Can Botox make calves and ankles bigger?

No, Botox won't make calves and ankles bigger. Botox is used to improve facial wrinkles. Botox results resolve in 3-4 months. Fat transfer can be used to augment the calves. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

No. Botox cannot make your calves and ankles bigger. Botox and Dysport can be used to make your muscles smaller.Good luck. Dr. Aldo

Thank you for your question. Could you please clarify, do you mean as a side effect of botox your calves and ankles have gotten bigger??  This would be very unusual and definitely not a side effect of typically placed botox in the facial areas.  On the otherhand, can botox be used to make someones calves and ankles bigger by injecting into those muscles???  Possibly, but it would take great amounts of botox and the potential side effects of decreased muscle movement could be incapacitating.  Probably be better served by liposuction contouring and implants.  Good luck.

Thank you for the question. Botox is actually a treatment to make calves look smaller. What you might want to consider is a calf implant or fat transfer to the calves and ankles, I recommend seeing a board-certified plastic surgeon in-person who has experience with these procedures and discuss your goals with them. At our practice, we provide consults via FaceTime or Skype for patients who live outside of NY. For more information, please visit our webpage. 

Botox is not a treatment to add volume. It is used to relax the muscles. Typically used for the forehead or crows feet. Please consult in person with a board certified plastic surgeon for all your options.

On the contrary, an off-label use of Botox is to reduce the size of your calves, if injected selectively to target your gastrocnemius muscles.  As always, seek proper consultation before treatment and best of luck!  

Thank you for your question. Botox is not known to make your calves and ankles bigger as it is a muscle relaxer. I hope this helps!

No. Botox will not make your ankles or calves bigger. Botox is a muscle relaxer that can make muscles smaller, but not bigger.

Usually, the muscles get smaller.  Over time, the repeatedly injected muscles weaken and atrophy (shrink).  Thank you

Botox is used to make calves and some portions of the ankle smaller when there is significant muscle hypertrophy. The procedure with administration of botox to a hypertrophied muscles is very effective any results last approximately 6 months. Good luck from New York City
