Your surgeon will guide you in these decisions. Implant sizes can vary in length, width and thickness as well as in their contours. Unlike choosing breast implants, it can be difficult to visualise what different sizes and shapes of calf implants will look like once they are in the leg.
Sometimes it helps to place the implants on the sides of the calf and wear stockings over them to see the potential improvement. Your surgeon will help you with this decision. Especiallyin cosmetic calf enhancement, two implants are needed to mimic the calf muscle, because it has two muscle bellies or thick areas.

If you choose a size that is too big for your legs, you may encounter problems arising from excessive pressure. Pain, muscle problems and nerve impingement are common issues with very large implants.

These can be tailored for your specific measurements and allow surgeons much flexibility and precision.
They come in different sizes and shapes to make the fine tuning easier. The other option is to use pliable and sculptable silicone calf implants in pre-made sizes, just as with breast implants. These do not have to be trimmed. The decision is yours, but your surgeon will be able to recommend the best option for you and will have personal preferences from past experience. Because they do not contain liquid or gel, calf implants will not rupture easily or be damaged in contact sports and other vigorous activities.
Your surgeon will suggest the implant appropriate for you. There is one option in Australia to choose from at present. Calf implant insertion is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 2 to 3 hours to complete. During the calf implant procedure, you are turned face down. A small incision is made in the back of your knee. A pocket is created carefully and the calf implant is inserted. The incision is closed. Drains are not required. You should be able to return to a desk type job at about 1 to 2 weeks.
If your job entails more physical activity, you may be able to return to work 3 to 4 weeks after the calf implant procedure. You should be able to resume normal physical activity 4 to 6 weeks after calf implant insertion. All in all, calf implant insertion can dramatically improve your overall appearance, and it would be worth the investment. Though some might even tell you that the procedure is unnecessary, it is still ultimately your decision how you want to look at calf implant augmentation.
