What to Know Before You Go
💡 Pro Tip: For athletic patients, asymmetrical implants often provide the most natural appearance, mimicking the natural gastrocnemius muscle shape. Discuss implant shape options with your surgeon.
⚠️ Insider Note: Calf implant incisions are hidden in the knee crease and heal to thin lines that are virtually invisible. This is one of the most discreet body enhancement procedures available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will calf implants look natural?
Yes, when properly sized and placed by an experienced surgeon. Asymmetrical implants mimic natural muscle shape for the most realistic results.
Can I exercise with calf implants?
Yes, after full recovery (6-8 weeks) you can exercise normally including running, jumping, and weightlifting with no restrictions.
How long do calf implants last?
Calf implants are permanent and designed to last a lifetime. They're solid silicone and don't need regular replacement.
Will people be able to tell I have implants?
No, properly done calf implants are undetectable. The incision is hidden behind the knee and the implant feels like muscle tissue.
Is the surgery painful?
Moderate discomfort is expected for the first week, rated 4-5/10. Walking is limited initially but improves quickly with each day.
Can both legs be done at once?
Yes, both legs are typically done in the same surgery, which is more efficient and cost-effective for the patient.
What if I'm unhappy with the size?
Implants can be removed or exchanged for a different size if needed, though this requires an additional surgical procedure.
Are there any permanent activity restrictions?
No permanent restrictions. Avoid heavy leg exercises for 6-8 weeks during healing, then resume all activities normally.
