At Yaan Clinic in Seoul’s Gangnam district, we understand that many patients struggle with bulky calves that do not respond to exercise or diet. For those looking to achieve a slimmer, smoother leg line without invasive surgery, our Calf Reduction Procedure provides a safe and effective solution.
What is Calf Reduction Surgery in Korea?
Calf reduction at Yaan Clinic is a non-invasive treatment designed to reshape the calves by reducing excessive muscle or fat. Unlike traditional surgeries that involve cutting or removing muscle, our method combines precise nerve blocking and body contouring injections to achieve natural, semi-permanent results with minimal downtime.
