How can I make my calves smaller?

[Fortunecat]

I just had my surgery yesterday and I’m in so much pain. The first few hours after surgery was the worse it hurt to breath. It’s been the most painful experience of my life. My calves and knees are sore and so is my back and arms I’m not sure why. I think I have a little fever too. Stretching is painful. Walking is painful. It’s hard to sleep. I brought percocets and still hard to manage the pain. I hope I’m happy with the results and won’t need a revision. Doctor Park said I have a lot of scar tissues from previous radio frequencies so it was hard for him to remove the muscle. And I’m experiencing more pain the most people go through.

Oh my. I hope you will feel better soon.
Does that mean radiofrequency is a no-no if one is going for calves reduction surgery?

The radio frequency was a big mistake. It was a waste of time and money at least in my case because I saw no results and I had it done 3times. It created scar tissue and it made my calves look even bigger and harder than they were before. It was very frustrating to find out the scar tissue kept Dr Park from removing a lot of muscle. Going through all this pain I hope my calves look smaller and symmetrical.

My calves look huge right now I hope it’s just the swollen. How long did it take for you gurls to notice the results?
Has anyone had the RF done a few times before the muscle resection? Were u happy with the results?

Day 3 after surgery. No pain just a little sore getting out of bed. Ugghhh I’m so annoyed..The inner part of my left calf is still so bulky. I’m so mad I did that stupid RF procedure a few times. Dr Liu did not informed me that it could result in scar tissue and make the calves look bigger. And now I’m stuck with no solution to my problem. Anyone here had RF done before the resection? Did you get good results?

Omg I cannot belive. Day 4 has been the most painful so far. I unwrapped my calves for the first time to take a shower and I’m extremely upset with the results. My calves look the same bulky and muscular. I was really hopping to have my calves straight but since the scar tissue I’m guessing dr Park wasn’t able to remove as much of the inner muscle. FML

Day 6 and the pain is only getting worse. It hurts when I lay down and it hurts to get up. Specially the back of my knees where the scar is. My feet and knees also hurt alot even to the touch. My toes hurt so much I can beraly walk. Even my tights and butt hurt. My arms are super sore probably because I been using it a lot to get outta bed and toilet. I don’t understand why the pain keeps getting worse. Anyone experienced this much pain on day 6?

Hey Ladies where yall at? I’m 7 days post op and now starting to feel a little better thank God. Haven’t got much sleep the past week at all cuz the pain peaked around day 4 and just now getting better. The back, the side and the front of my knees are very swollen, bruised and sore to the touch..My calves are just sore..the pain is way worse on my feet, my ankles are so swollen it hurts to walk. My heels are buised and very sore. The worse part is getting outta bed. I wake up hourly to stretch cannot sleep longer cuz the pain. The second I put my feet down I have a strong burning sensation that travels from my feet all the way to my thighs.. it takes about 45seconds to be able to stand straight and for the burning sensation to go away. So painful. I been taking meloxicam, ibuprofen, percocets and benadryl to help me calm down it helps but still painful. I cannot wait to be pain free. I hope the results are good and permanent
I have attached some pics it looks pretty bad anyone bruised as bad as me ???

I'm getting a quote from Dr. Su from Tampa Florida, he specializes in lipo and his results are incredible!! I've been watching his Youtube channel and I feel really confident about his work. You're awake during the surgery too which makes me happy! What do you ladies think? Their website is www.artlipo.com

Well you can have great results if your calves are mostly fat. For the rest of us that would not work as we have bulky muscle and very little fat.

Post-op: 4 months and a half
I do live a normal life, i do not feel pain or thightness anymore, unless i do not stretch enough. I can do sports (bike, hiking, cross country skiing, alpine skiing) exept running... i tried twice and it is painfull while doing it and for a couple of days following the run... As anyone experienced that kind of weakness? As anyone bean able to run 5 or 10km after this surgery?

Ladies, I’m 17 days post op and my calves have finally shrunk. I’m so excited! Left is now 32cm right is 33cm
My first aspiration had no fluid, second aspiration had I think 2ml and third aspiration no fluid. So I’m finished here heading back home now. It was an amazing experience. Everyone in Seoul was so nice. The food was good. Thank God for Dr Park I couldn’t thank him enough. His nurses were also very nice. I totally recommend this procedure with Dr Park. Even tho I almost died in pain during the first few days I can say it’s totally worth living happy with my calves for the rest of my life Now let’s hope I have a good recovery and long last results !
