Fat Transfer to Calves

Have you been working out, but haven’t quite been able to add that extra definition and weight to your calves? Fat transfer to calves can quickly and safely give you the results you have been working for, and make your calves appear more in proportion with the rest of your body.

As well as fat transfers to calves, Centre for Surgery also offers calf implants.

Our clinic at 106 Crawford Street was recently inspected and rated as good across all 5 domains.

All our surgeons are on the GMC specialist register for plastic surgery. The Royal College of Surgeons of England has an excellent information resource on cosmetic surgery.

• Significant experience in all types of calf augmentation surgery – single implants, dual implants and custom made implants as well as fat transfer techniques
• We own and manage our own surgical facilities. Properly performed calf augmentation surgery takes time as it is technically challenging surgery and should not be rushed. Our surgeons perform a maximum of one calf implant procedure in a day. We do not cram 3-4 procedures into one day like other providers. You want your surgeon to be well-rested and mentally and physically sharp to perform calf implant surgery to get the very best results.

• Our surgeons live and work in London. We don’t work with ‘fly-in, fly-out’ surgeons from Italy. This is very important because whilst your surgeon takes all precautions to minimise complications, complications can and do occur and our surgeons are readily available to manage any issues if and when they arise. Calf augmentation surgery is not risk-free and our expert nursing team will therefore monitor you very closely under the expert supervision of your surgeon to make sure you are healing well and to minimise the risk of complications developing.

Centre for Surgery offers finance options in conjunction with our finance partner, Chrisalis Finance.

Calf augmentation is a surgical procedure in which underdeveloped calves are enhanced to achieve a toned, well- proportioned leg. Calf augmentation can be performed using custom silicone calf implants or fat transfer.

Most would like to have a curvaceous, full, natural looking calves that look strong and at the same time, shapely. But despite a regular exercise and having a proper diet, it can be very difficult hard to achieve a well-toned leg. Even exercises that concentrate on developing the musculature of the lower legs do not assure you get the best looking calves. This is why a lot of people may request for calf augmentation using calf implants to either fill out those thin legs or to have their legs perfectly sculpted.

If you would like to improve your legs to achieve an aesthetically pleasing more balanced appearance of your calves then calf augmentation surgery is right for you. Calf augmentation surgery can correct deformities resulting from an injury or with which you were born or developed in adulthood. 

You should be realistic as to what can be achieved by calf augmentation surgery and understand the risks and side effects of this surgery.

Calf enhancement with fat transfer is performed under a general anaesthetic known as TIVA or total intravenous anaesthesia The procedure is performed as a day case and will take approximately two to three hours.

Fat first needs to be harvested from areas where you would like fat to be removed. The fat is then prepared prior to being injected into the calf to achieve the optimum size and shape.

After calf fat transfer, you should expect to experience mild pain or discomfort, which will last for five to seven days. During this time it is normal to have some bruising and swelling.

You should be back to your normal day-to-day life after around two weeks. However, you will have to avoid strenuous exercise for at least six weeks.
