Calf implants are a surgical procedure to increase the size and shape of the calf. Calf implants will produce fullness in the lower leg and can help those who can’t achieve the desired calf muscle tone. Best suited for lower leg sculpting, calf implants can correct muscle imbalance as a result of both physical and congenital defects.
Solid silicone implants are used in the calf implant procedure; the implants are placed by experienced surgeons, as the placement of the calf implant is very important; a badly placed implant could cause long term problems if they move and infections.
Incisions for the calf implants are made behind the knee in the crease and these become barely visible. The space is made exactly in the right place for the calf implant.
The recovery time from a calf implant is 4-6 weeks. Light walking and activities can be enjoyed after the 1 week following calf implant surgery, although it maybe painful, but any pain after implant surgery will be controlled with medication. You will see swelling but it should start to subside after a week.
