What is the best way to correct a shifting calf implant?

Asked By:911brandon in San Diego, CA

Three months from having calf implants and my left implant shifts up into the inner fold of my knee. It’s so bad that I have to wrap it at bedtime just so it won’t shift. My surgeon recommended making another incision and suturing it so it doesn’t move. Would that be the correct approach?
