Types of Calf Reduction
Calf Reduction in Georgia is usually performed with both surgical and non-surgical methods, depending on your convenience and the surgeon’s decision. Below are some common procedures performed to reduce the size of large, bulging calves.
Surgical Methods
Muscle Resection:
This procedure surgically removes part of the muscles in the calves, emphasizing the desired size of the lower part. This resection gives different results in each case, but in almost all cases, there are some temporary complications such as the inability to walk and some scarring.
Selective Nerve Blocking:
The calf muscles can also be reduced by blocking the selective nerves. This is a minimally invasive surgery in which the nerves are cut or blocked to reduce the size of the calf. When the calf muscle receives fewer signals, it automatically reduces in size.
Liposuction:
This method is intended for people suffering from excess calf weight. It includes a very small incision in the calves to insert the vacuum device and suck out the fat to contour the knees and ankles. In cases where there is excess fat, additional procedures may be required.
Non-Surgical Methods
Laser Liposuction:
This is the most effective way to safely tighten your ankles and calves. It is performed under mild sedation, using a laser device to break down the fat and extract it. The results are visible within the first two weeks and improve over time.
Botox Injections:
Using Botox injections for calves will gradually reduce calf size without negatively affecting calf function. Just like Botox reduces wrinkles, it also reduces calf size. Supportive post-care is essential to see permanent results.
Radiofrequency:
Radiofrequency calf reduction is a popular nerve contouring technique. It gradually reduces the calf size, making them slim, elegant, and prominent. This treatment is not recommended for people who are allergic to artificial rays or have very thin skin.
Cool Sculpting:
Cool Sculpting is a non-surgical calf contouring treatment that uses advanced technology to reshape the calf. A special device freezes the subcutaneous fat, reducing calf size and improving appearance. However, the results are gradual and take time.
Recovery from Calf Reduction
The recovery period after calf reduction in Georgia depends on the type of treatment received. In cases where surgery is performed, patients generally recover in about a week, while Botox injections require little to no recovery, allowing a return to normal activities immediately.
When recovering from calf reduction surgery, you will need to wear compression socks for several weeks to keep your calves tight and slim. It is important to be careful with the treated area and strictly follow your doctor’s recommendations to keep the healing process on track.
Potential Risks
Calf reduction surgery helps correct serious calf size issues, but it comes with several risks, including:
- Poor healing
- Long-term pain
- Blood clots
- Injury to blood vessels
Remember, the risks you face depend a lot on the skills of your doctor, as well as your consistency in follow-up care. Always talk with your doctor about the risks ahead of time to determine if this option is right for you and how it might affect your daily routine.
