Everything You Need to Know About Aesthetic Shin Correction
The appearance of the lower legs plays a key role in the overall appearance of the lower extremities. Changes in the appearance of the lower legs can occur due to congenital deformities or caused by disease or injury.
If there is a decrease in the volume of muscle mass in the lower legs caused by some of the above reasons, they are no longer in harmony with body proportions, in which case patients decide to shape the lower legs.
Depending on the patient’s goals and wishes, the shaping of the lower legs can be performed by various methods, including liposuction, surgical procedures such as lipotransfers or implants.
Each method of shaping the lower legs has its advantages and limitations, and the choice depends on the individual needs and wishes of the patient.
Lower leg shaping is performed to improve the patient’s health, for example, to correct deformities, improve functionality or reduce pain.
It can also be used as an aesthetic correction of the appearance of the lower legs to achieve proportional and shaped lower extremities, which can improve self-confidence and satisfaction with one’s appearance.
Lower leg shaping is most often performed through silicone implants designed for this purpose or by transferring the patient’s own fat
One of the key advantages of shaping the lower legs is to achieve the desired aesthetic appearance, i.e. balanced proportions in relation to the rest of the body.
In addition, shaping the lower legs can improve the functionality of the legs, especially in people with deformities or walking problems.
This type of correction can also facilitate daily activities and reduce the need to wear special orthopedic aids.
Shin shaping is one of the aesthetic body shaping procedures that has a very low rate of complications and has been successfully performed for many years.

It is important to consult a professional cosmetic surgeon before the procedure in order to choose the best method of shaping the lower legs with which you will achieve the desired results.
Preparing for calf shaping is a crucial step that ensures successful treatment and optimal results. Before the procedure itself, it is necessary to consult with our professional surgeon.
At the consultation, you will discuss your goals, medical history, expectations, and treatment options. The surgeon will assess your needs and recommend the best approach to achieve the desired results.
The surgeon will also clarify what can be achieved and what the limits of the procedure are. It is important to be open and honest about your goals and accept possible limitations.
By reviewing your medical history, the surgeon will determine if you are a candidate for a lower leg shaping procedure. Be sure to inform your surgeon about any previous surgeries, medical conditions, or allergies you have.
Smoking can negatively affect the healing process, so patients are usually advised to quit smoking a few weeks before treatment and during the recovery period.
Before the calf shaping procedure, the surgeon may recommend that you stop taking certain medications, such as aspirin or similar medications that may increase the risk of bleeding.
If you decide to shape your lower legs by installing implants, the necessary measurements will be taken during the consultation to select the appropriate size and shape of the implant.
For procedures performed under general anesthesia, it is necessary to perform standard laboratory tests that the surgeon will refer you to.

Implant placement in the lower legs has become an increasingly popular method for achieving the desired shape and proportions of the lower extremities.
This method may be suitable for people who have a lack of muscle mass or volume in the lower extremities, resulting in a disproportionate and uneven appearance of the legs.
Shaping the lower legs by installing implants allows patients to achieve lasting aesthetic changes and improve self-confidence.
By installing the implant, a defined contour of the lower legs is achieved, with a fuller appearance of the muscles. Implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Before the procedure, the surgeon will measure your legs to choose the best shape and size of the implant.
The procedure of placing implants in the lower legs is usually performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, the patient lies on his stomach so that the lower leg area is easily accessible.
The surgeon accesses the lower leg through smaller incisions on the inside of the leg in the knee crease.
The implants are then carefully placed in the lower leg to achieve the desired shape and volume. Once the implants are properly positioned, the surgeon will close the incisions by applying fine sutures and place a compression bandage.
Given that the incisions are made on the inside of the knee fold, they are almost not noticeable after healing. Recovery after a lower leg implant usually requires several weeks.
In the first 2 weeks after the procedure, pressure on the implants should be avoided, and heavier physical activity and sports should be avoided for up to 2 months.
Lipotransfer, also known as lipofilling, is one of the most popular methods for shaping the lower legs due to its naturalness and lasting results.
This procedure can be performed to improve the shape and size of the calf muscles, thus providing an aesthetically pleasing appearance to the legs. Shaping the lower legs by lipotransfer is a minimally invasive alternative to shaping the lower leg with implants.
Shaping the lower legs with this method is suitable for people who want to increase the volume or shape of the lower legs, solve irregularities such as uneven or asymmetrical shape of the lower legs, or correct aesthetic defects.
It can also be used to improve the overall tone of the skin. The patient’s own adipose tissue is used to shape the lower legs by lipotransfer.
The procedure of shaping the lower legs by lipotransfer consists of several steps. First, liposuction is performed to collect fat tissue from areas such as the abdomen, hips or thighs.
In our clinic, we offer the possibility of performing BodyJet liposuction , which is significantly gentler than classic methods and allows for faster recovery.
The adipose tissue obtained by liposuction is then processed to isolate viable fat cells. After that, these viable fat cells are injected into the lower legs to achieve the desired shape and volume.
One of the main advantages of shaping the lower legs with this method is the naturalness of the results. Since the patient’s own adipose tissue is used, a natural look and feel in the lower legs is achieved.
Additionally, lipotransfer can improve skin tone and texture, making the lower legs smooth and tight.
Recovery after lipotransfer calf shaping also involves wearing a compression bandage to speed healing.
During the first 2 weeks, compression on the transplanted tissue should be avoided. The results are noticeable immediately after the procedure, and the final results are visible in 6 to 8 weeks.
The main goal of LF Polyclinic is to improve the quality of life and health of our clients by providing them with top-notch healthcare services.
