Question for Dr. JLo, calf lift?

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?
