Calf muscle removal surgery

The reason for calf muscle removal surgery is that the muscles have retracted, which may make the calf muscles look more prominent, so this surgery can be performed. We know that the muscles at the back of the calf include the lateral calf muscles and the medial calf muscles, which also include the soleus muscle. You need to be aware of some precautions before surgery, and have a thorough examination. You should not have fever or infection before surgery.

Self-examination of calf muscles

When you concentrate your body weight on your toes, the muscles at the back of your calves also gather. If the inner side of your calves bulge and become very obvious, it means that your calf muscles are well developed. When you put your weight on your toes, the curve of your calves is very different from usual.

In this case, the desired effect can be achieved by shrinking the calf muscles. On the contrary, if the entire calf is thick and there is no difference when concentrating the weight on the toes, then it is not due to muscles but fat. In this case, liposuction can be performed to achieve satisfactory results.

Surgical method

This method is the most effective because it can selectively block the nerves that control these muscles. During the operation, an incision of about 3 cm is made in the skin fold behind the knee to selectively cut the nerves that control the inner calf muscles, causing the calf muscles to atrophy. Of course, in the early days after the operation, the patient will not be able to use the muscles whose nerves have been cut, so he will need a period of adaptation.

Preoperative considerations

1. Before treatment, make sure the patient is in good health, without fever, upper respiratory tract infection, chronic diseases (such as diabetes, heart disease) and infectious diseases (such as hepatitis B, AIDS). It is best to avoid the menstrual period of women; 2. Local disinfection should be done before and after treatment; the local area cannot be washed with water within 24 hours after treatment, and cannot be washed with hot water or strenuous exercise within 48 hours; 3. Do not drink alcohol, eat irritating foods, chili peppers, seafood, etc. within one week after surgery. Try to pay attention to a normal diet, do not overeat, avoid eating foods high in fat and sugar, and increase exercise to enhance your physical fitness. 4. You need to lie on your stomach after surgery to avoid hurting your calves
