Before / After

What is Calf Augmentation Surgery?

Calf augmentation surgery is a procedure to improve the appearance of the calf muscle for a more defined and balanced lower leg shape.

The curvature of the medial or inner part of the leg gives an excellent shape to the leg as a whole, and a good distinction between the calf and the ankles accentuates this.

Men and women both seek calf augmentation; however, the proportion of men seeking this correction is more. Some undergo this purely for cosmetic reasons to enhance the appearance of their legs. Others seek it as a restorative treatment after an illness, accident, injury, or disease affecting their lower legs.

Skinny legs or chicken legs are treated by augmentation with implants or autologous fat transfer. Skinny legs usually occur because the calf muscle is deficient or not as well developed. Usually, the medial (inner) component is more involved as it gives the bulk and contour to the leg.

We undertake calf augmentation using Autologous Fat Transfer when diffuse enlargement is required and if the ankles are skinny.

Calf Enlargement Surgery Process

Calf enlargement surgery is usually done under sedation, local anesthesia, or a regional block. Dr. Aiache in the US developed the calf implantation procedure.

You will be lying on your stomach during the procedure. This surgery is performed by inserting a silicone implant (calf growth implants). The incision is behind the knee within the knee fold, from where the implant is inserted. Because of the deep positioning, the implant is not visible.

The implant size and shape have to be assessed pre-operatively after measuring the leg, which will give an idea about the size. Like a breast implant, the volume of the implant has to be decided according to the skin quality and the size of the leg.

Too big an implant might compromise the blood supply to the skin or the whole leg. A single implant on the medial side usually gives adequate results in women. In contrast, in men, two implants for the medial (inner) and lateral (outer) sides are required, the medial being larger than the lateral.

The surgeon will check both the legs for symmetry and make adjustments. Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures and dressing applied.

 

Recovery from Calf Augmentation Surgery

The patient needs to rest for a week following the calf enlargement surgery in Bangalore, though they are ambulated the same day. One has to wear heels for the next three weeks.

Pain and discomfort slowly decrease over the next 2 – 3 days. The patient can be up and about for routine activities around a week after surgery, and running should be avoided till around three weeks after the surgery.

Avoid strenuous activities or heavy exercise for at least 6 to 8 weeks. Scars usually heal without much problem as they are in the skin crease.

Risks Associated with a Calf Enlargement Surgery

Calf augmentation surgery in Bangalore at Aesthetics Plus is usually very well tolerated. However, it is crucial that the pre-operative planning is done correctly and the implants are the right size for the leg.

Using too big implants or too many in a tight leg may lead to problems like extrusion of the implant or a compartment syndrome; it is basically like stuffing too many people into a small windowless room.

Other risks include bleeding, infection, anesthesia, scarring, change of leg sensation, and asymmetry.

Problems of unevenness and ridges are evident in the leg in the initial periods. But, with massages and the swelling subsides, these ridges even out.

Rarely there might be a need to refine these ridges with a session of superficial liposuction, usually a minor procedure.

Like all other surgeries, calf implant surgery also has its risks; choosing a skilled and board-certified plastic surgeon is the way to minimize the risks.

Calf Augmentation with Autologous Fat Transfer

Another option for calf enlargement is through AFT. AFT helps define and shape your calves to give you greater confidence to flaunt your legs in short dresses. In AFT, the fat is collected from one part of the body, like the abdomen, hips, and thighs, and transferred to the calf through a tiny opening.

After the surgery, the patient may experience some slight bruising, swelling, and soreness. These issues soon settle in a day or two. The patient can continue with normal activities after a few days with return to full activity after 5 to 7 days. However, you should avoid strenuous activities and exercise for at least six weeks after the surgery.

With time, a portion of the fat can get reabsorbed, and some patients may need repeat injections. However, with time the fat settles and gives natural and attractive contours.

 

Cost of Calf Augmentation Surgery

Many factors determine the cost of calf augmentation surgery in Bangalore. The extent of augmentation required, the technique, implant cost, surgeon’s expertise, anesthesia, and clinical facilities dictate the cost.

Every patient’s case is different. Send in you pictures through WhatsApp or email to get an estimated cost. We can offer you an accurate quote only after a consultation with our surgeons.

Liposculpting of Legs

Liposuction is ideal for patients with thick legs. Here the smooth curves of the leg are lost, and the leg looks like a “tree trunk legs” with no distinction between the upper and lower leg. It is also known in many circles as “cankles.“

Reshaping/liposculpting of the leg involves bringing out the muscular shape of the leg. We can see a gentle curve from the calf down to the ankle, broad in the upper third and thinner at the ankle.

This procedure is carried out under anesthesia preferably. Here we shape the leg all around through tiny incisions at the front/back of the ankle and front/back of the knee. The patient must wear compression stockings for three to four weeks following surgery. The bruising usually subsides by two weeks, but swelling resolves slowly over three months.
