Calf Augmentation

Calf augmentation, also known as calf implants or calf augmentation surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the calf muscles. This surgery is typically sought by individuals who have genetically thin or underdeveloped calf muscles and desire a more sculpted and proportionate lower leg appearance.

During calf augmentation surgery, the surgeon makes small incisions in the natural creases behind the knees or along the inner part of the lower leg. Silicone implants, specifically designed for calf augmentation, are then inserted into pockets created between the calf muscles and the surrounding tissues. The implants come in various sizes and shapes to suit each patient’s unique anatomy and desired outcome. Once the implants are positioned correctly, the incisions are closed with sutures.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Calf Size: Calf augmentation can improve the size and definition of the calves, providing a more balanced and proportionate lower leg appearance.
• Customizable Results: The use of silicone implants allows for tailored results based on the patient’s desired calf size and shape.
• Permanent Solution: Calf implants provide a long-lasting solution for those seeking permanent calf enhancement.

Considerations:

• Calf Augmentation is a procedure that requires Regional Anaesthesia
• Proper post-operative care, including avoiding strenuous activities and excessive weight-bearing on the legs, is essential for optimal healing and implant stability.
• Candidates for calf augmentation should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.
• There are potential risks and complications associated with the surgery, including infection, implant malposition, scarring, and asymmetry.
