A Breast Implant In The Calf:

There are some things that are believed to be simply impossible, like the mythological floods, the ban on firearms for U.S. civilians and the insertion of breast implants in the calf.

Come again you say, breast implants in the leg? Now that’s something that sounds completely implausible. But Lane Jensen has gone ahead and done just that. He got silicone breast implants inserted into a tattoo of a buxom girl on his calf to make the effect look more ‘3D’.

But Lane is not the only one to have something like this done on his body. There is an entire culture out there that swears by body modifications. Tattoo artists and body modification artists are the main propagators of this bizarre art from.

From devilish horns in the temple to star shaped sternum Teflon implants and spikes in the scalp, they do it all and on practically any part of the anatomy. Most body modification artists recommend these physical alterations only for those who are aware of the risks involved.

And the risks involved are rather considerable and somewhat similar to regular plastic surgery implants. Needless to say, Jensen’s silicone calf implants were rejected by his body and had to be taken out after lymphatic ooze came pouring out of the incision.

While as an art form body modifications are to be respected, it is necessary that people understand the risks involving modifications like Teflon or silicone implants. It can get rather ugly when they turn back on you.

Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for more advice and help on breast implants made of silicone gel or saline solution.
