Calf augmentation

What to expect from calf augmentation?

There are certain body parts, which shape is difficult to change even with intense exercise. A great example for this are the calves, to which muscle can be difficult to pick up. Calf augmentation with implant allows for this part of the body to be well shaped, ands it is also a great choice to intervene in case of asymmetry observed between the two legs due to injury or accident.

Due to this process the calves are fuller, neater, which will definitely affect well the self-confidence and self-assurance. Good looking calves can make the whole appearance more attractive, which can be achieved with plastic surgery.

What is calf surgery?

The procedure - just like liposuction or buttock surgery - is performed under general anesthesia and require a one-hour surgery in which the specialist makes the cut in the knee bend, so it will be almost invisible after healing. The implant is put through a four centimeters deep cut in the height of the calf, namely over the muscles. After being sure that they are at the right places and whether the two legs are symmetrical, the area gets closed and bondage gets on the leg. This intends to keep the implant on the right place and so the skin sticks even faster.

The high quality implants used today don’t need to be replaced. For men, anatomical implants and for woman the spindle-shaped are recommended to achieve the desired shape. After the procedure you will have to wear a pressure bandage for at least six weeks, while the implant is firmly locked.
