How Can My Smaller Calf Be Made More Equal To The Other One?

Q: Dr. Eppley, One leg is bigger than the other in width, can i get them equal??

A: You can get closer but never equally equal with a calf implant and fat grafting. That appears to be a classic clubfoot calf which means the muscle is both smaller and the soft tissues very tight. The best result is going to come from a two stage approach, first stage fat injection grafting to stretch and soften the tight soft tissues and a second stage calf implant to augment the deficient muscle.
