Calf augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape and curves of lower portion of the leg. Some people are unable to get a good calf muscle shape in spite of adequate exercising. For such people with shrunken lower leg and muscle imbalance for various physical or congenital reasons, calf implant is the only right and permanent solution.
In the Calf implants procedure, soft, solid silicone implants are placed in surgically created pockets overlying the existing gastrocnemius muscles. The calf muscles have two heads – The inner and the outer head. Small incisions are made through the creases in the back side of the knee and after creating pockets in muscles, implants are placed either only in the inner head, the outer head of calf muscle or both inner and outer head depending upon the shape and volume desired. For one or two weeks the patient has to do minimal walking and rest on bed and after which more normal but not rigorous walking can be undertaken. Your calf implant will heal and give you a very gym fit bulk up calf muscle look.
