Have anyone done or have knowledge of if partial gastrocnemius muscle resection surgery to get thinner and longer calves works?

I have no other words to classify this as a medicine tragedy and most absurd "cosmetical" surgery ever. I think all medical and ethical regulators in developed countries will probably forbid this. First Hypocrates principle: "do no harm".
That's because things like this that a lot of prejudice remains against even newly modern countries as in Asia. Despite the USA medical associations for example also allow things such as that a 6,00" tall man risk surgery to try to achieve 6,5".

I can't imagine why anyone would want to SHRINK their calves.

That does not lengthen your calves it just provides thinner calves which may create an illusion of more length.

It's for little girls who don't want big muscles after LL, which sometimes happens.

They'll cut muscle out to support a taller, heavier body?!
Just to look prettier? They just should weight this as a contra when evaluating surgery. It will only be an aesthetically problem with real "fat" calves, and this can be disguised by using high heels for those who like it (after all if they're so concerned with beauty, high heels favour all women as Ford said).
It's a never ending game of aesthetical race....what about their "smaller" feet? Do they like their lips?
Muscles are furthermore closely anatomically tied or not to other tissues. Cutting muscles in healthy humans is just an aberration. Cutting muscle is for beef production, in dead cows.
