Hi, I am looking for an option for calf reduction. Im not a candidate for liposuction, I haven’t exercice to have these muscle, it is a genetic problem (thanks to my father) that do not match my normal and feminine upper body. If Botox is injected by a board cettified surgeon, is it safe? Is there a higher risk of toxicity considering the amount of units that need to be use? Will I still be able to walk, jump normally (with less power)? After multiple injections, is there permanent results. Thanks!
