Large and shapely calves may appear healthy in the eyes of some people, but it can have a psychological impact on everyday life or wardrobe choices.
While bodybuilders build their leg muscles to increase muscle definition, more and more patients look for thinner, sleeker, and more feminine-looking calves. By reducing the size of the muscle with botox or lifting the muscle with a surgical thread, the legs easily become smoother and slimmer, like Barbie.

Why CDU Barbie Leg Contouring?
1. The most advanced surgical thread, VXiL
VXiL is the most advanced surgical thread with higher cog density, which is developed by the CDU medical team and is only available at CDU Plastic Surgery Korea.
Since it has a two-way cog at 180 degrees, dimpling after this procedure is minimized and the result lasts longer (VXiL lasts a minimum of one year, while other threads last about 6~9 months), and is stronger without heat sensation or pain.
- Not only that: VXiL also induces the surrounding tissues to generate collagen, resulting in an increase in skin elasticity.
2. Genuine product, fixed quantity
CDU surgeons’ priority is the patient’s safety and satisfaction. To provide sincere medical treatments to our patients, we only use genuine botox products and a fixed quantity to maximize the result.
3. Short procedure time and recovery
Unlike invasive approaches, Barbie leg contouring (non-invasive calf reduction) is performed under local anesthesia. Immediately after the procedure, bruising, swelling, and pain is minimal, so others can’t notice that a patient has undergone the procedure.
This allows the patient to go back to work right away. The result is remarkably satisfying with a short procedure time (about 20-30 mins).
