Can my calf be reconstructed to match my other calf? (Effects of club foot) (photos)

Indeed, calf implants to correct asymmetry from club foot surgery is the gold standard surgical option. Other than favorable genetics combined with rigorous consistent exercise, there is no other way to augment or restore (in the cases of genetic or aquired disease/trauma) the calf muscles besides calf implants. I do not recommend fat transfer to the calfs for several reasons: 1) it is highly unlikely that the fat will survive in this area, 2) the dying fat may get infected and likely infect the implant as well, 3) whatever fat does survive may be lumpy-bumpy and uneven with the opposite side. Bottom line, fat transfer will NOT work, period! About the same can be said about “fillers” with the addition that they have a high potential for migration when injected in large volumes such as this. Please keep in mind that a relatively few number of board certified plastic surgeon specialize in. calf implants so may have to travel far and away from home to seek consultation with this particular surgeon. Glad to be of help.

The definitive procedure for gastrocnemius muscle enlargement in club foot is calf implants. The combination of an inner and outer calf implant for each muscle head will go a long way in getting calf sizes that are a lot closer in size than they are now.
