How Much Pressure Will Burst a Calf Implant? I am involved in a variety of contact sports and I am wondering what is the likelihood that a calf implant will burst from a heavy impact, or if pressure is applied to it for a long period of time (such as in a jiu-jitsu match)?

A: Calf Implants are very durable

Calf implants are made of a solid silicone material, and therefore they can not "burst". This is different from breast implants, which are silicone shells filled with either salt water or silicone gel. You need not worry about the durability of calf implants. They will last a lifetime.

Will I Be Able to Run Marathon After Calf Augmentation? I am a competitive runner and considering calf augmentation. Will I be able to go back to marathon running after the procedure and if yes, whenis the safest time? Also, what are the LONG-term outcomes of silicone implants? Great thanks for response!

A: No problem running following calf implants

You should have no problems running a marathon following calf implants. Properly done, the implants should have no negative effect on your muscles. Of course, there will be some discomfort initially after the surgery, and it may be several weeks before you feel like running long distance. Ultimately, you should be able to resume your normal physical activity.
