Will I be able to wear height increase insoles inside of my shoes after getting calf implant surgery?

May 27, 2022
Asked By:Resourceful556314 in Jupiter, Florida

Gender: Male Height: 5'8 Weight: 160 I wear height increase insoles every day that give me an extra 2 inches of height and boost my confidence. I am worried that I will no longer be able to wear them after calf implant surgery. Will wearing height increase insoles have any negative effects on the short/long term effect of my calf implants?
