Body Areas - Knees

Girls and women with thick calves and ankles are often helped by liposculpture to these areas. The goal is to reduce the bulk of the calf and make the lower leg look slender. The ideal lower leg should taper all the way down to the ankle, with good definition around the Achilles tendon rising up from the ankle. Liposculpture can achieve all of these.

Small amounts of fat removal can change the shape of the ankle dramatically.

Sometimes there are hereditary collections of fat in these areas and removal of these can reduce the circumference of the ankle by half !

Examples

A more conventional situation would be the following where there has been a marked reduction in the size of the calves and ankles with about 250 ml removed from each side.

Common questions about calves and ankles liposculpture

Who is a candidate for liposculpture to ankles?

Any woman who has fullness to the lower part of the lower leg may benefit. If your leg look full at the bottom or there is poor definition of the achilles tendon, then liposculpture may well help..

Is it permanent ?

Yes, improvement in the shape and reduction in the volume of the ankle and calf area is permanent..

Are there any scars ?

There are usually 2-3 small 2mm wide access holes at the base of the ankle. These are not sutured after the procedure and heal quickly afterwards.

What other areas are treated at the same time ?

Many women also have a problem with fullness over the knee and sometimes also the thigh. These can be treated at the same time or separately.

What support garments are required ?

How long does the procedure take ?

Most procedures for the calves and ankles take from between 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
