Calf
augmentation
Calf augmentation is a surgical
procedure performed to enlarge one or both calves for various
reasons:
- To enhance the body
contour of a man or a woman, who, for personal reasons
believes their calves to be too small.
- To correct a loss in calf
volume after trauma or other difficulty.
- To balance calf size, when
there exists a significant difference between the size of
the calves.
- To restore shape after
volume loss to the calf for various conditions.
Calf augmentation is accomplished
by inserting a semisolid silicone implant below the investing
fascia and above the functioning muscles. An incision is placed
behind the knee, which will virtually disappear in months. The
shape and size of the calves prior to surgery will influence
both the recommended treatment as well as the final result.
*We offer pre-molded as well as
custom implants.
