Two years ago, I had surgery at ㅎㅍㅅ, which is famous for calf reduction surgery!
The pain was worse than I expected, so I cried during the surgery.
I remember having a hard time moving step by step because I had no strength in my calf muscles after the surgery. I think the price was around 250?
It takes 1-2 months after surgery for your steps to become more natural. I even heard a friend who was walking with his arms crossed ask why he was limping.
The effects appeared gradually within two weeks and lasted for a year, but since the muscles were constantly used, they gradually recurred. After that, I got Botox on my calf twice (once a year. The Botox effect seems to last about 5 months), but now I just manage it by stretching and eating less high-salt foods. I think it's true that the calf is God's territory... The auxiliary muscles around the surgery area have developed, and now I have some external muscles...ㅠㅠ I
plan to get Botox on my calf before next summer, and I plan on continuing to get it in the future. I was born with extremely developed calf muscles, so I don't regret having the surgery and I think I would do it again if I could go back to that time. So, if there is someone who wants to have a reduction surgery, I don't want to stop them because I know it is a huge complex. However, please understand that swelling is not a problem if you stand or walk for a long time, so please bear with it. Just because you have surgery is not the end! You must continue to manage it...
