I scheduled the surgery as soon as I found out about Dr. Liu’s practice. I always hated my calves and wanted to slim them down, however after 9 marathons and one Ironman, they only grew bigger and bulkier, that was when I knew I needed a surgical option. I found Dr. Liu through google and then read reviews on RealSelf. I had my consultation over the phone (I live in NYC), and picked the earliest possible procedure date. Now, three months later, I couldn’t be more happy with my results. My calves were 38.7 cm (left) and 39.5 cm (right), and now they are 37.1 cm and 38 cm. This is one of the best decisions of my life!

Are the results permanent?

I’ve only had it for about 6 months so I cannot say whether it’s permanent. I’ve heard some people need to go back for touch ups

Really love to see a photo of the back of calves after procedure to compare

My calves didn’t reduce much, ~1cm each, but they look much more smooth, especially on the left side. I’m very happy with the surgery, but as always, I want to further improve my calves and make right side even smaller to match the left, so I plan to have a second surgery at some point (possibly March to June in 2019).

About one year after my surgery, I love my calves. They are not super small, but soooo much better than before and I have so much confidence wearing shorts and working out. I measured them today and it's left 37cm and right 37.5cm, more than 1cm reduction on each side!

How is your health? I’m wondering about side effects with RF. Looks great!

It's great, I think after almost 3 years my ability to walk and run was unaffected by now
