45 Year Old Male - Minneapolis, MN

The surgery itself was under 2 hours. Right after the surgery there was some discomfort. I was advised to rest and elevate my legs for the next two weeks. Its only been 8 days since my surgery. There is still some discomfort but my pain meds have helped. I'm able to walk to make my meals and use the bathroom. I can tell that the past couple days its getting easier to walk. I'm looking forward to a full recovery.

I had been contemplating calf implant(s) surgery for a while. I did my research on the procedure, but I knew the most important aspect of this surgery was finding a well qualified/experienced plastic surgeon. Finding a Midwest Plastic Surgeon that performs calf implant surgery proved to be a challenge. Then along came Dr. Tholen from Minneapolis Plastic Surgery. Dr Tholen performed a few non invasive Facial procedures on me in the past. I one day asked him if he preformed calf implant surgeries. He said yes. I scheduled the procedure for April 18, 2014. He has been preforming calf implant surgeries for years. I was able to contact past clients who had this procedure - they all have Dr Tholen a ringing endorsement. I now know why. My experience was excellent. Dr Tholen took time to answer all my questions pre-op. He measured and fit me for the perfect size implants. The surgery itself went great. I am now on my way to a full recovery. I love my calves. They look so natural and my self confidence is beyond belief. Thank you Dr Tholen and your wonderful staff. You changed my life.
