With its rapid results and minimal recovery time, it is ideal for those seeking safest way to thin, shapely calves that are in proportion to the body.
The ideal candidates for calf reduction procedures include overall healthy individuals who desire more symmetrical or slimmer calves.

Calf reduction in Iran, depending on your comfort and the surgeon's decision, is usually done with both surgical and non-surgical methods. Here are some common ways to reduce the size of large, protruding calves.
This procedure surgically removes part of the leg muscles and emphasizes the desired size of the lower part. This removal has different results in each case, but in almost all cases there are temporary complications such as inability to walk and some scarring.
It can also be reduced by blocking selective nerves in the leg muscles. This is a minimally invasive surgery in which the nerves are cut or blocked to reduce the size of the leg. When the calf muscle receives fewer signals, its size automatically decreases.
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 will be required.
This is the most effective way to safely tighten the ankle and leg. It is performed under mild sedation in which a laser device is used to break down fat and extract it. The results are visible in the first two weeks, which further improves the extra time.
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 calf reduction is a popular nerve contouring technique. 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.

Other serious complications may include muscle edema and necrosis.
