Enhance Your Calf Definition and Shape
Calf lift and calf augmentation procedures are designed to enhance the appearance of your calves by reshaping, lifting, and increasing their size, while improving overall symmetry and definition. Ideal for individuals who feel their calves are disproportionately small, sagging, or lack definition despite exercise, these procedures can provide a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing lower body contour.
What are Calf Lift and Calf Augmentation?
A calf lift addresses sagging skin and tissue in the calf area by tightening and lifting the calf muscles and skin, resulting in firmer, smoother contours. Calf augmentation, on the other hand, involves placing silicone implants or using fat grafting techniques to add volume and enhance the shape of the calves. Our doctors work closely with each patient to determine the most suitable approach to achieve their desired results.
Benefits of Calf Lift and Calf Augmentation
Patients who undergo calf lift or calf augmentation typically experience:
- Enhanced calf size and improved muscular definition
- Firmer, lifted calf contours
- Better proportion between calves, thighs, and overall body frame
- Increased self-confidence and satisfaction with appearance
- More symmetrical lower body contour
How Calf Lift and Calf Augmentation Work
These procedures involve distinct techniques to address specific concerns:
Calf Lift: Excess skin and tissue are carefully removed, and the remaining skin and underlying tissues are tightened and repositioned, resulting in lifted and more defined calves.
Calf Implants: Silicone implants specifically designed for the calf area are surgically placed to enhance calf size and shape. Implants offer a predictable, lasting outcome and can be tailored to meet individual needs.
Fat Transfer (Fat Grafting): This method involves removing excess fat from another part of your body, purifying it, and injecting it into the calves. Fat transfer provides a natural feel and look, ideal for subtle enhancements and improved contour.
The Procedure
Calf lift and augmentation procedures are performed under general anesthesia or sedation and typically take between one to three hours, depending on the specific procedure. Small incisions are strategically placed behind the knee or within natural creases, making any scars discreet. After reshaping, placing implants, or fat injections, incisions are closed, and bandages are applied to support healing.
Recovery and Results
Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort for several days after these procedures, which is manageable with prescribed pain medication and compression garments. You can generally return to daily activities within 1 to 2 weeks, while strenuous activities should be avoided for about 4 to 6 weeks. Results are immediately noticeable and become more refined as swelling subsides, typically showing optimal outcomes after several months.
