Thank you for your question! I suggest you seek a board certified plastic surgeon, and have a consultation! Implants range in different prices, your doctor will be able to quote you on a price. Best of luck!Dr Dhaval PatelDouble Board Certified Plastic SurgeonChicagoHoffman EstatesOak Brook
Thank you for your question. Please note that many US prices only include the surgeon's fees... whereas in Canada, our prices are all-inclusive. I have performed calf implantation for 6 years, approximately 1-2 per month. I use various shapes of soft-solid (ie non-gel) silicone implants and each model comes in various sizes. I choose the implants based on the patient's anatomy and his desired 'look': The implants are placed under the FASCIA of the original calf muscle (usually the inner part of that muscle). This is of UTMOST importance. The fascia is a very tight and strong layer covering the muscle and it will contain the implant in the original position. It is usually strong enough to undergo the physical stress of sporting activities. Rarely (<3-5%), the capsule that forms around the implant may contract and shift the implant slightly or make it more visible. This could be corrected surgically. It is rare. The procedure is performed in a fully-accredited surgi-center, with board-certified anesthesiologists, under general anesthesia. Cost is 9000$ + taxes, and it includes everything from the surgical fees, the facility, the implants, nurses and anesthesiologists. I learned the technique from the pioneer of calf implant, who is a Canadian. Hope this helps!
