im going to be getting both calves skinned. the only question is there any real risk of stretching of the cuts due to muscle growth. and can i still use the treadmill and other cardio machines while the cuts heal or would they become distorted

What do you mean by skinned? Do you mean flesh removal of your entire calves? If so I wouldn’t worry about the scar stretching, I’d worry about picking which hospital you’ll be staying in after. Flesh removal sections should never be wider that 1 - 2 inches wide, and ever that is pushing it unless you have extremely shallow removal depth.

If you’re just talking about smaller removal scarification I wouldn’t think stretching would be a factor unless it completely wrapped around your leg. And even then it wouldn’t be a big deal.
