so not much. I think it is much better to rest and stretch and walk around at short times.
Both outer sides of my feets are numb with no feeling, so that’s really uncomfortable and I hope the feeling comes back.
But then again, it’s only been three days since surgery.
Hello all!
Sorry for the lack of updates!
I am doing ok right now. I still have occasional tightness at the back of my legs in the morning and numbness at the side of my left feet. Other than that, I am normal. My legs are definitely less bulky than before and I can feel that wearing boots is a lot easier
I look good in skinnies now but wearing skirts is still...meh. Maybe it’s just the way my calves are genetically? I look tapered and I don’t find them shapely. They still look thick from the sides. You can DM me for pictures. I lost about 3cm on both sides.
Lipo on my thighs is alright. Dr park took out fats from the sides of my thighs but not the front - sth which I am not too satisfied with. There’s still a chunk of fats in my front thighs.
Those who are going through the surgery..best of luck! The first 2 weeks are the worst. It gets so tight and painful when you stretch. But just force yourself to stretch..cus if you don’t, dr park will push you against the wall which is superrrrr painful.
Try to kill time by watching some dramas and it will take your mind off the surgery. If you are scared of the pain, remind doc to numb your calves with ice before aspiration. It helps a lot if your pain tolerance is low.
All in all, I would not go through calf reduction again if I had the choice. But since I have already done so, I don’t exactly have a choice haha! As for lipo, I did not regret my decision but I wished dr park had taken out some from my front thighs. Ahhhh well, I’ll def be staying away from invasive procedures for some time!

Hello girls!
Haven't posted in a while but followed this forum for probably years! just a girl dreaming of slimmer calves and a practical solution. I was just wondering, those that are from the UK that have travelled to korea for calf reduction, how come you went all that way and didn't try out the PS in Germany who offers calf reduction surgical options? Its A LOT closer. The clinic is called yuveo clinic. His name is Dr Schumann. If anyone has had any contact with this Dr regarding calf reduction, can you let us know what happened/thoughts? I wish people psoted more of their before and afters on here

Can i confirm that the calf reduction u did doesnt make u happy enough because of the shape or reduction of the size? I'll be grateful if you can share me before anf after photos i'm planning to do on this end of january in korea.
Heres my current at 9 weeks post op.
Hi
Thanks alot for the reference. Its not shapely but i guess its because of swelling? I have muscle plus alot of skin on my calves after liposuction hope dr park can do skin removal as well.
There definitely is a reduction in my calves just that I am not satified with the shape of my calves. I am not sure if I am still swollen or either that, its just genetic. I have attached photos of before and after in the previous post.
I think you will need to wait 3 months for swelling to go down. When i did liposuction i can see the result 3-4 months after the swelling is completely gone. Hope you have the best result after a few more months!
Thanks Camber. Strange that he wouldn't do muscle reduction. I'm seriously thinking about going with Perry Liu in Los Angeles. He has a website 'calf reduction specialist' dedicated to women with large muscular calves. Has anyone been to him either? any consults? I'm waiting back from an email. X

I had skype consultation with him $150 and he tries to recommend the new RF nerve blocking method. To me this is another waste of time as nerves can regenerate and the dr cannot be very precise on the nerves killed off. Nerves grow back again so the muscle would regenerate. it is another temporary method as far as I am concerned.

Hi Camber,
I Heard back from his staff and they were pushing the radio frequency too. It felt like they were putting me off resection as the email read that you'd be bed ridden for 2 weeks with resection, however after reading many, many stories of people having this, people have been up and walking about day 3/4 (albeit slowly). I asked for before and afters but only got one. I cant believe they dont offer any surgical intervention for calf reduction in the Uk or europe.
