Understanding Calf Implant Procedure
Calf implants are an innovative body contouring solution designed for individuals seeking enhanced lower leg definition. These FDA-approved silicone gel implants offer a sculpted, natural-looking muscular appearance for both men and women.
Who Benefits from Calf Implants?
- Individuals with naturally small or disproportionate calves
- Patients with congenital lower leg deformities
- Those recovering from calf muscle injuries
- Individuals seeking improved leg symmetry and aesthetic balance
Surgical Technique
The calf implant procedure involves precise placement through a small incision behind the knee. Typically, two implants are strategically positioned in each leg to mimic the natural calf muscle contour. The implants are carefully positioned beneath the muscle fascia, ensuring a realistic and proportional enhancement.
Surgical Details
- Incision location: Behind the knee
- Implant type: FDA-approved silicone gel
- Number of implants: Two per leg
- Placement: Beneath muscle fascia
Recovery and Healing
Patients can typically return to work within 7-10 days following the procedure. However, more strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks to ensure proper healing and optimal results. A compressive wrap is applied to support the legs during initial recovery.
Post-Procedure Recommendations
- Rest and limited activity for the first week
- Wear prescribed compressive wraps
- Attend follow-up consultations
- Gradually resume normal activities
