Asian Calf Reduction Using Radiofrequency Energy

Radiofrequency Asian Calf Muscle Reduction

Radio-frequency energy can be used on the gastocnemius muscle complex to cause localized destruction of tissue within the calf for the purpose of reducing excess bulk and contouring shape.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia with sedation. Radiorequency current is applied directly to the muscle at selected locations. The RF energy causes "coagulation necrosis," or tissue liquifaction and death.

Recovery is relatively rapid. Most patients are able to resume non-strenuous activity within a few days to one week. Functional disability with walking, running, or jumping is not common after healing but such activities may feel painful.

The change in calf circumference can vary from 0-6 cm depending upon the number of areas treated and the amount of RF energy applied. Reduction of muscle volume is not fully predictable or controllable.

As with neurectomy, compensatory hypertrophy of remaining muscle may occur over time.
