Well I had the Calf Implant Surgery
I have already posted in this forum about the details of calf augmentation a couple of months back. I mentioned I was in the process to have it done again.
Well I did... I am actaully recovering right now & I'm doped up on hydrocodone & xanax, so forgive the typos lol..
The procedure went well.. I only got them in my my right leg because it was the one that had neurological defects. The doctor ordered special implants that were softer in texture to not force too much presure on my skin that already had previous scarring from my accident, emergency surgery & staph infection.
I will say this. When I recover from this surgery, I will go on record to recommend that my dr could perform this procedure on anyone that wanted to have the process. He had a tough job operating on me because there was allot of scar tissue he had o work with. In case any of you dont know that scar tissue only has 75% to 80% of tensile strength of normal skin..
Anyway, Ill come back at the end of the week & give another update. Saturday September 12th is my Birthday, so hopefully this will make it a good one..

So far so good. still have some pain resulting from the extreme stretching of my skin which was scarred to begin with.
The implants are pretty big, so the skin is stretched to the limit, which resulted in some large weeping blisters that burn like a motherfucker when im on my feet.
The blisters are getting smaller everyday so I should be good to go by the end of next week. I will put up pics soon.
Just didnt want to put any up with the fresh traumatized surgical sites and wounds...

yes Aaron I got plenty of before pics. The difference is amazing in my case... go to my page and look though some of my contest pics and you will see how it looked before..
I am going to put up the before pics that i sent to the surgeon before he did the procedure.

thx... just having to be real careful now. The 1st few weeks after the procedure is the make or break period when the skin is adjusting to the implants. I think this is where many people have problems.
They impede their recovery because they 'feel' good, even though their body hasn't healed.
If you think about it, if one gets a procedure done putting foreign bodies in their legs the body, has to adjust.
It cant adjust by walking around & doing too much. You have to 'let the glue dry 1st' if that makes any sense....

Happy Belated Birthday, Ali!
You guys with the huge sponsor ads in your signatures make reading the forums annoying.
