You’ve worked hard in the gym and done your best to eat clean and live healthy — so why won’t certain parts of your body cooperate? Unfortunately, some muscle groups, like those in the lower legs and chest, may particularly resist muscle-building efforts.

If this frustration sounds familiar, implants may be an effective way to achieve the sculpted and masculine look you’ve worked so hard for.

Dr. Christopher Craft, a triple board-certified plastic, general, and trauma surgeon, has extensive experience performing calf and pectoral implant surgeries for men seeking greater muscle definition. At our accredited and certified on-site surgical facility in Miami, our team provides expert care, ensuring a seamless experience from your consultation to recovery.

Read on to learn what you need to know about lower leg and chest implants.

Calf Implants for Proportional Legs

Even with targeted strength training, the calves can be a stubborn area to develop. Genetics play a big role in muscle growth, and for some men, no amount of exercise will create the balanced, muscular lower legs they desire.

If your upper legs look muscular, firm, and healthy but your calves look thin in comparison, calf implants can provide an effective solution by enhancing the shape and size of the calves for a stronger, more proportional look.

Dr. Craft places custom-shaped silicone implants in a pocket atop the calf muscle for the calf implant procedure. This is typically a general anesthesia surgery that Dr. Craft performs here in our state-of-the-art surgical suite in the office.

Because the incision is in the back of the knee, it’s very discreet. Most men have minimal visible scarring long term.

Some swelling and bruising are normal in the days immediately after the procedure, but you’ll be able to see results immediately. Walking can help you recover, and Dr. Craft guides your return to full activity within around six weeks or so, though it can vary with each man.

Pectoral Implants for a Sculpted Chest

A well-defined chest is one of the most admired aspects of the masculine physique. But, if your genetics are working against you and it seems impossible to get the large, full pecs you want, pectoral implants can be a great solution. 

As with calf implants, pec implants are a soft, flexible silicone that mimics the look and feel of natural muscles. Your implants are custom-chosen for your unique anatomy.

Dr. Craft performs this procedure in our on-site surgery center. The incisions are hidden in the armpits, so there’s virtually no worry about visible scarring.

Recovery is similar to calf implants, with specific guidelines from Dr. Craft regarding chest exercise and strenuous activity. Full recovery may take around six weeks.
