What is calf augmentation with implants?

Recovery after calf augmentation with implants?
Immediately after surgery, patients can walk, and a compression bandage is worn for seven days. A special brace is recommended for 3-4 weeks to reduce swelling and bruising. Full recovery and return to daily activities typically take several weeks.
Risks after calf augmentation with implants?
