Q&A

01. Is calf procedure
dangerous?

In the past, cutting muscles or nerves
carried risks, including complications
like being unable to stand on tiptoes
and severe loss of athletic abilities.
However, non-invasive calf reduction
procedures minimize side effects,
making most physical activities and
daily life possible after the treatment.

02. Are there
complications such
as not being able to
stand on tiptoes?

Unlike older calf surgeries, the
non-invasive calf procedure
selectively blocks only nerves,
aiming to reduce complications like
gait disturbances.

03. When does the
effect start?

Atrophy begins 3-4 weeks after the
nerve-blocking procedure, gradually
reducing over the next month, with
noticeable effects around 6 months.
