Myoplasty
Calf implants or augmentation is a surgical procedure to improve the productivity of the legs and give them better form and shape. The implants are medically (FDA) approved silicone bodies placed into calf muscle that enhance volume. There are various reasons for lousy conditioning of calf muscles involving any accidental history, muscular disease, or genetics. Thus, through this procedure, the calf muscles regain their expected shape and increase the performance of the legs.
