Leg Augmentation – Leg Contouring
The legs may be thin and in the shape of ‘C’ as called ‘paranthesis deformity’. Sometimes there is a discrepancy between the thigh and the leg dimensions. In this situation the leg is thickened by insertion of a calf implant or lipoinjection. Insertion of the implant is done through a short incision made on the back side of the knee (poplitea). Fat injection is done without making any incisions.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and lasts for about 1 hour depending on the extent and amount of excision. Hospital stay is not required and the patient can return to work after about a week. The aim is to obtain a proportional and aesthetically charming leg with good contour.
