  • I'd love to consult with you. I'm sending the pics now.

  • @princess11222

    We are anxiously awaiting your photos and hope that we can help you have the calves you've always wanted.

  • Are calf implants ideal for people with thin ankles? My ankles are not only thin, but shaped like a pipe and I have high calves. Can the calf implant be put lower to make it look as though I have low calves? Is there a custom made implant for this purpose?

  • @princess11222

    Calf implants would be ideal for people with thin ankles as there is a more obvious progression to the calf muscle...obviously, the right implant makes all the difference. Calf implants are divided into various sizes (small, medium, large) and are selected to meet the patient's need. The implant itself is inserted through an incision behind the knee and a pocket is then created beneath the muscle covering (fascia).

    For any questions please contact Dr.Paul Chugay 858 232 4919

  • @drchugay So calf implants are in fact ideal for people with thin ankles? I was just scared the implant might make the ankle look worse. I wish you didn't live so far away from me so you could take a look because I know you are an expert.

  • @princess11222

    Princess...thanks for your response... As I said, the best patient is one that can show contrast and a cut off between the calf and ankle. If you would like to email me a picture of your calves from front and side views and a contact number, we can perform a consult over the phone and see if you are in fact a good candidate for surgery. My email is docchugay@hotmail.com

    Calf implants are yours for life, or until you want to take them out. They are a semi rigid silicone prosthesis that is placed below the muscle lining in the calf region. The incision is made just behind the knee and the implant is slid through the incision into the pocket that has been created just above the muscle, but below the muscle lining.
