Are calf implants more dangerous than breast implants?

Question

Hey , are calfimplants more dangerous than breast implants, im asking because im gonna get calf implants soon and im nervous and anxious

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

Essentially all implant procedures carry similar risks. Although calf implants are much more rare than breast implants, I perform calf  implants relatively frequently ( about 2 to 3 times per month).  Like any surgical procedure, as long as you go to a reputable surgeon that specializes in the procedure your risk profile should be low.  Please read on for more  General details about calf augmentation with implants:Other than favorable genetics combined with rigorous consistent exercise, there is no other way to grow the calf muscles besides calf implants. Surgical prices vary by region, surgeon reputation, and surgical experience.  However, very few plastic surgeons specialize in this operation so you may have to travel a long distance to one that does. The implants are made of soft semi-solid silicone rubber and placed surgically through a small (3/4 inch) incision in a natural crease behind the knee. All surgery comes with post-operative pain and recovery.  For calf implants, the first two weeks after surgery is the most difficult time because walking is painful. Recovery usually progresses at a smooth steady pace from there. Glad to help.
