“…Several invasive methods have been performed for the esthetic reduction in the enlarged calves, including liposuction, gastrocnemius muscle resection, and selective neurectomy . Recently, botulinum toxin A has been widely used for treating masseter hypertrophy as an esthetic correction to create a heart‐shaped facial appearance .…”

Correction of Asymmetric Calf Hypertrophy with Differential Selective Neurectomy

et al. 2009

Contour asymmetry of the legs is a major aesthetic concern among Asian women. This study enrolled 60 patients with asymmetric calf hypertrophy, defined as a differential calf circumference exceeding 0.6 cm. Differential selective neurectomy techniques, which depend on the sizes of the small and large calves, were performed exactly via a 1-cm popliteal wound. The pre- and postoperative mean differences between the larger and smaller calf circumferences at the 1-year follow-up consultation were 1.38 +/- 0.65 and 0.42 +/- 0.38 cm, respectively (p < 0.01). The reduction was significantly greater in the leg that was initially larger. The procedure was effective in reducing circumference discrepancies so that leg contours were more balanced. All the patients were able to ambulate normally within 5 months after the procedure without disability. The authors posit that differential neurectomy is a safe and reliable technique for the correction of asymmetric calf hypertrophy, with minimal morbidities.

Analysis of the Body Mass Index and Leg Profiles of Asian Women after Total Leg Sculpture

Abstract: Total leg sculpture provides a combined aesthetic solution for improving limb contours with minimal morbidity. Patients with larger body mass index values exhibit better aesthetic improvement than those with smaller values.
