Calf Implant Procedure


Calf implants are artificial enhancements used to bulk up the appearance of the calf muscles in the lower leg.  This procedure is popular with both men and women who are looking for a more athletically toned lower leg, but are unable to achieve this through exercise. Calf Implants are designed to give you a more balanced appearance with your upper leg shape. This procedure is performed for both aesthetic and reconstructive reasons.  Calf implants create proportionality and improve the appearance of not only the legs but the entire body. All calf implants are made of a silicone material. The implants are solid, but soft.


Ideal candidates should be in good overall health, psychologically stable, and aware that calf implants are intended for aesthetic improvement, not perfection. Patients should arrange a consultation with a qualified cosmetic surgeon to determine whether they are good candidates for calf implants. During this consultation, they should discuss their cosmetic goals and expectations and ask whatever questions they might have about calf implants.  This procedure can be combined with other procedures to produce an end goal of toned legs.  This would include an inner thigh lift, cellulite treatment and liposuction to create a slimmer leg shape.  Also hair removal and IPL (intense pulsed light) can be done to improve skin smoothness, texture and tone.


The calf implant procedure can take up to 2 hours per implant to complete. A general anesthetic is recommended together with an overnight stay in the hospital.  During the calf implant procedure, an incision is made in the natural crease behind the knee. The surgeon then creates a pocket large enough to place the calf implants. Silicone semisolid implants are planted in the calf of each leg.  The calf implants can be placed on both the upper inside or outside of the leg. This area, consisting of muscle and fat, will form scar tissue that will help keep the implant in place. The incision is closed with sutures, and a bandage is applied to reduce swelling and discomfort.


Swelling is moderate for the first week, then gradually resolves.  Mild bruising usually occurs and may cause pooling of the bruise in the lower leg. Most patients can resume very light walking and activities after the first week following calf implant surgery. Vigorous physical activities should be delayed for about six months.


All surgical procedures carry an inherent risk of certain complications. Risks can include infection, blood loss, fluid collection, movement of the implant or scarring. There is also a risk of adverse reaction to anesthesia. Significant complications from calf implants are unusual, however. In extremely rare instances, the calf implants may weaken the nearby muscle. If the implant is infected, ruptures or moves, the implant may have to be removed, which is not always a straightforward procedure. If you think the implant has ruptured you should contact your doctor immediately.


Calf implants is considered a permanent procedure.

  • Australia Economy

    Australia has a prosperous Western-style capitalist economy, with a per capita GDP on par with the four dominant West European economies. Rising output in the domestic economy has been offsetting the global slump, and business and consumer confidence remains robust. The Federal government's emphasis on reform is another factor behind the economy's strength. The recent upturn in global commodity prices has helped Australia's economy grow since 2000.

    While income disparities grew throughout the 80s, especially in outer suburban areas, strong employment growth and mandated minimum conditions for workers ensured that overall living standards kept growing until the 1990s.

  • A step forward in targeted pain therapyOur bodies sense painful stimuli through certain receptors located in the skin, in joints and many internal organs. Specialized nerve fibers relay these signals coming from the periphery to the brain, where pain becomes conscious.
  • The authors of this article discuss whether monitoring initial response to treatment is always helpful in the clinical management of patients. They have developed a framework for deciding whether surrogate outcomes should be used to monitor initial response to treatment in chronic disease. To develop the framework, the authors looked at two scenarios: - Should change in blood pressure be monitored after addition of a diuretic to an angiotensin II receptor blocker in adults with essential hypertension? - Should change in cholesterol be monitored after giving patients with ischaemic heart disease a statin? The following topics are covered in the article: • Rationale and pitfalls of monitoring initial response • Estimating variability in treatment effects between individuals from placebo controlled randomised trials • Blood pressure and lipid lowering • A framework for choosing whether to monitor initial response to a new drug • What to do next The main summary points (taken directly from the article) are provided below: o Clinicians routinely monitor individual patients after they start a new treatment; sometimes this may be unnecessary and even potentially harmful o Monitoring is unlikely to be of value when there is no evidence of variation in the response to treatment or when there is a high probability that therapeutic targets will be met o Data from placebo controlled randomised trials can be used to decide on the need for monitoring initial response in different clinical scenarios o Updating the CONSORT statement to include the detailed reporting of outcome variability will allow clinicians to make informed decisions on the need to monitor initial response to treatment
