Calf Augmentation 

Robust looking lower legs can significantly enhance a person’s overall appearance. Many people now seek to build their calf muscles through aggressive fitness exercises in order to achieve more attractive and proportionate lower legs. However, it can be difficult to achieve desirable outcomes in this area with exercise alone.

Lower leg implants or calf augmentation cosmetic surgery can provide you a sculpted, more defined, and youthful lower body appearance almost immediately.

Benefits of Lower Leg Implant Surgery

Calf implant plastic surgery provides the following aesthetic benefits to both women and men:

• Well-toned and shapelier lower legs
• Improved lower body symmetry and proportion
• Increased self-confidence and freedom to wear short clothes
• Desirable look for body builders

People with a permanent condition such as spina bifida, or those with natural distortions in the shape of lower legs can benefit from this surgery. It can also improve basic motor capabilities and mobility in some patients.

Calf Augmentation – How does it Work?

Calf augmentation cosmetic surgery involves placement of solid but flexible silicone implants within the natural contours of your lower legs. The procedure will enhance the robust look, size, and definition of your calves. Whether or not you are a body builder, if you wish to attain prominent and more muscular looking calves, you can benefit from lower leg implants.

Calf augmentation may also help some patients who are seeking to correct a physical deformity or imbalance in the lower legs that may exist by birth or may have occurred later because of an injury or medical condition. Your plastic surgeon will help you select from a wide range of calf implant sizes and shapes to meet your aesthetic needs.

Surgical Procedure

One of the popular surgical techniques to perform a calf augmentation surgery is to place the implants through an incision created behind the knee. Your surgeon will first create a surgical pocket within your calf muscle and then place the implant into it. Sometimes a second implant may be inserted and positioned alongside the first one to create a more robust shape.

Once the implant is adjusted into the right position within the calf muscle pocket, the surgeon will then close the incision with sutures. A scar tissue will naturally develop within a few days to envelope the implant and protect it from external pressure. This way the implant can remain firmly in its position for years to come.

Recovery and Results

The procedure is usually performed using general anesthesia. Your surgeon may complete the surgery in about two hours (one hour per calf). You will have to use crutches for a few days until the healing improves. You can expect to return to your normal routine in about one week after the surgery.

Results can be visually appealing or even dramatic in most cases, and you can continue to enjoy a stronger and more proportionate lower body figure for a long time. Female cosmetic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan receives patients from Dallas, Texas, and nearby areas for calf implants surgery.

Skin Removal 

Major weight loss, aging process or multiple pregnancies can cause the skin to become droopy or inelastic over time. In some patients, the loose skin may tend to hang off the body, causing a heavily deflated appearance. The folds of loose skin may cause infection, discomfort, chafing, or skin irritation.

These cosmetic and medical concerns can be addressed successfully with a skin removal surgery. Board certified female plastic surgeon Dr. Farah Naz Khan provides skin removal surgery to patients in Dallas, Texas, and surrounding locations.

Different Skin Removal Surgery Procedures

Skin removal cosmetic surgery can be performed in different areas of the body using proven surgical techniques. Your surgeon will assess the problem areas and the degree of sagging skin in your body and recommend a customized surgical plan. Common skin removal surgery procedures include the following:

• Body Lift: Full body lift or a lower or upper body lift surgery is one of the most effective ways to eliminate excess skin. This procedure can help you get rid of large amounts of loose skin in areas such as the abdomen, flanks, buttocks, thighs, hips, breasts, back and upper arms.

• Abdominoplasty and Panniculectomy: Abdominoplasty or tummy tuck plastic surgery focuses on removing loose skin from the waist and/or flanks areas. It may sometimes be combined with a panniculectomy, if you have a hanging “apron” of skin going down from your abdomen to the pubic area or even up to the thighs.

• Mommy Makeover: This is one of the most comprehensive and customizable cosmetic surgery procedures for moms who want to restore their pre-pregnancy look. It may involve skin removal surgery in one or more areas to create a smoother and more youthful look.

• Body Contouring: If you have stubborn excess fatty tissue deposits in certain areas along with loose skin, you may require a combination of skin removal surgery and liposuction. This type of body contouring surgery will help you restore younger looking and more defined contours following a massive weight loss or other factors.

Are You a Candidate for this Surgery?

You could be a candidate for skin removal plastic surgery if:

• You are unhappy with the appearance of significant amounts of excess skin that will not improve with diet and exercise
• Your loose or sagging skin has become considerably inelastic or overstretched
• Your body weight has stabilized following a bariatric surgery or another weight loss program
• You have no near future plans for a pregnancy or a weight loss procedure
• You are willing to stop smoking for at least a few weeks before and after the surgery
• You are not currently pregnant or nursing

2. Placement of incisions in concealed locations
3. Removal of excess skin through the incisions
4. Tightening, reshaping, and re-draping of remaining skin smoothly over the treatment area
