Individuals who are in good general health and who want to improve or enhance the shape of their legs are candidates for calf implant surgery. The procedure is requested by men and women who have underdeveloped calf muscles and wish to have a more attractive contour to their legs; by male and female body builders who wish to have more definition to their legs; and by individuals who have suffered a disease or injury that has caused the muscles in the legs to wither.
If you are a serious candidate for this type of plastic surgery, make sure the doctor you choose is board certified. Discuss the procedure, risks, and benefits. Use this opportunity to determine whether or not you are comfortable with the surgeon and whether or not you want him or her to do your surgery.
In most cases the procedure is considered elective or "cosmetic" and means you'll probably have to pay for it yourself. Costs vary in different regions of the country, but average about $5,500.
