Calf Implants

The calf area can sometimes be overlooked when discussing male body contouring procedures. However, this is a site where men can greatly benefit from the strategic use of implants. Gaining size in the lower leg is more difficult for men than it is in other areas of the body. At Alpine Plastic Surgery, Dr. Randall Barnett has spent years developing a keen eye for symmetry, proportion, and what will look best on each unique individual. His mastery of contouring techniques and body sculpting makes him an ideal choice for men who wish to improve the contour of their legs through calf implants.

What are Calf Implants?

Calf implants are silicone inserts designed to augment the lower legs, creating more muscle definition and improving leg shape.

Ideal for men who can’t get their calves to the size they desire through exercise alone or have imbalances from injury or medical conditions, calf implants are inserted through small incisions hidden behind the knee to achieve a more sculpted, balanced appearance.

You are a good candidate for calf implants if:

You have underdeveloped calves despite regular exercise or weight training.
You want to enhance lower leg definition for a more athletic appearance.
You have uneven calf size or shape due to injury, surgery, or a medical condition.
You’re in good general health and have realistic expectations about the results.
You’re looking to improve the proportions of your legs to match the rest of your body.

Calf Implants FAQ’s

How do calf implants feel?

Calf implants are constructed of solid silicone. They should feel firm but natural. After healing they should feel similar to well-developed muscle and not move around.

How long does recovery take after surgery?

Patients usually walk carefully within a few days of surgery and return to normal daily activity in about 1 to 2 weeks. Strenuous leg workouts and high-impact activity are usually avoided for 4 to 6 weeks.

Will there be visible scars after the procedure?

Yes, there will be small scars. The incisions are small and go behind the knee, where they are usually well-hidden and fade with time and good care.

Are the results of the procedure permanent?

Yes, calf implants are long-lasting. As long as your weight stays stable and you follow your post-op guidelines, your shape and contour should stay the same.

Can I work out my legs after I have implants?

Yes. You can resume leg exercises after you’ve completely healed. Implants won’t disrupt muscle function. Many patients continue to strengthen and tone their legs after surgery.
