What bothered me more than the thickness of my calves was the firm, protruding muscle bulge. Whenever I wore heeled shoes or flexed my muscles, the muscle lines became very pronounced, and I felt self-conscious every time I wore a skirt. After hearing an explanation that calf botox is not an immediate thinning procedure, I waited, and after a few weeks, the muscles that were protruding outward gradually softened. Rather than a dramatic change in the overall circumference of my legs, it's more like the calf line became less bumpy. The line from below the knee to the ankle now looks much more feminine, and I'm satisfied with the results.
