Calf Implants

Calf implants have become progressively more fashionable in the United States, because this procedure gives comprehensiveness and the appearance of muscle toneness. Calf implants can also improve muscle imbalance due to physical and hereditary defects.

Calf implants can shape the profile and size of your calf muscles by inserting silicone implants in pockets that are designed just on top of the muscle.

Calf Implants Procedure

For calf implants, your legs will be measured so that the properly sized implants can be primed for you. You will be placed under general anesthesia and placed on your stomach on the operating room table. Your cosmetic surgeon will make a tiny slit in the colds behind your knee. A pocket will be designed between the fibrous covering of the muscle and the muscle itself. The pocket is made big enough for the implant to be slipped in.

Once the pocket has been created, the calf implant is smoothly placed inside the pocket, if two calf implants are necessary, then the procedure is duplicated so that the second implant can be added. After investigating your leg, if everything appears to be in the right location and the visual is good, your doctor will stitch the incision closed.

Recovery

Recovery for calf implants can take between 4-6 weeks. You will be expected to walk around and to keep your legs elevated when you are lying down or sitting to help decrease the inflammation. Your dressings will be removed 2 days after your surgery and you will be expected to walk even more. You should be able to return to normal physical activities within 4-6 weeks.
