Calf Implants | Calf Augmentation

For men who find it difficult to build definition and size in the calf muscles, solid silicone implants may be placed.  Through short incisions on the outer and the inner aspect of the creases behind the knee a pocket is developed beneath the fibrous coverings of both the inner and outer heads of the calf muscle.  The implants are sculpted during the surgery to fit the requirements of the individual patient.  After one leg is done then the opposite leg is done to assure symmetry.  Dissolvable sutures are placed in each of the incisions and a light dressing is used to cover each.  Before the patient even leaves the hospital the patient is encouraged to begin walking aground with some assistance.

After surgery, the legs are sore but performing range of motion exercises while resting in bed and  beginning ambulation soon after surgery the patient rapidly returns to more everyday activities such as driving quite quickly.

Pain medications and muscle relaxants also help in assuring a quick recovery.  A person is usually able to return to gym work including leg exercises within three to four weeks following the procedure.
