Calf reduction is a specialized aesthetic treatment designed to slim down bulky or muscular calves, resulting in a more refined and feminine leg contour. Particularly popular among individuals seeking a more proportionate appearance in heels, skirts, or slim pants, calf reduction in Gangnam offers both surgical and non-surgical solutions tailored to each patient’s anatomy and cosmetic goals—with natural-looking, lasting results.

🔹 What Is Calf Reduction?

Calf reduction refers to various techniques used to decrease the size and prominence of the lower leg muscles or fat, depending on the underlying cause of calf bulkiness. The most common non-surgical approach involves botulinum toxin (Botox) injections to relax overdeveloped calf muscles. For more permanent results or larger reductions, procedures such as selective nerve ablation or calf liposuction may be used. Each method is carefully selected to achieve a slimmer, more tapered leg profile while preserving natural movement and aesthetics.

🔹 What Concerns Does It Address?

Calf reduction treatments are ideal for individuals with:

• Thick or muscular calves that appear bulky in clothing
• Disproportionate lower legs compared to thighs or ankles
• Naturally wide calves due to genetics or athletic build
• Cosmetic desire for slimmer, elongated leg contours
• Limited shoe or fashion choices due to calf size

🔹 How Does It Work?

There are two primary methods used:

• Botox Injections: Temporarily weaken the gastrocnemius muscle, leading to a gradual reduction in muscle volume over 1 to 3 months. Results last about 4 to 6 months, with repeat sessions enhancing long-term outcomes.
• Surgical Options: Selective neurectomy (nerve ablation) or calf liposuction may be recommended for more dramatic changes. These procedures offer permanent reshaping but require a longer recovery period.

Your provider will determine the best approach based on calf composition (muscle vs. fat) and aesthetic preference.

🔹 Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a suitable candidate for calf reduction if you:

• Are bothered by the bulky appearance of your calves
• Have overdeveloped calf muscles from exercise or genetics
• Want a non-surgical or minimally invasive solution
• Maintain stable weight and good overall health
• Are seeking more proportional, streamlined legs

Botox-based reduction is especially popular among women seeking graceful, slender leg contours without downtime.

🔹 What Happens During the Procedure?

Duration: 20 to 40 minutes for Botox; 1–2 hours for surgery
Anesthesia: Not required for Botox; local or general anesthesia for surgical methods
Discomfort: Minimal for injections; manageable with post-op care for surgery
Facility: Performed in a certified aesthetic clinic or surgical center

🔹 Recovery & Downtime

Botox-based treatments have no downtime—most patients return to regular activities immediately. Temporary muscle soreness or tightness may occur for a few days.
Surgical calf reduction may require several days to a week of limited mobility, with swelling and bruising gradually subsiding over 2 to 4 weeks. Compression garments may be recommended.

🔹 When Will I See Results?

• Botox Calf Reduction: Initial slimming becomes noticeable in 3 to 6 weeks, with full results around 2 to 3 months.
• Surgical Reduction: Results are seen gradually over 1 to 3 months as swelling resolves, with final contour achieved in 4 to 6 months.

Maintenance Botox injections may be scheduled every 6 months to sustain effects.
