Question

My right leg & calf is smaller than my left. Can fat transfer be done only, or would I need implant as well?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Either approach is acceptable.  I might lean toward fat transfer in you, but either can be performed.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question and the photograph.To correct lower leg asymmetry:Fat transfer is more natural but less reliable and less predictableCalf implants are more reliable and predictableBoth procedures have limitations, risks, and complications

To understand and discuss what might work for you, see two or more board
certified and experienced plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete
evaluation.

I hope this helps.

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

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

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

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.
