Hello, I was born with clubfoot, which was operated on during my infancy. Now my legs are functionally fine but are very skinny, due to which I am shamed to wear shorts. a. Cdalves lack muscles and hence the girth of calf must be improved. b. Shafts of the legs are thin & disproportionate c. Ankles have pits 1. how to correct above points? 2. Implants or Fat graft or combination? 3. Approximate Costs? 4. Risk of losing functionality? 5. Any recommended doctor in Europe? Do I still have hope ? Thank you.
