Things to note when doing calf muscle reduction surgery

Calf muscle reduction surgery is actually a surgery performed on people whose calf muscles appear to be prominent, but you should also pay attention to the various preparations before the surgery. Before treatment, you should pay attention to check whether you have a fever or some chronic diseases.

1. 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.

2. Precautions before surgery

1. Before treatment, make sure the patient is in good health, has no 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 should not be washed with water within 24 hours after treatment, and hot water should not be used to wash the local area or do strenuous exercise within 48 hours;

3. Do not drink alcohol, eat spicy food, chili pepper, seafood, etc. within one week after the operation. 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

3. Surgical Effects

The surgical effect of muscle reduction surgery varies from person to person, but most beauty-conscious people start having muscle reduction surgery about 1 month later, and the effects gradually show up, with relatively permanent effects showing up after about 3-6 months. In addition, many beauty-conscious people who have undergone muscle reduction surgery said that they will feel a pulling sensation after the surgery, and at this time, they only need to wear shoes with slightly higher heels to feel better.
