Calf Implants

Men and women with lower leg deformities can use calf implants to make their legs look more sculpted and balanced. Doctors insert calf implants over the gastrocnemius muscle that forms the back of the calf to make the muscle appear wider and more developed. Besides patients who are bow-legged or who suffer from club foot, many body builders also get calf implants to enhance their physiques. In the US and UK, calf implant surgery costs around $6,300 or £4,400, but in Latin America and Eastern Europe, the price is less than half.

In Mexico and Costa Rica, plastic surgeons can perform calf implant surgery for about $3,600 or £2,400. Patients traveling to Latin America for cosmetic leg surgery will find no shortage of skilled, experienced surgeons who speak English. Before surgery, the doctor will carefully evaluate the patient's legs to plan the placement and size of the implants. During surgery, the doctor will insert calf implants made of high-grade silicone over the muscle. These implants are the same as those used in US clinics. After surgery, patients can recover in a relaxing tropical environment with cheerful and attentive nurses. Calf implants have a low risk of complications, and patients will be able to walk normally.

In the Czech Republic and Hungary, the price of calf implants is $1,900-$2,900 or £1,300-£2,000. Eastern European doctors study in some of the finest medical schools in Europe, and hospitals are clean and modern.
