CALF CORRECTION: ENLARGEMENT & REDUCTION

Due to a strict exercise program and genetic factors, the calf muscles can become more prominent and make the entire leg appear stockier. Especially women feel uncomfortable with it. This is also because the pronounced calf muscles make it difficult to wear boots or tight pants. With calf reduction, the leg will become slimmer again. Men in particular have the opposite problem. Even with targeted calf training, their muscles often do not develop as desired. In this case, calf augmentation can achieve the look and size you are aiming for. Of course, Calf Correction can also do something for you if you are unhappy with the shape of your calves for other reasons. These include asymmetrical lower legs, bow legs, and deformities caused by injury or disease. All forms of calf correction are designed to make you feel more comfortable in your body. We present the various options that our experienced plastic and cosmetic surgery specialists use for this purpose in detail below.

With this method, your calf diameter increases through implants that our reputable team precisely positions. As a result, the shape becomes very natural and no one would suspect the implant. This soft implant is inserted in one operation. For this you will receive a general anesthesia, but you can go home after the procedure. It is important that you rest for 4-7 days and do not put too much stress on your calves. You should pause your exercise program for about 4-6 weeks to allow the healing of the wound and to prevent the implant from shifting. We recommend that you wear compression stockings for a few days afterwards to reduce swelling.

While calf augmentation is primarily aimed at those who want a comprehensive increase in circumference, augmentation with fillers is suitable for minimal increases. Moreover, this method also corrects asymmetries and provides a beautiful appearance as a result. Our reputable specialists in plastic and aesthetic surgery use the well-tolerated hyaluronic acid gel for this purpose. There is no need for anesthesia for this procedure, as the fine, tiny needles cause hardly any pain. We can numb the area slightly with a light numbing cream if you prefer. Since hyaluronic acid degrades on its own after a few years, we recommend regular follow-up treatments to maintain the results.
In addition to hyaluronic acid gel, our experienced specialists also use Sculptra. Compared to others, this filler has a longer-lasting effect. It is also called a "collagen booster" because it stimulates the production of collagen in the tissues. Due to this effect, the circumference of your calves increases. Typically, it takes 3 injections 4-6 weeks apart.

If you are dissatisfied with the circumference of your calves, our experienced team can reduce it with liposuction. In this case, it is important to mention that this method is suitable mainly for enlargements caused by an excessive amount of fat. This includes lipedema, for example. With gentle and tissue-conserving liposuction, it is also possible to reduce dimples and tighten the entire tissue. We also recommend that you wear compression stockings for a few days to weeks after the operation in order to positively influence the result.

If the calves are enlarged due to regular exercise, our renowned specialists can reduce the circumference with a Botox® treatment. In the so-called "Calf-Botox", the contraction of the calf muscles is prevented and this reduces the circumference of your lower legs by up to 5 cm. The effect will last for about 6 months. Therefore, we recommend that you repeat this treatment regularly to maintain the effect. It is important that you refrain from sports such as cycling after the Botox® injection, otherwise the muscles may build up again and thus increase in size.
