are calf implants safe & successful?

Answer 1

Is it safe?
It is a very safe and satisfying procedure. It is usually performed under a general anesthesia.

What is it for?
Occasionally people who work out a lot are unable to build up one particular muscle. When this muscle is the calf muscle, a silicone implant can be used to obtain the definition that the individual desires. The implant is placed over the calf muscle and requires the patient to walk in a "tip-toe" type of position (use a shoe with a built up heel) for approximately 1 week following surgery. The patient will be quite sore following this procedure for about 1 week depending on the size of the implant that is used. Most patients feel pretty normal in approximately 3 - 4 weeks.

Calf implants can be used to add bulk and definition to calf muscles, dramatically improving the appearance of the lower legs. For those who feel their calf muscles would look more attractive and proportional with added mass and definition, calf implants may be the answer. Calf implants not only enhance the appearance of the legs, but can help improve the look of the entire body as well. Calf implants are best suited for lower leg sculpting and can be used to correct muscle imbalance as a result of physical defects. Calf implants create proportionality and improve the appearance of not only the legs but the entire body.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Calf Implants?
Ideal calf augmentation candidates are men and women who would like to have more developed looking muscles. Patients should be in good overall health, psychologically stable, and aware that calf implants are intended for aesthetic improvement, not perfection. Patients should arrange a consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon to determine whether they are good candidates for calf implants. During this consultation, they should discuss their cosmetic goals and expectations and ask whatever questions they might have about calf implants.

The Calf Implant Procedure
Calf augmentation is a generally performed as an outpatient procedure that requires about an hour to complete. During the calf implant procedure, an incision is made in the natural crease behind the knee. The surgeon then creates a pocket large enough to place the calf implants. The calf implants can be placed on both the upper inside or outside of the leg. This area, consisting of muscle and fat, will form scar tissue that will help keep the implant in place. The incision is closed with sutures, and a bandage is applied to reduce swelling and discomfort. Although normal activities can be resumed a few days after surgery, vigorous physical activities should be delayed for about six months. Calf augmentation is often performed in conjunction with liposuction of the ankle and leg to create a thinner and more defined look.

Calf Implant Benefits
After calf augmentation, legs can appear fuller, more muscular, and better defined. For patients with underdeveloped calves, calf implants can restore balance and proportion with the rest of their bodies. Many calf implant patients report an increased sense of self-confidence after the procedure, and many are able to wear clothes (such as shorts and swimsuits) they otherwise would feel uncomfortable in.

Calf Implant Risks
All surgical procedures carry an inherent risk of certain complications. There is always a risk of infection or adverse reaction to anesthesia. Significant complications from calf implants are unusual, however. In rare cases, bleeding or implant shifting may occur. In extremely rare instances, the calf implants may weaken the nearby muscle.

Find a Surgeon in Your Area
If you are unhappy with the size or muscle definition in your legs, you may be an ideal candidate for calf implants. Calf implants can provide a more attractive and proportional appearance with increased mass and definition.

Answer 2

Calf Implants Gone Wrong

Answer 3

Calf implants sound like a bad idea. How could they possibly look normal since they cannot contract like a muscle does. I wouldn't even consider it. You also run the risk of the implant becoming encapsulated and that entails many problems.

Answer 4

Never heard of Calf Implants.

Answer 5

Calf implans are safe and successful but why are you being so vain, as to get something placed into your CALF.....
