When I went for a consultation at the hospital, they said my calf muscles were bigger than a man's;; I was firmly diagnosed as having completely muscular calves and got Botox. I got 200 units in each calf (400 units total). The procedure was finished within 20 minutes, and aside from the strange sensation of liquid being injected, there was no major pain. After the procedure, when walking, it was hard to put strength in my legs for about 2 weeks? and my calves felt stiff.
Now about 4 months have passed, and since I definitely had a lot of calf muscle, I saw a meaningful change in thickness. As a side effect, compensatory muscle developed. It formed between my ankle and soleus muscle, so the overall calf silhouette became bumpy. But this was also a side effect I was informed about beforehand, and the calf size itself decreased, so I am satisfied. Considering the price and pain during the procedure, well, not bad... If you are thinking about getting calf Botox, assess well whether your calves are muscular/fat-type/edema-type, and you will only see an effect if they are muscular. In other cases, I recommend things like fat-dissolving injections/liposuction...
