Narrow calves that peek out of your shorts in the summer can be quite deceptive. One reason why men choose silicone calf implants. They are intended to give the lower legs the desired contour.

Another cut into the muscle fascia, the fibrous covering of the muscle, creates a kind of pocket into which the implant is placed above or below the muscle. Depending on the patient's wishes, two calf implants can be inserted per leg.
