What To Expect
Seattle Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive Botox for calves for every patient. Before you even receive the injections, you’ll consult with our lead injection specialist, Darya, to ensure the treatment is right for you. Darya typically creates a customized plan for your calf slimming treatment. In order to find the right plan, the provider may examine your calf muscles and ask you to move around or flex them. Once you’ve found the right plan for your goals and structure, Darya will begin the treatment.
Botox Injection Process
Typically, you will lie on your stomach when you receive Botox for calves. The entire treatment only lasts around twenty to thirty minutes and isn’t painful. Darya will clean the injection sites and then administer the Botox into specific muscles in minimal amounts.
Recovery
The good news is Botox requires very little recovery or downtime afterward. In fact, many return to their normal lives directly after their injection session. However, it’s recommended that you skip intense workouts or physical activity for at least twenty-four hours afterward. You may have slight soreness, bruising, or swelling, but this should fade quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
When Will I See The Results From Calves Botox?
It can take anywhere from a few days to a week before you start seeing the slight results of Botox for calves. However, this is a gradual treatment, which means you will need to get regular injections to keep up with the results. However, you should see a significant difference after just one session, as it prevents you from using the muscles that grow the calf.
How Long Does Calf Botox Last?
This depends on your genetics and how your body responds to the Botox. However, Botox tends to last between 3 to 4 months for most patients. For calves, it may last a little longer, since it completely disengages the muscles that make them large. Some patients have seen their Botox last eight months or more. The best thing to do is talk with Darya and get on the best schedule for your goals and needs.
How Much Does Botox For Calves Cost?
The cost of Botox for calves depends on the provider and clinic you choose. At Seattle Plastic Surgery, the price of your calf Bootx depends on how many units you need, but the price starts at $420 for 30 units. You can discuss pricing with your provider during a consultation. There are many pricing and financing options if you want to explore those options.
What Should I Avoid After Calf Botox?
You may want to avoid strenuous exercise for a few days or a week after calf Botox. While there is no serious recovery process, listening to your body is the most important thing you can do. If your calves feel sore or weak, don’t push yourself or force yourself to workout strenuously. If you have any other side effects, talk to Darya.
What Are The Side Effects Of Botox In The Calves?
There are not many side effects from Botox, but there are a few that you should be aware of. Botox may cause muscle weakness, discomfort, swelling and bruising, inability to exercise for one to two weeks, allergic reaction, and infection. It’s important to note that most of these side effects are rare or only last for a few days. Tell your provider if your side effects don’t fade and you experience any complications.
