Body · Surgical procedure
Calf implant surgery places a silicone implant to add volume and definition to the area — an alternative for those who cannot achieve that development through exercise. It is performed on both men and women, with a discreet incision in the crease behind the knee.
Goals of the procedure
Every surgical procedure involves risks. An individual evaluation with a plastic surgeon is essential to determine the appropriate treatment for each case.
Frequently asked questions

The incision is placed in the natural crease behind the knee, an area where the scar tends to become discreet as it matures.
The return is gradual: light walks first; intense lower-body workouts only after clearance from the surgeon.
In selected cases, yes — the implant can be used to address volume differences between the calves, after an individual evaluation.
The next step
The right decision begins with a good conversation. Bring your questions: an individual evaluation is the first step of any plan.
