Is my body rejecting my calf implant?

August 2, 2016
Asked By:pree28 in Berlin, GA

I recently had calf implants. My left leg is perfect. No pain and the implant has softened and looks natural. My right leg has quite an issue. The implant is hard and swollen. It has a lump at the base of the implant and the lump has pain. I have been to many medical doctors and they all say that the lump is not an infection as the white blood cells are too low. Can u tell me what to do?

Want 4 calf implants (2x2) but told safer get 2 (1x2) in 1 surgery, what are the risks and est. price? (photos)
Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD says:

It all depends in the calf implant size chosen and how small or tight your calf tissues are. Four calf implants (two in each leg) can be safely placed in most patients as long as the size they have chosen is not too large.
