Calf Augmentation. Prices, Reviews, Ratings
General information
Initially, cruroplasty was used to restore an acceptable appearance to the shin, injured for one reason or another. However, functional abilities were not restored. At the moment, cruroplasty occupies one of the leading positions among operations aimed at correcting the shape of the legs, since it is less traumatic than osteotomy, which requires resorting to artificial bone fractures so that they heal correctly. Instead, cruroplasty offers implantation of silicone inserts, which are used both in cases of significant tissue deficiency and for correction (at least external and partial) of O-shaped curvature of the leg.
During the operation, the surgeon uses high-tech implants that are equipped with a durable shell, contain a special gel, and therefore perfectly copy the properties of human tissues.
Procedure
Preparation
Before the operation, in addition to standard tests (for example, a blood test, which is taken to identify its coagulability indicators and other characteristics), an X-ray is also taken so that the surgeon can develop an accurate plan for the operation, adjust the number and angle of the implants relative to the shin bone.
Cruroplasty procedure
The operation is performed under general anesthesia, so observation an anesthesiologist-resuscitator is required. The surgeon makes a small incision about 4-5 centimeters long. Through it, the implant is inserted, which is placed under the calf muscle. The entire procedure lasts about 50-90 minutes and rarely takes more than 2 hours. In order not to disrupt the cosmetic effect, the incisions are made on the popliteal cap, in the area of u200bu200bconstant skin flexion, so the remaining scars are almost invisible.
Rehabilitation course
The stitches after the operation are removed after a week or 10 days, the swelling goes away after two weeks. Cruroplasty is considered an easy operation for the body to tolerate, since there is no effect on either bones or muscles. However, discomfort and pain will bother you at first, especially when walking. You should wear special compression stockings and avoid serious physical activity for the next month and a half.
Indications
The indication for calf augmentation is the patient's desire to improve the shape of the legs. Implants visually enlarge the calf, making it more proportional. Cruroplasty is also used to correct post-traumatic consequences and congenital defects.
Contraindications
Contraindications for cruroplasty include:
- presence of neoplasms in the shin;
- poor blood clotting;
- varicose veins;
- diabetes mellitus.
The operation is permitted only for adults.
Complications
The presence of complications in most cases is due to the low quality of the implants or the negligence of the surgeon. However, occasionally a person can feel the edges of the implanted silicone formations, especially if the legs themselves are thin. Other complications:
- hematomas due to burst vessels;
- suppuration.
These complications are typical for many types of surgical intervention.
Prices and clinics
This operation is performed in specialized clinics, and the price depends on both the professionalism of the doctor and the quality of the implant itself, and it is better not to save on this.
