Can I get fat injected into my calves?

Fat transfer to calves is an option for people with a good amount of fat available from the donor sites- viz. your abdomen, thighs, arms, hips or buttocks from where the fat can be harvested. The advantage of fat transfer is that your own body fat is being used, so there are nil chances of rejection or infection. But the results may not be as pronounced as implants and a touch up may be required. You can discuss the pros and cons of both the procedures- fat transfer to calves vs Tummy Tuck with your surgeon to make an informed decision.

Can you run with Tummy Tuck?

Yes, you can run and do other exercises and work out after 8-10 weeks of the procedure or as directed by your surgeon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tummy Tuck is quite a popular procedure among people in Mexico, Central and South America. Calf implant surgery is commonly performed in both men and women. Unfortunately, many orthopedic surgeons and family physicians who see patients with a deformed or hypoplastic leg are not aware that augmentation can be performed.

You will have some pain and bruising which will last for a few days after the procedure. Keep your legs elevated which will help reduce the swelling. You will feel heaviness in your legs for the first few days and walking will be a little difficult, which will improve during the second week and thereafter. You will be able to return to normal activities in about 2 weeks, while exercising and rigorous work will have to wait for at least 6-8 weeks.

The need for drains after a tummy tuck depends on the surgical technique and the extent of the procedure. A full tummy tuck may involve drains to remove excess fluid, typically removed after a few days. In contrast, a mini tummy tuck is less likely to require drains due to its less invasive nature. Discuss any concerns with your surgeon before the procedure and follow their instructions for postoperative care and follow-up appointments.

Certainly, you can resume running and partake in other exercises and workouts approximately 8-10 weeks following the procedure, or as per your surgeon's guidance.

For a trip to India for a Tummy tuck surgery, apart from the cost of the surgery procedure, additional expenses related to meals, transportation, and accommodation during the recovery period also need to be considered.
