Calf replacement surgery: for whom?

Calf replacement surgery is an advanced surgical procedure specifically designed to improve the appearance and contour of the calves. The technique is suitable for a wide range of patients.

From an aesthetic point of view, this surgery is particularly beneficial for people wishing to correct a noticeable asymmetry between the calves or to give their legs a more muscular and harmonious appearance. It is also an ideal solution for those who, despite regular exercise, are unable to achieve the desired shape.

From a medical point of view, calf prostheses are a treatment option of choice for individuals affected by congenital malformations or certain forms of clubfoot, which lead to underdevelopment of the calf muscles. It is also indicated for patients who have suffered muscle atrophy due to neurological diseases or prolonged periods of immobilisation.

This procedure, offered by Dr Arié Azuelos in Paris 7 and Massy, is performed with the highest level of care and precision. Our tailor-made approach ensures a natural and proportionate result, in harmony with the patient’s overall morphology.

How does calf replacement surgery work?

Two to three consultations are necessary to define a surgical plan in collaboration with the patient. This is a privileged opportunity to discuss the problems encountered by the patient and to understand his or her expectations in terms of results.

The consultation also provides an opportunity to analyse the patient’s body to ensure that plastic surgery of the buttocks is indicated for his or her specific case. It will also be determined whether or not buttock augmentation will be carried out using lipofilling, prostheses, both or hyaluronic acid injections. It will also be ascertained whether the patient has any contraindications to this procedure.

In the case of lipofilling, the areas to be liposuctioned will be decided in collaboration with the patient. All areas are potentially suitable for liposuction (stomach, hips, saddlebags, thighs, knees, etc.).

Obviously, buttock augmentation by lipofilling is not suitable for patients who are too thin and have no fat reserves. For these patients, buttock augmentation by prosthesis or hyaluronic acid are still possible solutions.

Finally, the consultation provides an opportunity to explain the precise procedure to the patient, to take photographs that can be used to simulate the results of the operation so as to be as close as possible to the patient’s expectations, and also to provide recommendations to be applied before and/or after the operation, in particular stopping smoking one month before and after the operation (and other medical treatments such as anticoagulants and aspirin), or temporarily suspending certain sporting activities.

How is the calf prosthesis procedure carried out?

Calf replacement surgery is a meticulous process, which begins with an in-depth consultation to understand each patient’s expectations and aesthetic goals. During this procedure, implants, usually made from high-quality medical silicone for its durability and biocompatibility, are inserted into the lower part of the leg. An incision is made in the crease at the back of the knee.

The operation is performed under general anaesthetic by Dr. Arié Azuelos. This approach guarantees maximum comfort and a pain-free experience during the operation.

The number and size of implants are determined according to the patient’s anatomical and aesthetic needs.

The operation generally lasts between one and two hours. After the operation, a short period of rest at the clinic is often necessary. Rigorous post-operative monitoring is carried out to ensure optimal recovery and satisfactory results.

The risks

As with any surgical procedure, there are associated risks, such as infection, reactions to anaesthesia, implant complications, or the need for revision surgery. It is important for anyone considering this operation to discuss it in detail with their plastic surgeon to understand the benefits, risks and expected outcomes of the procedure.

Results and follow-up

After calf replacement surgery, patients can expect visible results that improve not only the aesthetics of the calves, but also the overall balance of the figure.
Post-operative follow-up is a crucial aspect of this process. In the weeks following the operation, Dr Arié Azuelos, cosmetic surgeon in Paris 7 and Massy, holds regular consultations to monitor the healing process and ensure that the implants are fitting properly. This also allows any potential complications to be identified and managed at an early stage.

Full recovery may take several weeks, during which time you will be given specific recommendations to ensure the best possible result. Depending on progress, minor adjustments may be considered to optimise the final appearance. Our aim is to support you every step of the way, ensuring that your results live up to your expectations and make a positive contribution to your body image.

What is the cost of calf surgery ?

Calf replacement surgery is considered to be a cosmetic procedure and is not generally reimbursed by social security in France. However, in certain specific cases where the surgery is carried out for medical rather than cosmetic reasons, such as severe muscular atrophy or congenital malformations, partial or total reimbursement may be possible.

It is important to consult your surgeon to determine whether your situation qualifies for a medical exception. If so, a request for reimbursement may be submitted to the social security system for assessment. Your surgeon will be able to provide you with all the necessary documents and assist you in this process.

However, it is essential to bear in mind that each case is unique and the final decision on reimbursement depends on the social security authorities.
