Have you ever seen a beautiful woman on the street wearing a pair of high heels, but with saggy carrot legs appearing behind her calves? Or when the weather is hot, you don’t dare to wear short skirts to see people because you feel inferior because you have muscle fat on your calves? People who have carrot legs may also be laughed at by others: "There is a little white rabbit jumping behind." In fact, in addition to the plump breasts that attract the most attention to women, the other focus target is the calves. If you have a pair of carrot legs, it is really very annoying. , fortunately, there are advanced plastic surgeries that can help, and you don’t have to worry about leaving scars or affecting important functions after surgery.
The calves will bulge because they have carrot legs. Doctors say that carrot legs can be divided into muscle type and fat type. More than 90% of them are caused by calf muscle hypertrophy. Muscular type is mainly caused by gastrocnemius and fat type. The soleus muscle is well developed. From the side structure view, the gastrocnemius muscle is located in the superficial layer behind the calf and is divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. When you put your toes up, you can see a bulging muscle on the inner side of the calf, which is the medial gastrocnemius muscle. The smaller lateral gastrocnemius muscle is located on the posterolateral side of the calf.
As for the soleus muscle, it is a whole piece and is located deep inside the gastrocnemius muscle. When treating carrot legs, we should not only consider making the calf as small as possible, but also consider the appearance of the calf. Of course, the function of the calf should not be affected.
The traditional way to remove carrot legs is neurectomy. The wound is about 3 to 5 centimeters. It was introduced about two years ago. The calf will feel sore in the first week after the operation, and high heels must be worn. The surgery is suitable for OL working women who do not like to exercise. There is also the removal of the gastrocnemius nerve. The wound is about 10 centimeters. Electroacupuncture is used to find the nerve, and then radiofrequency waves are used to heat the nerve to destroy it. This may be unsafe, and not only does the appearance look unsightly, but it may also be damaged by the removal surgery. Scars appear.
Some people are afraid of surgery and try to inject Botox into the gastrocnemius muscle to slim down their calves. However, due to the large injection area and relatively large injection dose, the cost will naturally increase, and Botox will It is absorbed by the body over time and can only last for about half a year. After that, it must be re-injected, which is a bit troublesome. After research and improvement, there is a new carrot-pulling technique, also known as the "radio-wave carrot leg reduction technique", which can be used as a reference for women who love beauty.
Radio leg reduction surgery uses a nerve detector to find the nerves that control the gastrocnemius muscles of the calf, and uses RF waves (Radio Frequency) to heat them to 80 degrees, thereby generating micro-explosions to block the nerves and allow the gastrocnemius muscles to naturally For reduction and thinning, the doctor said that the amount of radio waves used depends on the doctor's experience and technology. After the operation, the leg circumference will be reduced by about 2 cm, so that the gastrocnemius muscle will gradually atrophy due to its inability to receive nerve stimulation, thus achieving the goal of thinning the calf easily.
During radiotherapy, the wound is only the size of a pinhole, but you may feel a little sore after the operation. You must wear high heels for a week, which may damage some nerves, so for the bounce Strength and endurance will be slightly affected, and there may be some inconvenience for people who like mountain climbing and dancing. In addition, it will not affect your daily life, and you can see obvious results in about a month.
