Purpose
The purpose of a
calf augmentation by men is it to
enhance the shape and
profile of the calf muscle
with the positioning of
special natural consistent
calf implants.
Methods
and procedures
During the
calf
augmentation
operation that takes from 1
to 1,5 hours, the
special natural consistent
calf implants are positioned
directly over the calf
muscle. There are different
shapes and sizes available.
The patient should discuss
his personal wishes with the
doctor within the personal
consultation when the right
implant can be chosen which fits
the individual wishes and
muscle shape. The implants
are then brought into position
over small incisions placed hiddenly inside the
popliteal.
Anesthesia
General
anesthesia
Hospital
stay
1 day
Recovery
Easy bruising and swelling after
operation is normal and will disappear
within few days. Dressing and sutures
will be removed after few days, or
dissolvable stitches can be applied.
Office work and easy activity is
possible again after 8 days. Sports
and other heavy activity can be
reassumed after 4-6 weeks.
Longevity
The
result of pectoral augmentation is
indefinite.
The implants can be
replaced anytime, although, there is
no medical reason to replace them if
there are no problems.
Notes
The type
and size of implant
is chosen prior to surgery,
based on the measurements of
the calf muscles and the
patients wishes. The consistence
of the calf implants is very similar
to the consistence
of the natural muscles.
Shape and consistency of
quality calf implants are so
natural that it is not
recognizable that there is
an implant even when
touching. The implants are safe, and
durable.
