Before your consultation
- Can it be diagnosed by standing on tiptoe?
- If only one leg suddenly swells, is it a cosmetic consultation?
- What should people who exercise consider?
General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.
Can it be diagnosed by standing on tiptoe?
The change in contour when giving force can be used as consultation material, but it is not used alone for diagnosis. Please inform us about the usual swelling in the evening, the difference between left and right sides, and the presence of pain. Data on toxins for facial wrinkles should not be directly applied as guaranteed effects or approval grounds for calves.

If only one leg suddenly swells, is it a cosmetic consultation?
Sudden swelling or pain on one side should prioritize evaluating the cause over body shape improvement. If there is shortness of breath or chest pain, emergency care is necessary. Even if photos suggest the muscles appear developed, please report newly developed symptoms separately.
What should people who exercise consider?
Please let us know activities that heavily use the calves, such as running, hiking, or dancing, and any scheduled competition dates. If satisfaction is determined only by circumference reduction, changes in exercise performance may be overlooked. The procedure plan should include conditions for returning to daily life and resuming exercise.
Do the same standards apply to the trapezius muscle?
Even if it is grouped under the name body botulinum toxin, the calves and shoulders have different functions and goals. If you have neck or shoulder pain, consult separately for aesthetic contouring and pain causes. Do not directly apply the same amount or interval used in other treatment areas.
When and how should the circumference be measured?
Mark the same location and measure at similar times to reduce the impact of swelling differences. Record weight changes and exercise levels as well. If the angles of the legs in photos, heel height of shoes, or the amount of tension differ, the before-and-after comparison may appear larger than it actually is.
How do I check body botulinum toxin estimates in Daegu city?
When inquiring in Daegu city, specify the desired treatment area precisely and check the currently applicable range. The official treatment list's body botulinum toxin does not imply treatment for all body shape concerns. Compare under the same conditions for product, total dosage, and follow-up consultations.
