Can I Get 3 Implants Per Leg For Calf Augmentation?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am interested in getting calf implanst to make  my lower legs bigger. Do I need three implants per leg to do so?

A:I am not aware of a 3 implant approach to calf augmentation. There is only one muscle (gastrocnemius) with two heads in the lower legs that can be augmented with implants. (2  per calf muscle) Thus a 4 implant bilateral calf augmentation would be the standard approach which would produce a result similar to the attached imaging.
