What can be done to improve the shape and the volume of the calves and the nates ?

The cosmetic surgery of the calves and the nates increases the shape and the size of too small calves and nates , thus improving the appearance of the body and the sense of self-esteem.

 

What type of anaesthesia is used ?

The cosmetic surgery on the calves and the nates can be performed under local-regional anaesthesia with sedation, or under general anaesthesia.

 

Where are the incisions made ?

The most common access areas used by the cosmetic surgery to increase the volume of the calves and the nates are the popliteal fold (behind the knee) and the intergluteal fold, respectively.

 

How long is the operation increasing the volume of the calves and the nates ?

The operation lasts about 1-2 hours and ends with a compressive dressing.

 

What does the preoperative examination consists in ?

During the first examination, the surgeon will assess the shape and size of your calves and nates and show you the possible modifications in the shape and the volume expected from this procedure.

The volume increase of the calves and the nates can be achieved by implanting silicone gel prostheses (similar to those used in additive mastoplasty) or by transferring adipose tissue (fat) taken from a part of your body (lipofilling).

The surgeon will also assess your physical condition in order to exclude the presence of troubles (such as high blood pressure, clotting or healing disorders) which might affect the final result of the operation.
Before the operation you will receive specific information about the preoperative and postoperative diet and the use of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. At the end of the examination, the surgeon, in tune with you, will choose the most suitable surgical procedure, showing you the type of implants to be used or the areas of your body from which to take the fat that will be implanted.
The implants used in the surgery that increases the volume of the calves and the nates are made up of an external silicone cover and an internal part of silicone gel.

 

What happens during the post-operative period ?

During 48 hours following the operation increasing the volume of the calves and the nates you will have to rest up. Starting from the third day, you will be able to resume your normal life, avoiding, nevertheless, tiring activities, saunas, and sweat-baths and sunbathing. During the first two days, swelling, ecchymoses and pain may occur in the treated area (especially in case of implantation of gluteal prostheses). After 7 days, you will be able to resume work, provided that it is not excessively tiring.
Four weeks after the intervention, you will gradually resume all your normal activities, including the sports activity.

 

Are there age limits to undergo the cosmetic surgery of the calves and the nates ?

There are no age limits to undergo this surgical procedure, but it is preferable to wait for the complete development of the body, which normally occurs approximately at the legal age.

 

What the surgical procedures that can be combined with the cosmetic surgery of the calves and the nates ?

This surgical procedure can be performed alone or in association with other surgical interventions such as abdominoplasty, liposuction….

 

What are the risks and the complications of this operation ?

The cosmetic surgery that increases the volume of the calves and the nates is a rather simple surgical procedure, which usually gives excellent results.
However, it is essential not to underestimate the nature and the risks of a surgical operation and not to give in to the temptation to apply to non-specialists who perform low-cost surgery in non-qualified facilities (health centres, consulting rooms, etc.), because it is anyhow a real surgical procedure whose complications (infection, haematomas) are rare but may occur and can be easily resolved only if the intervention is performed by a specialist in plastic surgery and within duly qualified facilities.

In order to reduce the risks of complications, it is anyhow essential to follow the advice and the instructions given by the surgeon carefully before and after the operation. Smokers should reduce the use of cigarettes because smoking may increase the risk of complications and slow down the recovery.

 

What kind of result can be obtained ?

The result achievable by the cosmetic surgery on the calves and the nates is usually very good and long-lasting, but it cannot be described as permanent, in that it is subject to the normal ageing process of the body and to the effects of gravity.
