I've heard and read that there people are now injecting botox into their calves to make their legs thinner.

Has anyone ever done this or know of a doctor that performs this?

Pardon my ignorance but how does that make calves thinner? Just curious.

Is that to go with the Boob Screw Uplift ?

OMG - if this actually worked I'd be more than willing to pay for it!! I have HUGE calves and cannot find knee high boots to fit.

I have my doubts that this would work though as I don't know how botox would slim ones calves.

I heard that it atrophies the calf muscle, hence making it smaller.

There's supposed to be no down time...but it requires A LOT of Botox and is thus expensive!.

^^ Wow I had never heard of this...very interesting and I hope you find the referral you're looking for.

bnjj · Aug 21st, 2007, 06:14 PM

I just called my Dermatologist and he's heard of this but does not perform this procedure. He did not say if it was effective or not.

mpark46 · Aug 21st, 2007, 06:15 PM

^^bnjj where do you live? Did he give you any suggestions on where to start looking?

Whhhhhhhhhaaaaaaatttttt? OMG what will they think of next lol!!

I wish there was something that I could do for my ankles. But there's nothing I can do about the tendons surrounding them so I'm stuck with less than thin ankles.

There's a company in the UK that makes custom boots based on your calf width. They're called Duo Boots. I haven't ordered from them yet but I plan to soon for the winter!

OMG the thought of sticking something in my calves makes me sick to my stomach!!! I get cramps in my calves sometimes and it hurts like hell, so I can't even imagine sticking a needle there!!!

SunnyFreckles · Aug 22nd, 2007, 12:36 AM

Oh good gracious! That sounds like the most painful thing ever! Even if it did work...no thank you!

katheryn · Aug 22nd, 2007, 01:37 AM

Wow, I really can't fathom wanting to inject yourself with enough botox to cause your muscles to atrophy. Yikes!
