this is one you really do not want to go near,
this is a new and disturbing trend reportedly dubbed “calf blocking”, which essentially
has young, healthy girls getting “less important” nerves in their legs
surgically severed to permanently atrophy their calf muscles, so that their
lower legs appear slimmer and straighter, as noted in the article, there
is no such thing as a less important nerve, and that once a nerve has been
damaged, there is a high likelihood that it will never fully recover,
in
a May 20 interview with The
Paper, Dr. Zeng Chun, Deputy Director of the Department of Joint Surgery
and Sports Medicine, Affiliated Hospital 3 of Southern Medical University, said
that he was shocked when he first learned that girls were deliberately severing
their leg muscle nerves to make their calves look leaner, apparently “calf blocking” is featuring on many forums where young girls are being persuaded to try to make unrealistic
beauty standards, what some will do to be 'in fashion'.
