Calf Augmentation, also known as calf implant surgery, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and definition of the calves. Many people struggle with underdeveloped or asymmetrical calf muscles due to genetics, injury, or lack of muscle response to exercise.
At Academy Health in Turkey, we offer advanced calf augmentation procedures that provide balanced, natural-looking contours for a more proportional lower body.
My whole journey with academy clinic was very professional, everyone was very friendly and helpful, from the first consultation and later on site in turkey. The ladies have looked after me very well and I want to express my gratitude. Dr. Mete has done a fabulous job, and I can’t wait to see my end results in a few months.

I recently underwent a breast lift with implants and 360/back liposuction at academy clinic, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience.
First and foremost, I want to express my gratitude to Nurses Irem and Aleyna. Their friendliness and willingness to help made me feel at ease throughout my stay. Their professional care truly stood out.
A huge thank you to Dr. Mete for his incredible work. His expertise in performing my procedures was evident, and I am thrilled with the results after 3 days. His attention to detail and commitment to patient satisfaction are commendable.
I also want to thank Nesrine for her excellent organizational skills. She took care of everything, from coordinating my stay to managing transfers between the hotel and hospital, ensuring that everything ran smoothly.
The team at academy clinic is remarkably organized and dedicated to their patients’ well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend academy clinic to anyone considering these procedures.

Amazing results for my lipo. I initially had my doubts as to how everything was going to turn out, but my goodness, has Dr Mete come through! I’m so pleased with my results and the body line I hadn’t seen in ages! Everything was taken care of from the arrival right down to the departure. The first day of my surgery, the nurses were available throughout the day and night. I had a hard time the first few days even getting up and about, but support was on hand and they came to check up on me several times. The hospital was very clean and the room was definitely of a high standard for a hospital room ( defo VIP like room). Only thing I would say is get ready to use a google translator on your phone as English is obviously second language understandably and go with your eyes open as the first few days felt like death to me (so take someone to help you unlike me as i went alone)but the results are well worth it! Thanks to the staff and Dr Metexx.

Just had Gastric Sleeve Surgery and a Gastric Band removal surgery completed on 24/05/24 by Prof. Dr. Cengis Eris at the hospital in Istanbul. From start to finish the entire Badge team have been nothing short of amazing. From pick up at the airport to your return back home they have been in contact and making sure I fully understand what is happening and what to expect. My Co-ordinator Nesrine has been amazing. I traveled by myself and was worried this was going to be too much but the team at Badge really take fantastic care of you. If you are debating if this is right thing to do or if this is the right place to have your surgery I can’t stress enough just how amazing and resasurred the team has made me feel. Although I’m only really a couple of days out and will see the results over the next coming weeks and months. I am relatively pain free and able to manage my normal activities which surprised me but shows just great they are at what they do.

I am very pleased with the services of the clinic, the team of doctors and nurses are very helpful in every situation. The procedure was successful, tummy tuck with 360 liposuction, I am very pleased. A wonderful hotel designed for rest, drivers always on time. A clinic worth recommending.
Celina A.
Very welcoming people. I was stressed that the doctor had to take my canine out and is visible so they came with the option with a temporary tooth until next appointment for the implant. Also the bridge procedure was done with precision. Honestly they know what they are doing and you feel in good hands. Highly recommend Academy Health.
Paulina U.
I highly recommend academy clinic. From the beginning to the end they were really supportive! All nurses and doctors above and beyond professional. Me and my partner were treated like in 5 star hotel. I got much more than I expected. So happy to be here for my breast uplifting and enlargement. I wish to give them 10 out of 5 if I could. Really nice experience and I felt really safe. I just want to say thank you to all personel from a academy clinic!!

I recently underwent a hair transplant at academy clinic in Istanbul, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure follow-up, the team at academy clinic demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care.
The clinic itself is state-of-the-art, with modern facilities that made me feel comfortable and reassured throughout the process. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all my questions were answered and that I felt fully prepared before the procedure. The medical team, led by highly skilled surgeons, was extremely meticulous, ensuring everything was done with precision and care.
The procedure itself was smooth and relatively painless, and I was impressed with the thoroughness and attention to detail. The team ensured I understood the post-op care instructions, and the follow-up support has been fantastic. I am excited about the final outcome!
Traveling to Istanbul for this procedure was definitely worth it also VIP transportation between airport, 5 start to clinic and academy clinic provides an excellent combination of affordability and world-class expertise. For anyone considering a hair transplant, I would highly recommend academy clinic. They exceeded my expectations in every way.
Florentina V.
I was a patient at academy clinic. I was impressed by how well they organized to pick me up from the airport, then take me to the hotel and get me back on time. They were very well organized, the staff is pleasant, but the organizers were in touch with me to be sure that everything is done professionally and on time; I also have friends who were patients at this clinic and were satisfied. Thank you academy clinic so we will definitely see you soon.

Calf augmentation uses specially designed implants or, in some cases, fat transfer to increase calf volume and create better symmetry. It is ideal for individuals who:
Have naturally thin or flat calves
Want improved leg definition and balance
Experience asymmetry caused by genetics or medical conditions
Seek more proportionate body aesthetics
How is Calf Augmentation Performed?
The procedure involves several key steps:
Consultation & Planning: Evaluation of leg shape, implant size, and patient goals.
Anesthesia: General anesthesia or sedation is typically used.
Incision & Implant Placement: Small incisions are made behind the knees, and silicone implants are inserted into pockets over the calf muscles.
Shaping & Symmetry: Implants are positioned to achieve natural proportions and balance.
Closing & Recovery: Incisions are closed, and compression dressings are applied to support healing.
The surgery usually takes 1–2 hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure.
Advantages of Calf Augmentation
Enhances calf size, shape, and muscular definition
Corrects calf asymmetry
Provides natural and proportional lower leg aesthetics
Long-lasting results with durable implants
Improves self-confidence and appearance in clothing or swimwear
Recovery After Calf Augmentation
Recovery is straightforward with proper post-surgical care:
Mild swelling and discomfort for 1–2 weeks
Walking is encouraged soon after surgery to promote circulation
Avoiding strenuous exercise for 4–6 weeks
Final results visible in 2–3 months after swelling subsides
Implants provide long-term enhancement with minimal maintenance
Risks and Considerations
Calf augmentation is safe when performed by experienced surgeons, but possible risks include:
Swelling and bruising
Temporary discomfort or tightness in calves
Infection (rare with proper care)
Implant displacement (rare, minimized with precise technique)
Scarring behind the knees (fades with time)
Academy Health ensures natural-looking results with advanced surgical methods and personalized treatment plans.
