Calf augmentation is usually performed as an outpatient procedure that takes about an hour. During the procedure, an incision is made in a natural crease behind the knee. The surgeon then creates a pocket large enough to accommodate the calf implants, which can be placed on the upper inner or outer portion of the leg. In this area, made up of muscle and fat, scar tissue will form that will help keep the implant in place. The incision is closed with stitches, and a bandage is applied to reduce swelling and discomfort. Calf implants can be used to add mass and definition to the muscles of the lower leg, which will dramatically improve the appearance of the calves. These implants achieve proportionality and improve the appearance, not only of the legs but of the entire body.
