Calf implant - Cesmedic Plastic

Calf implant surgery is performed to enlarge the calves, resulting in a more defined and muscular appearance. Most calf implant patients have lower legs that are out of proportion from their upper legs. Men may be seeking added bulk, while women may desire sexier contours in their lower legs.

Types of anesthesia
The anesthesia used for this procedure is usually local with sedation, but also general anesthesia or epidural block anesthesia are often opted for.

The surgery
It may take 1-2 hours to perform calf implant surgery. Time requirements for this surgery, though, can vary between each unique situation.
Calf implants enhance the shape and size of the calf muscles by placing soft, solid silicone implants in pockets overlying the existing gastrocnemius muscles.
These implants which may be one to each leg or two depending on the desired effect are placed through small incisions in the creases behind the knee. A person may desire to have only the inner head of the muscle enlarged, the outer head, or both. The result is that the existing musculature is made to appear larger and more defined.

Post-operative
Stitches are removed between the 10 and 14 days.
It can take about 1-3 weeks of calf implant recovery to be back to fluid and unsupported walking.
Work, if not too strenuous, can usually be resumed about 1 week after surgery, or a bit later in certain situations.
