Question for Dr. JLo, calf lift?



Recommended Posts

Hi there, thanks in advance for looking at my question. I am wondering if there is such a surgery as a calf lift? I'm almost at goal and going for brachioplasty and breast augmentation next month. I carried a LOT of weight on my legs/calves and developed a lot of stretch marks on the backs of my calves. I have floppy calves now, just like my arms! If there is such a surgery, what does it entail and what kind of scars are involved?

Thank you!

Hi Buffie,

I was curious about this too. I actually tried to research a bit online, and all I could find was reference to calf reduction by shaving the muscle :D , which is apparently done more often in Japan. Hmm...I'd rather keep searching out "wide calf" boots than to have my calf muscles shaved!

Been a long time since this post was bumped - Does anyone know anythign about calf reduction?

I'm not 100% sure they do one (due to it being the second heart returning blood UP etc) But - As I have now Had the Brachioplasty, the Breast reduction and joined the Inverted T club - My legs are the next thing to tackle.......

Anyone?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
