In general, augmentation of soft tissue has been a problem for plastic surgeons because of the body's protective mechanisms against foreign material, but silicone rubber implants are the author's choice of the materials currently available. The aesthetic considerations of the shape of the calf and techniques and complications are discussed. This article is generously illustrated with case examples.
