Liposuction Body Areas

Cankle Liposuction Atlanta

Fat deposits can lodge themselves anywhere in our bodies, but few are as unflattering as the lower leg, especially cankles. It forces us to wear pantsuits, which gets tiresome quite rapidly, especially on beautiful summer days. Cankle liposuction can really fix the problem of cankles if you have fat accumulation.

Unfortunately, cankles can also be places for muscles due to genetic disposition. In some cases, fluid retention can be an issue, and best be treated by a general practitioner. To put your mind at ease, we suggest you visit our office for a free complimentary consultation. This will help the doctor explain if cankle liposuction is right for you. The doctor will show you how he can sculpt your lower leg from the calf down to your ankle. This way, you can have realistic expectations.

What is Cankle liposuction?

Liposuction of the lower leg is a simple, minimally invasive procedure. Tumescent Liposuction removes the fat cells that can be so stubbornly resistant to diet and exercise. The surgeon uses a potent local anesthetic to numb the area. He inserts a powered straw called a cannula to access the fat cells. Different techniques are used depending on the area. They have names including Smartlipo, WaterLipo, and Vaser.

The cosmetic procedures of the lower leg include the calf down to the ankle area. Below the calf muscle, it is possible to remove fatty tissue often associated with thick ankles.

How does cankle liposuction work?

At Atlanta Liposuction, we want to make sure the patient is fully relaxed for the procedure. You are kept entirely comfortable with mild oral sedation and local anesthesia. It is far safer than a method using general anesthesia. The use of a fast-acting local anesthetic ensures that the procedure will be quick and painless.

The doctor starts by making small incisions.

He then inserts a small cannula (a small straw-like device) to suction away the fat deposits to slim and shape your lower legs.

The Achilles tendon is a tricky area to treat with liposuction. You want to make sure that your doctor has performed this particular procedure many times to avoid pain in the weeks following this surgery.

The procedure is done in our office. The final results and recovery time are relatively short.

Any form of liposuction is not a replacement for weight loss.

Who is a good candidate for cankle lipo?

Any leg, ankle, cankle, calf liposuction procedure requires that you:

Be in good health
Have a leg that is tapering from the knee to the ankle for best results
Be at, or close to, your ideal weight
Have good skin elasticity to help tighten the skin after surgery
Have realistic expectations of your results
Not using drugs that cause water retention

Results You Can Expect from cankle liposuction

Succesful cankle liposuction can allow you to wear dresses, shorts and hang at the beach.

If the procedure is combined with the lower leg, including the calf and potential ankles, the results will be excellent.

The Smartlipo liposuction technique uses a laser to liquefy excess fat, which allows the surgeon to remove the right amount of fat. This is called sculpting and produces terrific results.

After the surgery, you should follow a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. It will help the body build new cells and collagen in the treated area. The skin will look tight and youthful.

Avoid processed food high in sodium and drink plenty of water to replenish your body as it eliminates the cells and fat tissue

Fat transfer breast augmentation

If you have large amounts of fat extracted during your liposuction procedure, you may want to consider a fat transfer to the upper lobe of the breast. This will give you a youthful, lifted look. Ask your doctor if you are a good candidate for fat transfer. Other areas that can benefit from fat transfer are the buttocks in a BBL procedure, often referred to as the Brazilian Butt Lift.

Can I Get Financing for Cankle Liposuction?

Lower leg liposuction is often something we contemplate ahead of the next summer season. That’s why we don’t want you to have to wait to get the liposuction you want to finally have slimmer, sexier, shapelier legs.

We have partnered with reputable finance companies so that if you’re worried about the challenge of affording the procedure, you’re able to get the financing you need to make it easy.

Preparing for Cankle Liposuction

To get ready for your cankle liposuction, you’ll need to follow a few simple steps:

Get your medications filled and bring them with you on the day of your procedure
Have a driver who can get you to and from your procedure
Plan for someone to spend the first night or two after surgery with you
Follow all instructions given to you for eating and drinking before your procedure
Stop taking any medications or vitamins as directed to avoid bleeding risks
Wear loose clothing to your procedure to make changing more manageable and more comfortable

Recovery Following Cankle Liposuction

Patients are generally able to return to their normal activities the day after their procedure. However, we recommend that you take up to three days off from work or school (including the day of surgery) to give your body time to heal.

It is vital to keep the incisions clean during the first week as the excess liquid may seep out. The incisions will close on their own and leave nothing more than a freckle mark.

Patients should wear their compression garments until advised by their doctor.

Do you suffer from Lipedema?

Lipedema is a disorder characterized by symmetric enlargement of the legs due to fat deposits beneath the skin. It is a common condition, occurring almost exclusively in women (affecting up to 11% of women). The cause of lipedema is unknown; however, there is evidence of hormonal and hereditary influences.

You can usually tell if the upper leg’s fat is painful to the touch, yet the ankles and feet are not affected.

If you suspect you may be suffering from lipedema, you should consult a GP.
