Who Should Opt For Leg Surgery?

Plastic surgery for the calves is recommended for people in Latvia (LV) whose legs are either thin and spindly or are not proportionate to their thighs and upper bodies. Anyone who has failed at improving the shape of their calves through exercise can opt for calf augmentation in order to get better looking legs that can be confidently showed off in shorts, mini skirts and swimwear.

Procedure

Calf augmentation is a body procedure that can be carried out under both local and general anesthesia and takes upwards of an hour. Overnight stay in the hospital or plastic surgeon’s clinic is often recommended. During the plastic surgery, small incisions are made at the sides of the calves. Silicone calf implants are then inserted in between the calf muscles and the incision is sealed with stitches.

Risks and Side Effects

Calf augmentation carries the risks associated with any kind of plastic surgery—excessive bleeding, infection, scarring etc. In some cases, the implants rupture inside and need to be replaced. Temporary bruising, swelling and pain is normal and will go off after a week to ten days. One can start walking a week after leg surgery but total recovery takes 6 weeks to two months.

Costs

Depending upon your choice of clinic, geographical location and your doctor, plastic leg surgery can cost you anything from $2500 to $5000.

Latvia leg surgery - News update:
According to research published in Arthritis and Research Therapy (free full text available at the above link), prolonged use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and biological therapies may reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The authors used data collected as part of QUEST-RA (The Questionnaires in Standard Monitoring of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Program) to look at the prevalence of CV disease amongst non-selected RA outpatients and the relationship between this, clinical features of RA and the use of DMARDs. By October 2006, the QUEST-RA project had enrolled 4,363 patients; the majority were female (78%) and Caucasian (90%). The prevalence for lifetime CV events in the entire sample was 3.2% for myocardial infarction, 1.9% for stroke, and 9.3% for any CV event (although there was considerable variation between different countries). A third (33%) of patients had hypertension; other traditional risk factors included hyperlipidaemia (14%), diabetes (8%), history of smoking (43%) and obesity (18%). After adjusting for traditional risk factors and countries, the authors found that prolonged exposure to methotrexate (HR 0.85; 95% CI 0.81 to 0.89), leflunomide (HR 0.59; 95% CI 0.43 to 0.79), sulfasalazine (HR 0.92; 95% CI 0.87 to 0.98), glucocorticoids (HR 0.95; 95% CI 0.92 to 0.98), and biologic agents (HR 0.42; 95% CI 0.21 to 0.81; P <0.05) was associated with a reduction in the risk of CV morbidity. The authors discuss their findings and the limitations to their study; please see the link above for further details. More...
