Calf Augmentation
What is Calf Augmentation/ Implant?
Calf augmentation, also known as calf implant surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and contour of the calves. This procedure involves the placement of silicone implants into the calf area to create a more defined, symmetrical, or muscular appearance.
The Procedure
Calf augmentation/implant is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and definition of the calf muscles. It typically involves one or more of the following techniques:
- Consultation: The surgeon evaluates your goals and selects the appropriate implant size and shape for your desired calf contour.
- Preparation: Follow pre-surgery guidelines, such as stopping certain medications and preparing for recovery.
- Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation for your comfort.
- Implant Placement: A small incision behind the knee is made, and silicone implants are placed between the calf muscle and tissue for a natural appearance.
- Closure and Aftercare: The incision is closed with sutures, and detailed aftercare instructions are provided to ensure proper healing.
Postoperative Recovery
Calf Augmentation after Surgery recovery involves several stages:
Immediate Recovery: Mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the calf area are normal and can be managed with prescribed pain medication.
Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and prolonged standing or walking for 4-6 weeks to allow proper healing.
Compression Garments: Wear compression garments as recommended to reduce swelling and support the implants during recovery.
Wound Care: Follow instructions for keeping the incision site clean and dry to prevent infection and promote healing.
Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ups with your surgeon are essential to monitor progress and ensure optimal results.
