Macrolane Vs Calf Implants
Which is better between Macrolane or calf implants? I am aware that Macrolane is safer, but it does not last and I'm thinking if it shifts. What would results of the two look like?
Calf enhancement
You may wish to consider autologous fat transfers as an alternative to calf implants. Fat grafting can be a permanent solution to areas where patients want more contouring and can avoid problems with implants. Steven Williams, MD Tri Valley Plastic Surgery
Facial fat transfer (autologous fat grafting) uses the patient’s own fat, harvested via liposuction, to restore volume lost through aging. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, temples, under-eyes, nasolabial folds, and jawline. Approximately 60–80% of transferred fat typically survives long-term.
Patient safety protocols, including operating in accredited facilities with board-certified anesthesiologists, significantly reduce surgical risk.
