The first step when considering a lower leg lift, or any other cosmetic surgery, is to consider whether or not the operation is truly necessary. Are there any natural steps to obtain better looking calves that you haven't taken? Are you considering the surgery for the right reasons? Do you have the financial resources and time to invest in calf augmentation? If you have doubts about the answers to those questions, or any like them, then you may wish to reconsider the surgery altogether.

Tips & Warnings
* Remember to factor lost revenue from work into the cost of your surgery.
* Don't let your surgeon "sell" you on any procedures. And never, ever schedule a procedure or sign anything without first taking time to reflect on it outside of the doctor's office.
* When recovering from your lower leg lift make sure to follow your surgeon's instructions exactly. If you don't then serious side-effects and complications can arise.
