I have a smaller calf due to surgeries for a club foot. I would like to know if the NHS would pay for the surgery?

Question

I was born with a club foot and had multiple corrections done and because of this my calf muscle on the one leg is smaller it bothers me so much as it is very obvious and people notice it all the time.

Dear NikkiClarke123,
it is unlikely that your insurance will cover the costs of calf implants. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Indeed club foot is a not uncommon reason patients like yourself seek calf implants surgery. However unfortunately, in performing this procedure for nearly 20 years I have not known if any insurance company to provide payment. Glad to be of help
