Calf Muscle Volume Reduction
1、Calf Reduction with Liposuction - This method of calf reduction is most effective with those whose calves are made up predominantly of fatty tissue, rather than muscle. The approach is quite simple; in it, excess fat is removed directly from the thighs, thus reducing their size directly. It also creates only a few, barely visible scars, and the recovery period is determined by how much fatty tissue is removed. This method is, however, not optimal for thighs with especially thick muscles, as liposuction can do only very little to reduce their size.
2、Calf Reduction with Botox Injections - This is one of the simplest methods of calf reduction, but it is also one of the most time consuming. This approach can temporarily reduce the prominence of the Gastrocnemius muscle–the muscle most prominent in one’s thigh–by injecting Botox into the muscle directly; noticeable results occur after about a week, as the motor nerves to the muscle become blocked by the injection. Patients must repeat this calf reduction process every four to six months in order for the effect to truly take hold, though. This procedure is simple and non-invasive, and it leaves no scar and requires little to no recovery period.
3、Calf Reduction with Radiofrequency Nerve Ablation - This calf reduction involves burning part of the Gastrocnemius muscle away to reduce its size. In this procedure, a Laser is used to inhibit part of the nerve that signals the calf muscle and allows it to grow. It results in fewer and smaller scars than surgically removing the muscle, although it can also cause some swelling that can last for several weeks. It may also leave the muscle weaker temporarily.
4、Calf Reduction with Partial Muscle Resections - Many prefer this calf reduction, because it is both safe and predictable, and it can allow the surgeon to more precisely shape the appearance of the thigh. It involves simply removing a portion of the Gastrocnemius muscle to decrease the thigh’s size. It does require a longer recovery period, however, and can leave a larger scar.
Remember that all surgeries carry with them certain risks.
Before making any definite decisions, it is important to speak with one of the specialists about calf reduction.
No matter what the approach, patients should also be prepared to take time off from work.
