When Should You Consider Calf Implants
Male patients from Los Angeles who consider calf implants:
- Seek to emphasize the bulk of the calf muscle
- Desire a lower leg more anatomically proportionate to your thigh (usually women)
- If you are a male bodybuilder and you’ve reached the plateau of calf development with exercise, but you’re not satisfied with the definition of your lower leg
- If wish to correct lower leg defects resulting from injury; disease, such as polio; or from birth conditions
The Surgery procedure
Implants are inserted through an incision behind the knee. Through small incisions, implants can be inserted to create improved calf definition. Dr. Steinbrech can even use your fat to increase the size of your calves, so that nothing artificial may be needed to correct a natural deformity or to increase the size of the leg.
Implants in the calves are also used for reconstructive surgery to help correct deformities or congenital defects. Once inserted through the small incision behind the knee, it is placed positioned behind the fascia immediately under the skin in front of the posterior muscles of the calves. The implants are placed in what is known as the posterior compartment.
Benefits
Calf implant surgery is performed either for elective purposes or to treat medical conditions or injuries affecting the calves. If you are bothered by a calf that is disproportionate to your thighs and does not respond to weight training or exercise, t
