My right leg & calf is smaller than my left. Can fat transfer be done only, or would I need implant as well?
Answer: I am wanting my legs to be more symmetrical. What would u advise would be the best option to achieve this? Either approach is acceptable. I might lean toward fat transfer in you, but either can be performed.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Treatment for leg asymmetry The only reliable, predictable and permanent option is to place a calf implant (inner +/- outer) into your right leg. The implants are made of very soft semi-solid silicone rubber and are place through a one inch long incision within a crease in the back of the knee. Because very few board certified plastic surgeon perform this surgery regularly, I highly recommend consulting with one that specializes in calf implants. Glad to help...RAS

Answer: Calf Implant for Asymmetry Your calf asymmetry can be treated by either fat injections or an implant. But a calf implant will have a more predictable outcome. Placing an implant through a very small incision on the back of the knee over the medial head of the calf muscle will create an instant effect that will be permanent.
