How soon after calf augmentation can I start walking?

October 24, 2016
Asked By:Amber0890 in American Canyon, CA

I read here that a patient had to use crutches after calf implants. Is that to be expected? If so for how long? How soon will I be able to walk? How soon can I fly by airplane? How soon can I resume my normal workout (I do heavy body building to increase muscle mass on my thighs and lower body in general)? I am a thin, 29-yr old female in good health.
