Hi lovu, I think most of the girls here now are considering partial resection and not RF calf reduction. As far as I understand, that is more dangerous as more possible complications. The scar from resection will go after some time...

hi at the moment i'm thinking i'll go to Dr park last week of march and stay 10-14 days. @scaredcat where are you travelling from? any idea when you are aiming to have the procedure? just because i have just spent the last 2 hours looking through past threads and most people say don't do it alone so would be great if we went at the same time. I haven't emailed dr park yet though

Hi, thanks to everyone for sharing. I’m new to this forum but I have benefited from the information here & would like to share my experience.
I had both RF nerve ablation (1x) and RF muscles ablation (2x) done between 2007 – 2009 but saw no results in reducing my calf size. In fact the shape change to asymmetry, where my outer calf is thicker than the inner. I finally decided to do the procedure with Dr Jong last week.

The day before surgery, I meet up with Dr Jong for consultation. He looked at my calves, took photos & measurement & used ultrasound to assess the 3 muscles thickness. He drew markings on my calves & then went through the surgery plan with me. For my case, he suggested to include liposuction for my knee & calf too to give better results. I’m asked to fast from 12 midnight onwards.

The next morning Dr Jong repeated the examination & ultrasound one more time before surgery. I’m then taken to the operation room, scribe down from back down to disinfect the area. Dr Jong inserted an IV drip for antibiotic & other drugs administration during surgery. The anaesthesiologist arrived to give the spinal injection & within minutes the legs were numb. Dr Jong started to perform the surgery, other than some pulling sensation, there was no pain at all.

After the surgery, a drain was put in each insertion to drain the blood. Dr Jong asked me to lie in bed for at least 24 hrs (no sitting up). He said to rest the leg & to prevent back pain from spinal injection. A catheter was inserted to drain urine, so no need to go bathroom. He checked on me almost every few hrs to make sure everything was ok. 1st night will have to stay at his clinic.

I stayed at his clinic for another night cos I was sensitive to the anaesthesia & started to feel nauseous ½ way through the surgery & was throwing up until Day 2. On day 3 I went back to hotel. I rested with legs elevated most of the time. Only walk when necessary to go toilet or for check-up. Pain wise was bearable but have to limp a bit. On day 7 calves pain were slightly worst & Dr Jong aspirated my calves for the 1st time.

In terms of size, I went from 36.5cm to 33.5cm right after surgery. Dr Jong told me that 33.5cm looks natural in my case. Any smaller will make my calf looks funny. Currently due to swelling, the size is ~35cm. Shall see how it goes after 1yr when I fully recovered.

Hi, been reading the posts again and maybe reading too much!!!!!!! I am scared of needles girls. Well, who isnt? First, anaesthetic and now the aspiration. Is there anyone here who is scared of poking? I wrote to Dr Park and he said will have to do at home. That I know but I thought I would stay on a bit longer so he could aspirate but I read and read that sometimes you may need to aspirate for long. Just thinking of it makes my hands sweaty now. Anyone who is afraid of needles and managed to do it? Wahhahaha. Maybe I should stop reading and imagining.

Hey Ladies,

There is a lady who went to Dr Jong of Taiwan, doing lipo at the knees,ankle area and calf reduction, I wanted to do lipo too at the ankle and calf reduction with Dr Park, but he discouraged the lipo cos he said irregularities of the surface of the skin are very high, and i have consulted anther lipo Doctor saying also the same thing that many Doctors dont perform lipo and calf or ankle area due to the high chances of irregularities....

So its there any ladies out their done it with Dr Jong and whats the outcome??

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...

New to the forum!
just wanted to contribute with a very interesting article on how SNSD and girl groups maintain their legs, don't know if its true or not but still an interesting read...has anyone ever tried these shots? kind of sounds like the alternative to the evasive route of calf reductions...hmm

hi ! dr. oz sent me to this forum - and, i'm doing some homework here. i'd like to sign up for the calf reduction surgery in april 2012. who is going also ?

this is quite some forum, lots of anectdotal experiences we all can learn from.

it is more my calves that are larger, they measure around 14"-15", that is 35.56- 38.1 cm . Last time I checked this..


i'm so obsessed to reduce these calves, i've spent probably around 100 hours...

did anyone every have calf surgery with dr jong? it seems like within the whole thread, only one person went through the whole surgery with him and everyone else is just enquiring. if you've had surgery with him, please reply and if you can send me a photo of your bf and after. i just wanna see if he will be able to perform the surgery on me since my calf muscle is much more hypertrophic then most of the girls on this forum. mine are 39 cm and hypertrophic on both lateral and inner sides of the calf. i just don't want to end up wasting money if the surgery is not really gonna make a difference. no body should thanks so much

Girls, I'm booked for it. Cant tell you the date yet as am waiting for Dr to confirm. Very nervous now. Can't sleep. Now the nitty gritty.

1. Which airlines? Been hearing Finnair. Am flying from London.
2. Also, I read somewhere that the mobile does not work in Korea. As in there is no roaming etc etc. Not sure what is the problem. Basically, I have to make calls to UK and other countries and yet sound like I am in the UK. Argggh. Because no one knows what I am doing and I am not sure I can take the stress if I have to deal with terrified friends, family, colleagues etc. Just need to do this alone or with someone here who understand yeah? :) So I am very interested to hear from someone who dealt with this "concealment" problem.

Anyone from the UK who has done this, I know a few so I am going to PM but anyone anyone who has done this or who has bright ideas etc, please PM me. Now that I have booked, this is all I can think of....

Btw girls, thanks for the support. Everyone of you who responded and PMed. Really big thank you. To actually get me to this point of decision and booking. You know no one else really gets it so all I told were 2 friends and both not really for it. The other people, wont even dream of telling them. So, whatever good happens is due largely to the support I have received here. Love and kisses to all.

:D what month are you going? also the concelament thing would be very useful for me too so if anyone has any ideas? maybe you could pretend your phone isn't working and ask people just to email you for now? but i guess they might still try your home phone. i'm sure there's a simpler way. good luck!!
