Day 14 - Post-op, new shoes!
My mom got me new shoes so I stop using Dr. Park's platform shoes (which made it easy to walk, but were so uncomfortable). First time I feel like a person when walking as it allows me to hide my limp down to 50% obvious. I still cannot stand or walk too much because my heels still dig but at least I am better.


Hi @amici1992 what shoes did your mum buy? brand, style etc. please?

I used to have huge calves because my high school was almost at the mountain lol
But I started yoga and pilates as soon as I became adult, and I love how it changed my body.
Yes, my weight is still pretty much the same, but it really stretched my bulky leg muscles.
If you want your calves to be toned, I recommend ballet as well.
Some people say ballet makes the calves bigger, but I think it only happens when you do it everyday as a professional ballet dancer. Doing ballet only 2~3days a week for a hobby can be nice toning exercise, not bulking up like cra cra.

Hi all not logged in later been very busy. Just read that nasty angry message from Vanity on 9 May. The message she incorporated was direct to Happy Challenger another user and did not mean I was 'happy' it was a reference to the person I was addressing.
'I' suppose that confused her. I have also confirmed on many occasions that bedside manners is not a must for me and she seems to have inferred I said the opposite. Never mind. Throughout my threats I have used the prefix 'I' which means that 'I' would not use a doctor who did not take enough and implies by the use of the word 'I' that it is my opinion. Intelligent person would never infer that I was 'getting at' other people's decisions as to who to you. People can say what they want but an intelligent person can ultimately form their own opinions.
Chocolax - for the avoidance of doubt that is another use - I had mine done at the same time as you and I have been using Babybio. The scars are still a little red but not too noticeable. Has the feeling returned to the sides of your feet? Mine is slowly returning but not completely yet but I read it can take up to one year.
By way of update my calves are going up and down a bit but to be honest have a good bit of fat around them as well. They ultimately look a lot slimmer but not sure if I have a bit of muscle developing at the back.

Dear all to correct myself I meant to say 'threads' not 'threats' in my email which is the last one on the forum Apologies for that it was late and I was annoyed at only just reading the nasty silly email from Vanity which showed her low comprehensive levels but she was bold to be confident about what she was had inferred I meant. I have started to use the compression stocking as I feel my legs are a little swollen at the moment. I had a walking holiday recently and walked miles in the heat at a high level. They are nor sore but swollen and someone said to me why are you ankles so swollen in surprise. Did not mention the op but told them I had been walking in 44degree at a high level.

Hi Choc

Yes I had it done at the same time as you and ankles still numb. I read it takes around 1 year for feeling to come back. Dr P had said one month but I did not quite believe that at the time. Sometimes I feel sensation and hope it is good sign but skin still numb. Are you happy with results. I think mine are going up and down. Not sure if I am having compensatory hyperatropy or it is swelling from the days activity. Anyway think will have to give it at least six months for the situation to stablise.

Hi, thank you for your post. Did you look up to 365m or Fresh before you decided on Dr. Park from OZ?

Dr J is not a sculptor, he was my surgeon. Who said they put on a brave face? Or did you think of that yourself? Don’t you mean we are all putting on a brave face? Well I am. I’m just going through a surgery to remove part of my calves. Even Dr Park himself said that sometimes calves get bigger after surgery, it usually doesn’t last. One or two cases it was unsuccessful. This isn’t just for park or Jong but both.

My legs were huge. Like bigger than anyone’s here and I knew this and chose dr Jong. I’m glad I did. I’m glad you are happy with your surgeon but the view you have put across on the board here is completely biased and misleading. It isn’t helpful to others, it was acually harmful until another member who has done this gave me help with reason not just bad mouthing. So I’m going to do what she did and tell you to stop too.

Dr Jong cut out about 400g off each calf of mine. Is that still too little for you? I don’t even think his bed side manner is that nice to be honest. It’s normal? Anyway, I was introduced to someone and Skyped them yesterday which made me feel so much better now because she showed me her legs and they were so nice. And her initial size wasn’t that big like 37 and he managed to it down to her ideal proportion which is 32 or something can’t remember. But it looks so good omg. She showed me old photos of her legs which was so kind of her cos she didn’t need to I think because vanitygirl told her how depressed I was. Haha omg. Anyway, the muscle she had was bulging out and unflattering like mine were pre op. Even though she was much smaller than me to begin with, I am so so relieved to see he addressed that problem for her perfectly. I don’t even wish mine is that small, I just want it to look like how I wanted it to look which is why i came in for this surgery.

This isn about sharing different opinion. You are putting things out there that are simply untrue. If this is your opinion, fine. I can say worse things about dr Park too.

Anyway, anyone else reading this. I just found a private chat group of about a dozen people who have done it before. They are all very nice and kind and supportive no matter what choice you make and I’m newest member they all are well recovered. Even the girl who had to get revision surgery as she wasn’t happy with dr park isn’t talking down on dr park. I don’t want to speak too much for her but I can ask if she wants to reach out when members could use the support.

Hi, your post is very helpful. Did you search 365m or Fresh in Korea?

Dear Passion No I never heard of Fresh or 365m in Korea. I could only find a few doctors in the world who actually did it. I am physically and mentally recovered from the op now.

Thank you Camber. 365m is in Korea who is specialized in Lipo but also does calves reduction too. I am trying to find more evidences of good results but most of people on here go to Dr. Park in OZ Korea or Dr. Jong in Taiwan.

If anyone is considering going to Korea for procedures other than calf reduction, I highly recommend Koun Clinic. Dr. Im has done way over 10,000 liposuction procedures and is an expert in her field. I had the worst saddlebags in the world and now they're gone. Yay! If I can just get these calves taken care of ^^

I can’t find Koun clinic website. Could you please post the link?
