Getting rid of fat is difficult no matter where your trouble spots are located, but one of the hardest areas to lose fat is the ankle. In many cases, fat accumulates due to diet and activity levels, but that’s not the case with the ankles and calves. These areas accumulate fat almost entirely based on genetics. That makes them almost impossible to treat through diet and exercise alone. Fortunately, thick calves and “cankles” can be effectively treated with ankle liposuction at EnLighten Skin & Body Medspa.

Ankle Liposuction Restores Ankle and Calf Balance and Beauty

Most of the patients who request ankle liposuction at EnLighten Skin & Body Medspa are unhappy with the look of their calves and ankles. They may feel that their ankles are too thick, merging with their calves to form a cankle, lack shape and definition, or detract from their weight loss or exercise success due to their undefined appearance.

Ankle liposuction can be used to slim and contour the ankles and calves, creating a more streamlined, feminine appearance. In fact, most treatments involve ankle liposuction and liposuction of the lower calf to ensure a beautiful, streamlined look that maintains proper proportions.

Ankle liposuction is less about weight loss and more about uncovering a contoured, slimmer appearance of the ankles and calves.

What To Expect From Ankle Liposuction

Calf and ankle liposuction is a minimally-invasive, outpatient procedure in which a thin, hollow tube called a cannula is used to break up fat deposits and remove them from the body. The procedure is highly precise and extremely targeted, making it very effective at creating definition in the calves and ankles. This targeted approach also makes recovery easier; patients are able (and encouraged!) to walk as soon as the day after their procedure. Discomfort is typically so minor that it can be treated with over-the-counter pain relievers.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to ankle liposuction at our clinic. Each patient undergoes a thorough health evaluation and physical examination of the treatment areas to ascertain exactly where slimming and contouring is needed to provide the best results and most attractive appearance.

After the stomach, the thighs are the most common candidates for liposuction. Since they are naturally prone to accumulating fat, it can be very difficult to lose fat from the thighs through diet and exercise alone. If you’ve got a “pear-shaped” body, you know exactly what we mean! Even when exercise does make a difference in the thighs, individuals can be left with bulging areas or pockets of fat that just won’t respond.

Not only does this excess on the thighs affect our appearance, it can affect our comfort and self-esteem. “Saddlebags” on the outside of the thighs may cause your clothing to fit improperly or even cut into you, while excess fat on the inside of the thighs can cause the thighs to rub together or against clothing, causing discomfort, rashes, and other skin irritations.

Thigh liposuction can help you get around all of these problems by removing fat from the thighs. Thigh liposuction is versatile; it can be used to remove large sections of fat or very small, targeted pockets – it all depends on your desired outcome.

What To Expect From Thigh Liposuction

Liposuction of the thighs is no longer the major surgery it used to be. Today, it’s an outpatient procedure that can be used to both remove fat and contour or shape the thighs. Contouring is a major part of the thigh liposuction procedures that we perform at EnLighten Skin & Body Medspa. Without contouring, thighs may be slimmer but they would not look as attractive or be as shapely.

Candidates who experience the best results are healthy, within 20 pounds of their ideal weight, have good skin elasticity, and distinct pockets of fat on the thighs. We generally recommend that our clients come to us AFTER they’ve achieved their weight loss goals as opposed to before so that we can better see where the problem areas remain and help them fine-tune their appearance. Thigh liposuction is often combined with knee liposuction to give the legs a more shapely appearance.

Although it is an outpatient procedure, thigh liposuction will result in soreness and swelling. You may need to wear compression garments for a few days to help reduce swelling, but once the swelling goes down, your skin will shrink and smooth on its own. In general, gentle movement is perfectly acceptable; it actually helps improve circulation and blood flow, which promotes healing. However, we always send patients home with detailed post-care treatment instructions specific to their treatment and recovery needs.

You can still gain weight in the thighs after liposuction, so a good diet and exercise are important for your long-term satisfaction. In many cases, thigh liposuction is just the motivation a person needs reach their exercise or weight loss goals!

The abdomen and stomach are the most common areas treated with liposuction. This area of the body tends to store superficial (subcutaneous) fat, which is located just below the skin, but above the abdominal muscles. Liposuction of the stomach and abdomen usually produces impressive results making the stomach and abs noticeably thinner and flatter.

Keep in mind that liposuction is not the same thing as a tummy tuck. A tummy tuck or abdominoplasty is a multi-step surgical procedure that removes both fat and skin to tighten abdominal muscles. In many cases, liposuction can produce equally as effective cosmetic results as a tummy tuck in a less invasive manner.

Candidates For Abdominal Liposuction

Liposuction works best on people who have localized fat deposits in their stomach and abdomen. These areas of fat are typically resistant to diet and exercise and are often the result of genetics. The best candidates are:

• Physically fit
• Within 20 pounds of their ideal weight
• Have firm, elastic skin, and
• Maintain weight stability.

Here’s why we look for these characteristics in liposuction candidates. First of all, the skin must shrink to adjust to the slimmer you. That’s why we look at skin elasticity prior to the procedure. Secondly, liposuction results are permanent, but only if your weight remains stable. Losing or gaining a significant amount of weight will affect results.

What To Expect From Liposuction

Liposuction is a great way to achieve a slimmer look, but it won’t change the shape of your body. It’s not a substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise, but it can help you feel better about your body and get rid of a stubborn muffin top or spare tire.

During the procedure, your physician will use a local anesthetic to make small incisions near the areas to be targeted. Then a thin, hollow tube called a cannula is used to loosen and remove fat deposits. After the procedure, you may feel minor soreness and discomfort for up to 72 hours. This pain is similar to the pain of sore muscles after a workout and can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. There is typically no restriction on your activities after the first 24 hours.

We always develop a post-care treatment plan for every liposuction patient. The post-care plan will help ensure proper healing and ease recovery.
