A member asked:
Can you tell me about calf augmentation surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Two choices: Calf augmentation can be by fat grafting or use of implants. Implants require incisions and scars for the placement, and occasionally are noticeable, can shift, and have problems. Implants offer size increases that may be greater than grafts, but grafting uses natural tissue and is not foreign to your body. Done outpatient surgery, IV sedation usually. Pick your surgeon carefully for experience.
