Leg / Calf Implant
 

Lack of tissue usually in the inner side of the lower part of the knee may sometimes be disturbing. In such a case, a silicone implant inserted through a 4-5 cm incision in the back of the knee shall contribute to the distended appearance of this area.

The operation is usually performed under spinal anaesthesia and completed in approximately one hour.

Along with this problem, there may usually be fat accumulation in the inner sides of the knees. While inserting calf implant, we ususally apply liposuction to the inner sides of the knees.

In this way, the distance observed in the below-knee area seems to have reduced. As a matter of fact, no additional difference or difficulty is experienced other than the fact that the elastic socks which must be worn after the insertion of the implant shall reach above-knee level instead of below-knee level.

Pre-Operation
Post-Operation


Please contact Prof. Dr. Ahmet SEYHAN for further detail...


Pre-Operation:
  • Do not take such pills as Aspirin and its equivalent (ataspin, ecoprin, babyprin, dispril, coraspin) during 15 days prior to and 15 days after the operation. Taking Aspirin may cause excessive blood loss during the operation and spontaneous bleeding after the operation. Take other painkillers if necessary.
  • Stop eating and drinking within six hours prior to the operation.
  • Let your physician know if you have such a condition as influenza, cold, coughing, fever, exhaustion, etc. Your operation may have to be put off.
  • In case your are in your regular menstruation period, your operation may not have to be put off. However, you would better let your physician know.
Post-Operation:
  • You will have been put on a an elastic sock which apply pressure to the below-knee area at the end of the operation. If liposuction has been applied to the inner sides of the knee, then your elastic sock will be at above-knee level. You are recommended to wear these socks for a period of one month.
  • If spinal anaesthesia has been applied, your feet start to move and feel after a rest of some 4-5 hours. You may stand up after this period. Yet, do not ever stand up suddenly at the expiration of this period, you may have staggers. When you feel good, sit for a while and then stand up with the help of somebody who takes your arm.
  • Your painkiller for your pain shall be administered once you are resuscitated after the operation and continue in the subsequent period as well. Pain shall be usually felt when you stand up and gradually reduce and disappear over time. At least 2-3 weeks have to elapse for a painless walk. Wearing high-heel shoes reduces the pain as it reduces the stress in the implant area.
  • If you do not have any nausea six hours after the operation, you may start to drink a few sips of water and then eat and drink by gradually increasing at intervals.
  • Sutures in the back of the knees may be removed 2-3 weeks afterwards. In cases where it will be a problem to come for examination, such sutures may be removed somewhere else.
