Botox Calf Reduction Permanent
Feminizing your calves can be challenging, especially for women with thicker muscles. However, there are many safe and reliable solutions available to help you get slimmer, more feminine-looking calves. One of the most effective and non-invasive options is botox for calf reduction. This treatment involves a few injections of the botulinum toxin type A neuromuscular inhibitor into the calf muscle, which causes it to relax creating a more leaner appearance. Although this solution is not permanent, it’s highly effective, minimally invasive and very safe compared to surgical alternatives.
The calf muscles are made up of 2 gastrocnemius muscles, sometimes called twin muscles. In some people, these muscles can become hypertrophic, meaning they grow abnormally thick. When injected with botox, these muscles will be paralyzed and the calf will shrink. This is a great alternative to invasive surgery as it’s more precise and can be performed in under an hour.
During a calf Botox injection session, our double board-certified cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon will carefully examine your muscles through direct inspection to see how the muscle bulk is distributed. This will help us decide whether or not the calf muscles are bulky because of overactivity or simply because of genetics and a general build. This exam also allows us to determine whether or not the calf muscles are asymmetrical. If they are, we can use the calf Botox to balance them out, which will give you more symmetrical looking legs.
As a longtime practitioner of plastic surgery, our double board-certified physician is uniquely qualified to treat your calf muscles using botox. He has a deep interest in form and function and approaches the body as an artist, creating attractive aesthetics while preserving mobility and optimum functionality. He will use a number of tactics in combination to reduce the size of your calf muscles, including surgical reduction.
Is Botox Calf Reduction Permanent?
In addition to addressing the calf muscles, we may also use fat removal techniques for additional slimming results. These can be combined with a calf Botox injection for a more complete transformation.
While surgical methods are more invasive, they can provide you with long-term results that will be consistent over time. They also tend to be much more cost-effective than a non-surgical solution like a calf Botox injection, which will require multiple sessions in order to achieve the desired results.
The calf Botox procedure is extremely safe and has been used in countless patients with no negative long-term side effects reported. The calf muscle is more sensitive than the facial muscles and therefore requires more precision when administering Botox, so only experienced professionals should perform this treatment. This is especially important because it’s important to avoid over-injecting, which can lead to a “frozen” look and asymmetry. The calf muscles will also naturally atrophy over time so you will need to return for regular maintenance treatments in order to maintain the desired results.
Moreover, Botox calf reduction is customizable and allows for precise sculpting of the calf muscles according to each patient’s desired outcome. Whether aiming for a subtle contouring or a more dramatic reduction, the dosage and placement of injections can be tailored to achieve the desired aesthetic results.
