Since Victorian times, a shapely ankle has been a mark of beauty. And this summer’s gladiator sandal and cropped leggings trend is focusing a lot of attention on the ankle. But unfortunately for those who are predisposed to have thick ankles (or “cankles”), this season’s hot trend is difficult to pull off.
Cankles can be caused by obesity, lack of exercise, fluid retention, venous disease, or tendonitis; but for some people there’s no medical reason. You may simply have a genetic predisposition.
If you are a healthy body weight, in good physical condition, and have eliminated any potential medical condition listed above, the next step could be to use liposuction to shape your lower legs.
Both Smartlipo and VASER Liposelection are effective ways to rid the body of cankles. With Smartlipo and VASER, I use laser light technology to remove fat deposits and shape and sculpt your entire lower leg. Done in an outpatient setting, this twilight surgery (done under local, not general anesthesia) can be completed in 2 – 3 hours. You will need to stay off your feet for at least 24 hours, but you should be able to be back at work by day two or three. Results are immediate, with continual improvement over six months.
