Jackkki, I can't send private msg's yet...and I stupidly didn't take any good before pics. I will see if Dr Park can send me the ones he took. If you want to PM your email I will try to send them to you. I can recieve PM's just can't send...

i've seen pictures of girls who went through with the surgery and their legs came out a bit asymmetrical. that's what i'm most worried about. i've only heard of girls coming out paralyzed from the surgery (that's my greatest, ultimate fear) but it seems like the surgery is quite common in korea and taiwan. plenty of girls have gone through with it and dr. park has been in the field for several years now. don't be nervous! we're all here for you. when i go through with it, i'm hoping there'll be people i can count on too. be careful about how many painkillers you take. i'm studying in the medical field and overdose ore reliance on any drug, especially painkillers, can be detrimental. don't get addicted! that'll affect the rest of your life! so be careful!
much love and strength x

hi, mwf, thanks for the support and advise on skype. the paralysis cases, which clinics are they? do you remember? so we can avoid. im pretty sure dr park is 100% till now. in fact, he is the best but i think it will be good to know which doctors are not good so we know which to avoid. good luck to you too. i hope u find what you want soon.

it was only liposuction of thighs and arms. I'm planning on doing the calf reduction surgery also and contemplating between dr jong and dr park.

hi jackkki, thanks for reply. good luck. hope u decide soon. there is one lady who did lipo and calf reduction with dr jong and she posted here. if you search "jong" you should be able to find her. she's a very brave one who went alone and did all that!!!

Hey everyone,

Much better day today. I'm still having a hard time walking but it's do-able with the 2" wedges. I went to see Dr P and the nurse masaged my legs (left is way more swollen and sore) and then aspirated them both. I always feel better coming back and laying down after a small outing - even if its just to the clinic. I'm really starting to see the difference in my legs expecially after the aspiration! I have no regrets so far and know that once I see the end result I will be a changed person. I've spent such a long time being SO insecure about my calves and never thought it was something I could change. My advice to anyone who has also felt this way...don't waste anymore time - do it! Don't get me wrong I am a dancer and have basically been on my tip toes since I was 3, I am very naturally muscular... 6 pack abs without doing sit ups (which I don't mind :P) and I love shapely muscular legs on ladies, I think they're sexy - but mine over the years had definitely over deveoped to the point where I couldn't wear what I wanted because I couldn't handle people staring at my legs. I think a lot of it's perseption and we are all probably our own worst critic...anyway, day 8 and if I had to do it all again I wouldn't think twice :)

thanks. i think I'm planning to go this may 2012. the only thing is that i've been reading this forum over and over and have only read two people that went to dr jong and everyone else went to dr park. But i know I have a wide soleus and dr jong will be the only one to fix it. It is difficult because it seems as if there is not much information on the surgery except that only these two doctors perform it. It is also hard due to the fact that I am going to another country to perform surgery that cannot be fixed in my country if something goes wrong. I do not know how the regulations work in taiwan or korea on plastic surgery especially if your a foreigner. I've seen a lot of horror stories of plastic surgery in mexico on the news but i don't know how it is in asia. Im not trying to scare anyone but just being realistic and stating what I know. though i may go through with the procedure blind and ignorant, I feel that I just need to do it. I'm sure that many feel that way in this forum but it is important to tell at least one person you are going through with the surgery, where, the hotel & clinic number, and the days you will be gone for in case something happens. we all need to be safe at least in that way.

37cm right and 40cm left - I'm 5'6" 130 pounds

Its too hard to tell with the swelling how hany cm lost but my right calf looks great already and I asked him if he took out a lot more on my left and he said 'double' so I'm assured it's just the swelling! I will let you know how my progress goes :)

Hi dancinmama do you mind emailing me at [email protected] some details as I'm deciding whether to book with dr park or dr Jong now and have consulted both of them.

Would like to find out a little bit more from you before I decide! Hope you will be free to share and thank you for the help!

I'm going with dr jong bc i have a wide soleus that is buldging on the lateral upper portion of my legs and he's the only one that can work with that. no point in going with dr park if he can only make the medial part smaller. I'm planning on going either may or june

Hi jackki

I'm also considering dr Jong as he takes into acc the whole shape.

U can email me at [email protected] and we can liaise.

It's only bcos he doesn't have much reviews here that I'm not sure. But otherwise I'll be ok doing with either. I just would like to find out more on cost wise how much in total including accommodation and transport before I decide but I'm definitely going to book for end may. First wk june :)

Hope to see you too!
