You may consider fat grafting to the hips and fat grafting to the calves or calf implants.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
Most of have a favorite and thus also an un-favorite body part, which many times due to genetics. The calves are especially an area that have genetic limitations such that no matter how hard some people try to grow them with exercise,they just do not respond.
