What are Calf Lifts?
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 also called 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
What Should I Know About 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.
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.
