About Calf Reduction Treatment

Calf liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that reduces calf size by targeting fatty deposits with a hollow tube called a cannula. The amount of fat removed will depend on individual anatomy, and it’s important to understand that this procedure specifically addresses fat. If calf size is predominantly due to muscle or bone, alternative approaches may need to be considered.
The technique involves making small incisions, typically in discreet locations, to allow the cannula to suction out unwanted fat. These incisions are usually small enough not to require extensive stitching. While you may experience some bruising and swelling following the procedure, these effects should subside over time. Compression garments will be provided to support recovery and ensure optimal results.
