What Are Effective Procedures That Make the Calves Slimmer/smaller? (photo)

Jcee
I am desperate to find an effective treatment to make the calves smaller. I have very disproportionate calves while every other parts of the body is thin. If I dont use any strength in my legs, the calves are rather squishy, soft and are smaller. If you pinch the calves at the back, they're about 1" thick. Not sure if they're flesh/fats. However, if I walk or run, etc, the muscles would tighten up/ look big. I feel very uncomfortable and need massage. Would Zeltiq/zerona or anything help? Thx
