Calf augmentation or placement of implants and prostheses in the legs, is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the size and shape of the calves for different reasons, legs that are too thin, certain diseases, etc…
Through an incision located in a fold of the popliteal fossa (upper posterior knee), the superficial fascia of the leg is penetrated, making a pocket between it and the deep aponeurosis of the thighs. calves, from the site of the approach to the site of the muscle where the Achilles tendon begins, and the width of the leg. This way we will increase the volume of the calves in a appreciable and discreet way.
Usually biodimensional prostheses are placed. Before the intervention, the most suitable implant will be selected for the patient's dimensions.
It is closed with sutures in 3 planes, sterile dressings are placed, and a compression bandage of the entire leg, to avoid edema and displacement of the implants.
The first few days you will feel light discomfort that will be treated with analgesics. We recommend 2 days of bed rest preferably face down and avoid excessive walking. In two or three days the drains are removed.
The first few weeks you will have some inflammation and strange sensations on your skin that will gradually decrease. The sutures will be removed in approximately two weeks. the recovery of the legs to their normal appearance will take approximately one month.
We recommend the use of a soft compressive elastic press for 15 days after the intervention. The feet should rest in an elevated position a few times a day for the first 15 days.
