Any person who finds that no amount of exercise brings muscle development would represent an ideal candidate for calf augmentation. The more common reasons for undergoing calf augmentation include:  

• Enhancing appearance and boosting self-confidence.
• Becoming less self-conscious about appearance.
• Being satisfied with the appearance of their lower legs.
• Correcting congenital and physical defects.
• Achieving a more balanced look.
  

However, the prospective patient must also be aware that cosmetic surgery is designed for improvement, not perfection. Patients should have realistic goals and expectations for calf augmentation. Those patients deciding to undergo calf augmentation must do so for their own and not anyone else’s reasons. Be sure to discuss your reasons for wanting to undergo this operation with the doctor during your consultation visit. This will also help determine your candidacy for the procedure.
