Calf reduction is particularly popular in Asia, where slim legs are highly valued. Korean clinics have developed sophisticated techniques for this unique procedure.
Why Calf Reduction?
Many Asian women have muscular or thick calves that don't respond to diet or exercise. Cultural preferences for slim, long-looking legs drive demand.
