You think you have large calves and are not happy with your legs appearance. You might be facing problem to fit in when you want to buy high boots or skinny jeans. Now you are trying to find a solution for having slimmer calves and find our website.




When we are talking about calf reduction, we are talking about couple of techniques. From the non-invasive to invasive ones; we frequently use BT inside muscle injections for temporary solution to keep doing every 4-6 months - this is the outpatient clinic procedure you can get easily and have some result as it makes the calves look longer and slimmer.


If we talk about surgery, we have 2 options. Liposuction or Calf Reduction Surgery. Liposuction is our operational solution if the calf area is fatty. If fat tissue surrounds the calves, liposuction works well on that area to have a slimmer calf area. Also, sometimes large gastrocnemius muscles are surrounded by fat tissues so we perform both liposuction and calf resection to have complete result.


We also use liposuction to contour upper leg, inner thighs, upper knee area during calf reduction surgery and complete the contour whole leg at the same time if needed.


When we decide on to do calf reduction, this is the specialized surgical option we have to slimmer gastrocnemius muscle. There are 2 sides of the muscles we can touch during surgery according to leg shape. Lateral or medial or both of them are resected partially to have the best shape. Even we do our best to make the leg look its best after healing, in calf reduction surgery, asymmetries can be seen.


We prefer laser liposuction and endoscopic calf reduction surgery but in cases which these cannot offer the best outcome, classical or vaser liposuction or classical calf reduction techniques can be done. This is decided by the surgeon according to his experience and physical examination findings about your case.
