Question

I have seen that fat grafting can be done in the calf, I had polio as a child which has left me with my left leg thinner.

I had an implant 4 years ago but I'm disappointed with the results.

Answer

Fat transfer can be used in the calf region, but the results are more modest than in other parts of the body.

I would be happy to evaluate in consultation the degree of treatment and change that would be necessary, and guide you towards the improvement I believe may be achievable.
