Reduction of large calves

There are no definitive procedures to accomplish reduction in calf muscles that are routinely practiced in the United States. This tends to be more common in the Asian literature. The only alternative is fat reduction which is most commonly performed using liposuction but has been reported using mesotherapy, external ultrasound, and radiofrequency techniques.
