Silicone calf implants can compensate for a lack of volume in the calves, harmoniously reshaping the legs.
Calf implant, objectives of the procedure
The calf muscle may be considered insufficient, thus depriving the leg of its natural shape.
Calf implants restore harmony to the curves, creating definition from the front and side for shapely legs.
The intervention
The choice of implant depends on the patient's body type and expectations. The surgeon guides patients toward the most suitable choice for the most natural results. The implant is inserted through a small incision in the crease of the knee and placed against the calf muscles. This means that the scar left behind is barely visible.
Calf implants are inserted under general anesthesia.
As an alternative to calf implants, fat injections into the calves are often sufficient to reshape a leg that is considered to be insufficient in volume.
Postoperative care
Appropriate painkillers are prescribed to eliminate any slight discomfort caused by the insertion of implants in the calves and to allow you to spend the first night after surgery in the best possible conditions.
The procedure generally requires a 24-hour hospital stay after surgery.
Sports activities can be resumed 3 months after the procedure.
