Thanks for your question! It is difficult to know the correct plan without examining you myself and understanding the extent to your nerve damage. For many patients, calf implants are a great way to instantly increase lower leg volume. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.
This is a problem that can occur with calf implants for no one's fault.
Because of the dynamic nature of the legs, there are a lot of forces that shift the implant and can cause the pocket to widen. There are various options to correct this:
1- If the implant in...
Definitely under the fascia.
However, some people say "under the muscle" when they actually mean "under the fascia of the muscle".
There is almost no benefit from putting them under the actual muscle, which causes too much trauma and complications.
