Calf Implants in Miami, FL

Understanding Calf Augmentation

Calf implants are sophisticated medical-grade silicone devices designed to increase the size and improve the shape of calf muscles. These specialized implants serve both aesthetic and reconstructive purposes for individuals seeking enhanced lower leg contours.

Patient Candidacy for Calf Implants

Ideal candidates for calf implants include individuals who:

• Cannot achieve desired calf muscle definition through exercise
• Have muscle imbalances from physical or congenital conditions
• Want to create better proportionality between lower legs and thighs
• Seek correction for injury or disease-related lower leg deformities

Implant Types and Characteristics

Cosmetique Cosmetic Surgery Center offers two primary calf implant variations:

• Solid silicone implants with customizable shaping
• Silicone gel implants with firmer structural integrity

Surgical Procedure Details

The calf implant procedure is an outpatient surgery performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting between 1-2 hours. Dr. Robert Hunsaker creates a discreet incision behind the knee, carefully placing implants beneath the muscle fascia to ensure natural-looking results.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect a structured recovery process with gradual return to normal activities:

• Initial recovery period: 1-2 weeks
• Return to work: Approximately 7 days post-surgery
• Full activity resumption: 4-6 weeks

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, calf implants carry inherent risks such as potential implant displacement, asymmetry, or nerve damage. Selecting a board-certified plastic surgeon minimizes these complications.
