Options for Calf Reduction?

I inherited large muscular calves from my mother that are disproportionate from the rest of my normal/thin sized body.

Large muscular calves.

In the United States calf muscle debulking is rarely performed due to concerns with function and the medicolegal environment. This is more commonly practiced in the Pacific rim.
