Calf Lift Surgery Specialist in Fairfax, VA

Calf lift surgery, also known as calf augmentation, is a cosmetic procedure that is performed to enhance the shape as well as the size of the calves to help patients achieve their desired appearance. The procedure uses the insertion of silicone implants into the calf muscles to provide a fuller, more balanced appearance.
 
Calf lift surgery may be beneficial for individuals who feel their calves are disproportionately small or underdeveloped despite regular exercise. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, with small incisions made behind the knees to insert the implants, ensuring a natural look.
 
The specialists at Victoria Plastic Surgery Center employ advanced techniques to achieve smooth and natural results, helping patients attain a more aesthetically pleasing leg contour. Typically, the surgery lasts about one to two hours, and patients can return to their homes the same day as the procedure.
 
The recovery period will require patients to manage some swelling and discomfort as directed, which can be alleviated with pain medication and leg elevation. Many patients seek calf lift surgery not only for aesthetic reasons but also to boost their confidence, especially when wearing shorts or swimwear. The results are long-lasting, significantly enhancing the shape and volume of the calves.

Ideal candidates for calf lift surgery are healthy individuals who wish to change either the size or shape of their calves, or both. This includes those who have not seen desired improvements through exercise and those with congenital or trauma-related calf asymmetry.
 
The specialists at Victoria Plastic Surgery Center assess each patient’s medical history along with their physical condition and aesthetic goals to determine if calf lift surgery is appropriate. Candidates should approach calf lift surgery with appropriate expectations and be committed to following post-operative care instructions to achieve the best outcomes.
 
Patients must understand that while calf lift surgery can significantly improve calf appearance, it requires a commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Individuals who have certain medical conditions, like a history of blood clots or circulation issues, may need to consider alternative options.
 
During the consultation, the attending specialist at Victoria Plastic Surgery Center will evaluate the patient’s suitability for the procedure, ensuring it aligns with their health and aesthetic objectives.

Recovery from calf lift surgery generally takes a few weeks, during which patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the calf area. Pain and discomfort can be managed through the use of prescribed medications and by keeping the legs elevated. Patients will be instructed to try and avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least six weeks to allow proper healing.
 
The specialists at Victoria Plastic Surgery Center provide comprehensive aftercare instructions that can help promote a smooth recovery process. By adhering to post-operative guidelines, patients can maximize their recovery and achieve the best results from their calf lift surgery. Over time, the swelling will subside, revealing the enhanced shape and volume of the calves.

While incisions are necessary for calf lift surgery, the scars are typically minimal and strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The incisions are made in the creases that are behind the knees, which helps conceal the scars within the folds of the skin.
 
Over time, these scars will typically begin to fade and gradually become less noticeable. The specialists at Victoria Plastic Surgery Center use advanced surgical techniques to minimize scarring and help promote optimal healing.
 
Patients should be prepared to follow all post-operative care instructions to support proper healing and reduce the visibility of scars. Being careful to keep the incision site scene and in some cases, undergoing scar treatments can further improve the appearance of scars over time. While some scarring is inevitable, the benefits of the surgery, such as improved calf shape and increased confidence, often outweigh concerns about scarring.
 
Regular follow-up visits with the surgeon at Victoria Plastic Surgery Center will ensure the healing process is on track and guide scar management for the best possible results.
