Calf Botox – The best treatment for calf reduction

Posted by John Smith on April 7th, 2022

Calf reduction plays a minor role in plastic surgery, compared to breast augmentation, breast reduction, tummy tuck, etc. However, due to the thickness of their calves, a large number of people (mostly women) experience similar suffering as women undergoing breast augmentation for too small breasts, or women who undergo breast augmentation. undergo a breast reduction due to their tall size.

This article is intended to inform you about the possible options. Ultimately, the decision to undergo one or another procedure will depend on subjective suffering.

We must not fail to mention the possibility of reducing the calves using calf reduction Botox. Botox is a neurotoxin that causes muscle paralysis. It is today the standard method for the treatment of expression wrinkles, but it also has other indications, for example, for calf muscle reductionBotox is applied without anesthesia through various incisions in the muscle (10 to 15 on each side).

Advantages:

- Barely invasive, no scars.
- The treatment is easy to apply and does not require surgical skills.
- No recovery phase is necessary.
- If the result is not satisfactory, after a few months the calf muscles return to their previous state.

Can a calf correction be achieved through liposuction?

Calf reduction through liposuction is a good treatment alternative when the increase in volume is caused by an accumulation of adipose tissue. The amount of excess adipose tissue can be measured by anyone, even if they are not a doctor, by pinching the tissue between two fingers. If only skin is being pinched, the calf contains predominantly muscle. A calf reduction using liposuction is not very promising in this case.

What reasons are there for calf reduction?

The technique used for calf reduction depends on the cause of a calf that is too thick. Often it is just a simple accumulation of adipose tissue, so calf reduction can be achieved by liposuction.

However, it is also common for the gastrocnemius muscle to be too bulky, in which case liposuction is not effective. In the case of muscular dystrophy, extreme thickening of the calf can be observed. Muscular dystrophy is a hereditary disease that presents different forms. Since the problem here does not focus on the aesthetic aspect, a surgical reduction of the calf would not make sense.

There are also internal factors that cause thick calves, such as fluid retention or lymphatic obstruction (lymphoedema), and they still require internal treatment.
