Do the implants restrict mobility?

No, after full recovery, implants do not restrict mobility. You can run, exercise, and dance. The implants are placed under the muscle fascia and do not affect muscle function.

Can the implants be seen or felt?

With properly sized and correctly placed implants, they look and feel natural. They are soft to the touch and replicate the anatomical shape of the calf muscle.

How long do results last?

Calf implants are placed permanently and do not require replacement. Results are lifelong, though natural tissue changes with age may slightly affect appearance.

Will the scar be noticeable?

The 3–4 cm incision is placed in the popliteal crease — the natural depression behind the knee. The scar becomes invisible within a few months and is not visible even in shorts or swimwear.

What Is calf implants?

Calf augmentation (cruroplasty) is a surgical procedure to increase volume and correct the shape of the calf muscles using silicone implants. The operation helps patients dissatisfied with their leg shape: excessively thin or disproportionately slim calves, calf muscle asymmetry, or bow-legged appearance.

Dr. Khaustov selects implants individually by size and shape, considering body proportions and patient preferences. The implants are made of soft cohesive silicone with an anatomical shape that provides a natural look and feel. They do not restrict mobility or affect physical activity.

At Figura Clinic in Odesa, cruroplasty is performed through a small incision in the popliteal crease, making the scar virtually invisible. The procedure delivers harmonious, proportionate legs.

How the Procedure Works

Consultation

Assessment of leg anatomy, selection of implant size and shape. Discussion of expected results and recovery details.

Preparation

Standard blood tests and examinations. Stop smoking 2 weeks before. Prepare compression stockings.

Surgery

Spinal or general anesthesia, duration 1–1.5 hours. Implants are placed through an incision in the popliteal crease under the calf muscle fascia.

Recovery

Compression stockings for 3–4 weeks. Limited walking for the first few days. Full recovery in 4–6 weeks.

Recovery

After cruroplasty, walking may be uncomfortable for the first 3–5 days — minimizing activity and wearing comfortable low-heeled shoes is recommended. Compression stockings are worn for 3–4 weeks. Swelling persists for 2–4 weeks. Normal walking can resume after one week, sports after 6–8 weeks. The scar in the popliteal crease becomes virtually invisible within 3–6 months.
