How is a Calf Implants procedure performed?
The procedure is usually performed under Light Sleep Sedation with local anesthetic or general anesthetic. The patient will be laid on his/her stomach and an incision will be made in the natural crease of the back of the knee. A pocket is made under the fascia (thick white covering for muscles) separating it from the muscle itself and the implant is placed between the fascia and muscle. The implant is situated and then the pocket is then sutured.
