Calf Liposuction Could Help You Fit Into Those Fall and Winter Boots

           

            The fall and winter season means it’s boot shopping time. But, as Good Housekeeping reported recently, for some women, boot shopping is a real pain in the calves. It’s a term frequently referred to as “boot bulge,” a situation where the calves are too big to fit into snug, knee-high boots.

            According to ABC News, more women are undergoing calf liposuction so that they can fit into trendy knee-high boots. Cosmetic surgeons report that unhappiness with the shape and size of one’s legs is actually a fairly common phenomenon.

            Many women suffer from “kankles,” or “Cankles” and in some cases, exercise alone isn’t enough to get rid of them. Women’s Health noted that while weight gain can cause “cankles,” genetics can also play a role. Jump rope and specifically targeted exercise, can, in some cases, help. Yet, for otherwise physically fit women who suffer from the condition, regular diet and exercise won’t be enough to eliminate the fat in the calf area. Not everyone gets lucky when it comes to genetics. In this case, calf liposuction can eliminate the fat and reduce the size of the calves.

            During the calf liposuction procedure, your doctor will carefully remove small amounts of fat from the calf area, reshaping your legs and calves. The result is attractive, shapely legs. Under the care of a skilled calf liposuction doctor, patients can resume normal life activities soon after the procedure is performed. It is important to find a calf augmentation doctor who has been performing the procedure on many patients, as your surgeon’s skill will have an impact on how your legs look and how long it will take you to recover. Calf liposuction involves more precise liposuction technique.

            Patients should make sure their “cankles” are cosmetic. Other, more dangerous conditions can also cause “cankles.” Fluid buildup, swelling, redness, coolness, or warmth in the area may be a sign of a more serious condition. Individuals who experience sudden changes in the appearance of their ankles should speak to a doctor.

            Not every person with “cankles” or “boot bulge” is a candidate for calf implant surgery. For instance, if you are athletic and your surgeon finds that your calves are all muscle, you won’t be able to undergo the procedure. Patients who are ideal candidates are healthy, have fat in the calf area that can be removed using calf liposuction, and have realistic goals about what the procedure can accomplish.

            For women who want to fit their fashion-forward fall and winter boots, or for women tired of dieting and exercising to get rid of “cankles,” calf liposuction offers a safe, effective, and permanent solution. Of course, before deciding to undergo any procedure, it is important to speak to a cosmetic surgeon like Dr. Leonard Grossman and decide if the procedure is right for you. Your surgeon will review your medical history, diet, and health, and offer suggestions on how to proceed.
