Calf augmentation with implants will eliminate the curvature of the legs

The curvature of the legs, caused not by bone deformities, but by underdevelopment of muscles or features of the distribution of soft tissues, is effectively corrected by endoprosthetics. With the help of silicone implants, it is possible to correct the contour of the lower leg, add volume to it with underdeveloped muscles, correct the shape of the legs with varus curvature of the lower legs, when there is non-closure of soft tissues in this area of ​​the legs. Calf augmentation with implants has a lasting result, and & nbsp; correction of the legs, relieving the patient of their unwanted visual curvature, significantly improves the quality of his life.

Shin Augmentation:  features of the choice of implants

Implants for leg correction by shin augmentation are selected depending on the purpose of the operation – what kind of shape of the legs is planned to be obtained and which areas of the lower leg need to be corrected for this. Leg augmentation is performed with round or elongated silicone implants. The texture of leg implants can be smooth or rough. Experts suggest that when using rough endoprostheses, the risk of developing capsular contracture is reduced. The fact is that fibrous tissue is formed around the inserted implant. With a smooth implant, the connective tissue fibers are located in the same direction, and with a rough implant – have multidirectional growth due to its relief surface, which significantly reduces the likelihood of complications in the form of contracture.

At the end of the rehabilitation period, with a successful correction of the legs, the implants are not felt when walking, do not move, visually correct the curvature of the legs and give them the necessary volume.

Legs correction: methods of implementation and possible complications

An indication for shin augmentation with implants, in addition to visual improvement in the shape of the legs, is hypotrophy of the shin muscles – congenital or resulting from injury or disease, asymmetry or curvature of the legs.

Shin augmentation with endoprosthetics requires a thorough preliminary examination, since leg correction has a number of serious contraindications:

• thrombophlebitis;
• varicose veins;
• blood clotting disorder;
• exacerbations of chronic diseases;
• inflammatory diseases of the skin.

The endoprosthesis is inserted through an incision in the crease of the popliteal fossa and fixed under the fascia of the calf muscle. Calf augmentation with implants can be combined with liposuction and lipofilling to improve the aesthetic result of the operation.

In the postoperative period, the patient is recommended to wear compression underwear for a month, limiting physical activity. The final result of the calf augmentation can be assessed two months after the leg correction surgery.
