hi blossoms,

great to hear from you!

yes, i went over to korea in august, alone - all by myself.

well, it's a long story.
i didnt get my surgery done with dr park, but i'm considering dr jong next year.

i choose dr jong, because he'll take the shape of my calves into consideration.

i'll prefer a better looking shape of my legs, rather than just removing the bulging muscle. because dr park mentioned that my legs will look bowed, if i just remove the G. muscle.

please contact me at xxx Please don't post your email address publicly, but use our PM system

i'll like to keep in touch with you.
and trust me, going over there alone isnt going to be as easy as thought.
much more without much support.
i went over, without telling anyone my intention of the surgery. it was tough. but i'm glad to meet steph, and a lady (who had surgery with dr jong) i kept in touch through emails.

hope to hear from you soon!

hi kren

i noticed your discussion with blossoms about Dr Jong - i was just wondering whether you have now been to visit Dr Jong in Taiwan or if not when you are planning to go? i am also considering having the operation with Dr Jong

hi christy2,

my plan was to go over taiwan early this year, but i cant.

pushing my plan to the later part of 2012. i'm hoping to save enough by then.
and get rid of more fats, before i head over to dr jong for the surgery.

how about you?

i'm definitely in for the surgery, but it's a matter of time, and i hope to have some company too.

Hi Kren
Thanks for your reply - I would like to go as soon as possible not wishing to suffer another summer hiding my calves! However I really need to save some money first - I am not sure that I would do the trip alone either though could not find anyone who was planning to visit Dr Kong. I have been very pleased with the information he has provided so far. Have you shared your plans with family and friends? What area are you from - would you be willing to travel together I definitely want to go this year...

Hi what time of year were you thinking of going? also roughly how much does Dr jong charge for the operation? if it is cheaper i may go with him then as already this is costing too much

Hi christy,

happy new year to you too yes, i am trying to move all my plans. but my weight is not shifting enough! I gained weight over the last 2 years so I have to shift that first before the ops. im very tempted to just go now but then i know i will always wonder later if the results would have been better if i had lost more weight before. the earliest possible for me is late march and for that, i think i need to confirm by late feb with Dr Park.

hi chirsty2,

of course i would love to have company.
cause i tried traveling to korea dr park alone, and it failed. support from similar company would do good.

i havent, and dont intend to share it with my family/friends. cause it's very difficult for them to accept the fact of cosmetic surgery. i'm from singapore, part of the asian culture.
moreover, i'm an adult already, and think i'm responsible for my own actions.
i definitely need to save up too.

it'll be good if we good contact through private mail.

hi - can i ask why it failed with Dr Park? What has Dr Jong offered that is different?

it would be lovely to stay in contact and yes I would be happy to send you email - not sure how to send private message via this forum so that I can forward email - have you managed to do this as yet?

hi lil_tiga

I feel that it is important for you to go with the Dr who is best able to achieve the end result you are hoping for. Dr Jong has quoted me 3200 uk pounds to also include liposuction on knees and ankles where required to improve overall shape. I have been pleased with his reponse to my emails so far and he has been most helpful and informative however it is an important choice to make. I think that the flights and stay may cost aprox 1000 pounds though have not explored this in detail.

i definitely wish to travel this year and think that it would be better to go either spring or autumn due to it being cooler and wearing thicker clothes.

I thought that there was no answer to this problem until i googled one day and found out about the operation and then the forum link. It has been a massive help to find people who have lived a similar experience and have knowledge of the operation. I have lived the majority of my life since adolesence, wearing trousers and long dresses, and avoiding situations during which i would need to expose my legs. Those around me have no idea of the extent i am troubled by this. Sorry to go on so much but what i am trying to say is that i am desperate to get operation done this year if possible.

I do not think that i would have the confidence to go it alone and the only way i could justify having an operation to my husband would be by saying i was having liposuction and that it was cheaper abroad. In which case he would be more agreeable to know that i was travelling with someone else going through the same thing. Let me know how you go on with your decision making - good luck!!

Hi Kren, i feel so sorry that you had to go through so much, travel all the way to Korea and not have it done. I hope Taiwan will be successful. I have the same question as christy. What did Dr Jong offer that Dr Park did not? Was it the soleus? Because I know Dr Park will not touch that. Was it lipo? Because I asked Dr Park if I needed any and he said no.

Girls, to share these, I want everyone to read so this is in bold THERE IS A CLINIC IN GERMANY BUT THEY DO TOTAL AND NOT PARTIAL RESECTION. They could not explain to me why so I decided not to even ask further. I was just curious and looking around. Be careful ok? Always check and keep asking questions cos we only want to go to the best doctors. Just my humble opinion, but you are worth every penny you spend, so save up and go for the best. Be patient and dont go to just the cheaper alternative unless it is the right one for you.

scaredcat,

yeap. it was kind of a trauma. but i'm glad i met steph over there, to help me through emotionally.

anyway, i chose dr jong, cause he's more into the shape of the legs, rather than just removing the muscle.
like you mention, dr park doesnt touch the soleus, which he said my legs will look bowed. i wont want that.
my concern is the shape of my legs, and not just the muscles. thus, i gave up in the end, and research about dr jong after that.
