Calf augmentation, as in the buttocks, has 3 possibilities to be done through:

• Fat Liposuction
• Hyaluronic Acid – Hyacorp
• Prostheses

The shape and volume of the calf is something that concerns both men and women. In the first case, the reason is usually the lack of balance between the volume of these muscles with the muscles of the rest of the body, especially with the upper part.

In women, the silhouette of the thigh and leg is very important for harmony, especially when wearing a bathing suit or a dress. In either case, 50 to 100 ml Hyaluronic Acid is placed to convex the inside of the leg, closer to the knees. It is a simple, quick procedure performed with local anesthesia. The patient returns to work the following day, or if after the weekend (whatever the most comfortable situation).

Fat is usually placed on the upper leg to disguise excessive bending of the legs – the most common reason for performing this procedure.

We do not perform the augmentation technique through the use of prostheses, due to the complications that may result from its use, but the most appropriate and due to the complexity of the procedure is the evaluation in consultation with the plastic surgeon.
