Botox for Slim Legs?

 Botox is not for legs.  Please do not let anyone inject your legs with Botox.  This would be a very bad idea.  It would negatively affect your function and would also be cost prohibitive since it would require a very large quantity of Botox.

Botox and Dysport can be used to soften the muscular show of the calf muscles and create a slimmer look.  The calf muscles are large and the results will be dose dependent.  I would consider starting with 50 units in each calf and then titrate the dose upwards on future visits until you get the desired result.

Hi Dida,
This is one of the most unique questions we have ever received about Botox use. The panel has weighed in and it seems like we are all in agreement. This would not be a good idea.
This area is not FDA approved, would require a tremendous amount of product and may very well not lead to your desired outcome. We would try and find a different pair of shows instead, one that would ut less emphasis on the claves. Good luck.

Botox has a lot of great an novel uses, but this one just doesn't satisfy the risk-benefit equation. I know that there are all kinds of websites and medical practices peddling the idea of calf reduction with Botox, but that doesn't make it a good idea.
In order to achieve any meaningful reduction in calf size (medial head of the gastrocnemius, anyway) the dose of Botox really starts to get into the higher range. In addition, frequent applications of the toxin are required to induce atrophy. In both cases the risk of adverse events rises.
This procedure does seem very effective at reducing a patient's bank account, however. ;-)

This would likely require large doses and could potentially result in functional weakness.
The results would be temporary.
My experience with this technique is currently limited at this time, and therefore, I am not an advocate of this technique.
