Ever Heard About Liposuction Ankles?
Cosmetic surgery has been available for many years but liposuction ankles is a relatively new procedure to the market whcih many people have never heard of. Whilst the techniques have been available for some time there have recently been considerable advances in the procedure which has reduced the potential post operative problems. However, as with any surgery there are various points to consider.
For example, it is essential to find an experienced and reputable surgeon. Often the best way to approach this is by word of mouth. Once you have selected a surgeon you need to understand how liposuction on ankles works.
The surgeon will probably carry out a ‘pinch’ test where they will literally pinch your calf and your ankle to assess the amount of fatty deposits. The surgeon should also take a complete medical history as this procedure is not suitable for anyone who has suffered from deep vein thrombosis, has poor circulation or is a diabetic.
The surgery itself involves three small incisions. One is on the front of the ankle and two further cuts on both sides of the Achilles tendon. However, you should be reassured that these incisions are very small as the area in which the liposuction takes place is limited to such a small area.
Most people will be unaware of the actual operation as normally a general anaesthetic is given, or at least level IV sedation. Once you wake up from the liposuction your legs will be bandaged and these must stay in place for about a week. Initially it important to elevate the legs for approximately 12 hours, although you are able to walk for essential reasons, but standing in one position should be avoided. When the bandages are removed you will continue to wear ankle supports for a further couple of weeks, and although initially there will be bruising, most people are immediately pleased with the results.
