At Yaan Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, many patients visit us with concerns about their lower calves looking bulky, even when the upper calves appear slim. The main culprit is often the soleus muscle, which can give the calf a thick or “drumstick” appearance. Unlike traditional surgical methods, Yaan Clinic offers a non-invasive calf reduction injection designed to selectively target and slim the soleus muscle for smoother, more balanced leg lines.
What is Calf Reduction Injection in Korea?
The Calf Reduction Injection is a specialized procedure at Yaan Clinic that reduces the prominence of the soleus muscle without incisions or general anesthesia. By selectively inducing muscle fiber atrophy, the treatment helps refine the ankle and lower calf area.

- Individuals with asymmetrical calves, where one side is bulkier.
- Those with calves that harden and bulge when standing on tiptoes.
- Clients who want natural slimming near the ankle without undergoing invasive surgery.
- People dissatisfied with temporary results from Botox and seeking longer-lasting effects.
