Shin augmentation

A beautiful and graceful shin is formed due to calf muscles. To some extent, the shin correction is possible through physical activities, but the human shin is "programmed" at the genetic level. It means that in spite of all advertising of the fitness centers, naturally thin shin of a man will never turn to powerful calves of an athlete, and a woman can never get even and beautiful shins of Ale McPherson by means of any exercises.

But what can you do, if you want to have provocatively beautiful legs, and the nature "awarded" you with such trouble as, for example, X-shaped shins? We know the solution! Modern plastic surgery and Platinental can work wonders!

Shin plasty Shin endoprosthesis replacement

Wizards of the Platinental Aesthetic Lounge can perform plastic operations on calf muscles.

Professional sportsmen and body builders know that the answer to the question of how to increase the calf size is not so simple at all. Even wearisome and rather painful trainings for calves do not always result in the desired increase of the shin contour. Shin implantation (insertion of silicone implants into the shin) allows us to increase the calf size, to correct muscles asymmetry and bring them to ideal proportions.

The shin plasty will also help those people who have too thin calves. After insertion of a modern silicone implant into your calf, you will have ideal shins.

And even in case of shin curvature or atrophy, calf implants will help achieve the ideal form of your legs as well.

Also, if you need to reduce the shin size, the solution is calf correction by means of surgical or non-surgical liposuction.

In Platinental, we successfully combine the shin plasty with other types of plastic operations, such as gluteoplasty that increases both shins and buttocks within one operation.

Non-surgical shin increase

If you still think that "silicone into calves" is very dangerous and terrible, and dream of how to increase your shins or how get thin in calves without medical intervention, you should know that non-surgical change of the shin form is hypothetically possible. You can try exercises to increase your calves.

Such exercises for shins do exist, and though painful, they are quite effective when done regularly. However, you should remember that any calf exercises may only correct the size of the calves.

If your goal is to develop calves, to "pump" them up, the physical culture can help you. And if you need your legs a bit thinner – the solution is the same. However, none of the most complex exercises will help in case of shin atrophy and curvature or undeveloped muscles. In such cases, calves may only be increased using shin implants.

Some of you heard about shin lipofilling, e.g. injections of the own fat under your skin. In itself, the method is good enough, but cannot be applied to shins. Just think of how much fat you will need to correct them! Besides, the fat, unlike silicone implants, may resolve to a certain extent after lipofilling.

Shin implants

What is modern shin prosthesis? Super resistant and very elastic implants are filled with cohesive silicone gel. Due to its density, it ideally suits for a calf muscle and is not rejected by human body.

Depending on the specifics of a patient, the doctor can use implants with smooth and textured surface, with liquid and viscous gel.

As for the implant's owner, discomfort will remain for the first three or four weeks, and then you can live your usual life and forget about the silicone implants that have made your dream legs.

How are shin operations performed

As any other plastic operation, shin prosthetics has indications and contra-indications that you should know.

Thus, prosthetics is an ideal way to increase calves, if you have:

• excessively thin legs,
• shin muscle atrophy, unequally developed or undeveloped calf muscles,
• shin curvature, for example, due to the earlier rickets.

Contra-indications for the operation are:

• Heavy form of diseases of internals
• Coagulability failure
• Diabetes
• Cardiac defects and cardiovascular diseases
• Inflammatory skin diseases
• Central nervous system involvements

The operation is performed under general or local anesthesia. A cut in the popliteal fold after healing will not be seen. An implant that the doctor selects based on the desired shin circle is inserted under the muscle fascia. This allows fixing the implant and making it invisible. As a result, you can never see or feel the implant – it is completely hidden.

A non-professional will never guess that you have resorted to medical aid to increase your shin.

Shin prosthetics: post-surgery period

After the shin endoprosthesis, a bandage is applied to the wound and for the first 24 hours the patient stays at the hospital under medical supervision. Within the first weeks you can fell discomfort need to carry special compression hosiery and limit your physical activity.

After the shin form correction, you can return to your habitual way of life in a month, though, of course, "new" legs should be protected – avoid high load and excessive use of high heels.
