CALF IMPLANTS BALA CYNWYD, PA | DR. CRAIG MEZROW, MS, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING CALF AUGMENTATION

Calf augmentation using implants is the primary method to enlarge and
shape lower legs. The procedure involves solid, soft silicone implants
designed to address concerns about thin or disproportionate leg
contours. Individuals with naturally slim legs can enhance their leg
appearance through this specialized surgical technique.

IMPLANT CHARACTERISTICS

 	* Made of solid, soft silicone
	* Available in multiple sizes and styles
	* Customizable to individual body proportions

SURGICAL CONSULTATION PROCESS

During the initial consultation, Dr. Mezrow conducts a comprehensive
evaluation to understand patient expectations and determine realistic
outcomes. A thorough medical and surgical history review precedes a
detailed leg examination, potentially recommending one or two implants
per leg to enhance specific leg regions.

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

Calf implant surgery is an outpatient procedure typically performed
under general anesthesia. The process involves creating small
incisions behind each knee, establishing a precise pocket, and
positioning silicone implants over existing gastrocnemius muscles. The
entire procedure generally takes approximately 1-2 hours.

PROCEDURE HIGHLIGHTS

 	* Outpatient surgical procedure
	* General anesthesia
	* Small incisions behind knees
	* Implant placement over muscle

RECOVERY AND HEALING

Post-surgical recovery involves rest and careful monitoring. Patients
can expect varying degrees of swelling and bruising, which resolve
over time. Strenuous activities should be avoided for four to six
weeks to prevent implant shifting or complications. Most patients can
return to non-strenuous work within one week.

POTENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS

While significant complications are infrequent, patients should
understand potential risks such as infection, bleeding, implant
misalignment, and sensation changes. Dr. Mezrow provides comprehensive
pre-and post-operative instructions to minimize complications and
optimize surgical outcomes.

LONG-TERM RESULTS

The complete healing process can take up to a year, with patients
experiencing gradual improvements in leg appearance and confidence.
Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress and
ensure optimal surgical results.
