Question

What surgery would I need to even out my leg asymmetry? The right leg (calf and thigh) and bum is noticeably bigger than the left.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

From the photograph I can determine the nature the asymmetry but it looks as though the volume of the gastrocnemius. Is asymmetric. If this is the case she would be a good candidate for calf implants.

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

The easiest area of your leg asymmetry to improve is the calf with a simple subfascial implant placement. The thigh and buttocks would require extensive fat grafting but that depends on how much fat you have to harvest and how well the fat takes. Such broad areas of fat grafting tend to be less effective with decreased fat take.

Dear Ann,Many thanks for the question.I see many such patients and to be true, I don't know the reasons for such a presentation except long back it was seen following polio.Having said that, the treatment for sure is by fat grafting, provided you have some extra fat in your body.You may need couple of sessions every one year to reach the wanted result.Wish you all the best
