A calf augmentation is performed to reduce the unsightly effect produced by the lack of development of the calf muscles and the soleus. Also, it can be done in order to correct the cases derived from other types of diseases, injuries or genetics.
What should you consider before doing a calf augmentation?
You will be required to stop smoking six weeks before the surgery. It will be recommended to not take any aspirins, anti-inflammatories or even herbal supplements few days before the surgery. And the last but not the least, no sports for the lowest muscles will be allowed for 20 days.

- Reconstruction with implants: Through a small incision in the back of the knee, an implant, made of silicone gel, is going to be inserted, to give to the calves a nice volume.
