Calf Augmentation
Who is a Candidate for Calf Augmentation? Both men and women can be dissatisfied with the contour of their lower legs (calfs). This can be a life long concern or occur with age or injury. Calf augmentation is for otherwise healthy individuals looking to improve the contour or symmetry of their lower legs.
Planned Results: Improved contour and symmetry of the lower legs.
Procedure Description: Calf augmentation is done under general anesthetic. You will be required to have an adult drive you home and stay the night with you. Private nursing care can be arranged through U Cosmetic at an additional cost.
Calf augmentation is completed through incisions behind your knee. The implants are made of silicone similar to breast implants but more firm. The incision is closed with dissolvable internal stitches.
Recuperation and Healing: You will have some swelling, bruising and discomfort. You will be sent home with prescription medications to keep you comfortable. You will be encouraged to return to your usual daily activities as soon as possible. Prolonged bed rest can lead to serious complications. You should avoid any activity that increases your blood pressure for 48 hours and avoid lower body workouts for 4 weeks.
Notes: Infection of the implants is a serious complication. You will be sent home with antibiotics and it is very important you take the pills as directed and finish the complete course. Care of the incisions is also extremely important. You will be provided with details of wound care on discharge home. All possible complications will be discussed at your consultation
