A member asked:

Is calf augmentation safe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: All surgical procedures have certain risks. The complication rate of calf augmentation performed by plastic surgeons who are certified by the american board of plastic surgery (www.Abplsurg.Org) is low and satisfaction rate is high. Running should not be influenced by the presence of implants after you are well healed.
