Calf implants at Dr. Frederico Vasconcelos – plastic surgery and Cosmética in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, provide a solution for thin or asymmetrical legs. This procedure uses silicone gel prostheses to add volume and shape to the lower limbs. The practice holds prestigious TEMOS, ISAPS, and ASPS accreditations, meeting high international safety standards for plastic surgery.
The surgery focuses on calf augmentation using silicone gel implants. During the procedure, the surgeon makes a small incision of about 2–3 cm in the natural fold behind the knee. This helps hide the scar once the area heals. The surgeon places the implant under the gastrocnemius muscle. This submuscular placement helps the leg look more natural and keeps the implant stable.
The surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours to complete. Patients usually receive either epidural or general anesthesia. Most people stay in the hospital for 12 to 24 hours before going home. This short stay makes the process efficient for those traveling from other cities.
This treatment helps people who cannot gain calf muscle through regular exercise. It is often recommended for those with specific needs, including:
Safety begins before the surgery with a complete clinical and heart evaluation. Patients must stop smoking at least 30 days before the operation. You must also avoid taking blood thinners like aspirin for two weeks before your appointment. Following these steps helps reduce risks during the procedure.
Recovery requires specific care to help the body heal. Patients should rest for about one week after the surgery. You will need to wear elastic compression stockings for one to two months. It is important to avoid leg exercises for one month and keep the scar out of the sun for six months. While you can see changes by the second month, final results usually appear around six months after the operation.
