Calf Augmentation Procedure
This procedure offers a solution for those people that have underdeveloped calves or wish to augment them. The idea is to shape and size the calves by surgical insertion of implants.

There is an alternative to implants. Calf augmentation can also be performed by liposuction of fat from other body parts and injecting it into the calves.
