Calf Implants
Achieve a More Proportional and Athletic Lower Leg
For many individuals, achieving well-defined, muscular calves can be challenging through exercise alone due to genetics. Naturally thin or asymmetrical calves can make the legs appear disproportionate, affecting the overall balance of your physique. Calf augmentation with implants is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the lower legs, creating a more athletic, contoured, and symmetrical appearance.
What is Calf Augmentation?
Calf augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that uses soft, solid silicone implants to increase the projection and fullness of the calf region. These implants are specifically designed to mimic the natural shape of the gastrocnemius muscle. Your expert surgeon in Antalya will create a small, discreet incision in the natural crease behind the knee and place the implant in a secure pocket over the muscle. The result is a permanent enhancement that looks and feels natural.
