WORTH IT$9,800

Most of my life I was skinny, really skinny, so the fact that my legs were too didn't bother me so much. But as I began to gain some weight I went from welcoming the curves to combating them. At this point I am pretty happy with my overall size but would like to tweek some areas. I have inherited really think calves, when i would of preferred money...lol. I have seach the internet far and wide looking for someone that specializes in calf augmentation. this has proven to be a great task. I came accross three Doctors, the one I decided on is Dr Mendieta, because his liposuction work on how he contours your body is beautiful. I think its a plus that I can be rid of the fat in my abdomen area at the same time. Today is my surgery day, I am really excited and a bit anxious, I will post before Pictures and keep everyone posted on how the recovery process treats me.

Do you pay $9,800? can you put picture to see if you have scars on the legs(calves). I have the same problem and i don't want any calves implants and just want the something that you did, but i'm worry about the price that's a lot of money, and my job required to stand all day.

You've got great results.Your calfs are simulair to mine. Except my upperlegs are way bigger, so I really have chickenlegs. I'm going for round 2 BBL, this time with Pantoja. He doesn't do legs. I'm going to have to safe some money for round 3 and go to Mendieta. 9k is a lot! But you look great! Hope you still enjoying your body

Thank you. My legs have remained the same over the years and retained the fat, I am so pleased. At the time I was having it done I narrowed it down to three doctors and decided to go with doctor Mendieta for his record and not let price be the sole factor when making this decision. I didn't want to have to do this a second or third time, I wanted to be happy the first time. I believe in life you get what you pay for and when it comes to surgery I just cannot bargain hunt, it is just too important. I wish you all the best and happy healing with your upcoming precedure. :)

I am so glad to see a recent post from you! Sometimes people quit writing when things go bad; this means you retained your fat. You have given me the courage to have this procedure for my chicken legs, thank you so much!
Do you know how many cc's of fat were injected into your calves/legs?

Hi! I'm schedule to have my calf augmentation procedure next week. I'm getting very nervous and anxious about it. I have read so much that fat on this area is not likely to survive but you are a great example that when done correctly there r amazing results. I was curious, do u know if you fat was injected in the muscle area? It sounds like my doctor will it be doing it in the muscle as it is riskier and was wondering if yours wS injected in the muscle or not since you had great results. Thank you and I appreciate any info and tips you can give me as there isn't much info about this particular procedure and people who have done it and willing to share their experiences. Thanks again, hope you're doing well.

I meant will not be injecting it in the muscle area.

I had my surgery today, so its Day 1, so far so good. The staff a the office are amazing, I didn't feel nervous after got there. There were so accommodating and funny to, just love everyone. Dr Mendieta is so personable, I just love him. I woke up a little drowsy, which is expected, then they brought my friend who is my caretaker in to see me. I was able to get up on my own with really no pain just a little stiffness in my calves, but the nurse was right there in case I needed her. I had a few naps today in and out of sleep and when I got up I realized my calves felt a bit more stiffer than earlier. The Liposuction on my abdomen is a bit sore, more so tender to the touch. I know I must be swollen in my abdomen waist and back, but they look the same size before the surgery this morning, which makes me believe that he took alot out and my waist should be super tiny .........Yippie I'm so excited about that. My Calves have this type of sock that applies a little pressure, They look great now, hope the swelling doesnt go down to much there. I can't wait to wear a mini dress.......lol.. The first recovery day seems to be quite easy, but that was also the case with my breast augmentation. I am looking forward to the three week mark would should give me an idea of what I would look like with most of the swelling down.

you have a really cute figure hon! :-) Has the discomfort of all your swelling subsided by now, or are you still seeing this sometimes? I hope you are happy with your results!

Ok day two: wasnts all that bad, I think I made it bad. I had my first post of today, got up, put on my make up and a flared dress to hide my garment. Everyone in the office complimented me, I felt and looked great (of course still swollen and a little bruised). Today they changed my garment, even though they are expensive ($200) I was advised to buy two which was a good idea. The first one was soiled from all the drainage the night before. After i had help taking it off, which it wasnt hard, I was asked to sit because the nurse told mr patients tend to feel a little light headed when it comes off. I within 10 minute got a quick bout of nasea but only last for like 5 minutes and as a safety precaution my Doc gave me a anti-nausea shot. I love my Doctor. My Calves look great, just what I hoped for. The only issue is after being stationary, when its time to get up and walk around they get really stiff. They loosed up a bit but I still had that "frankinstien" walk....lol. I felt really good today just a little sore. so i decided to go in the mall, BAD IDEA. At first i was okay but then i think I stayed too long and pushed myself too hard, I felt so tired I didnt think I could make it to the car. I had a friend with me, she kept telling me to sit, but then I kept thinking how I get stiff so quickly so i rather pushed myself and headed for the car. Needless to say, i will be staying in tomorrow, resting. I was able to get up on my own today, I didnt spring up like i usually do, but felt great to have my independence so soon. Overall a good day.
