What Causes Calf and Ankle Fat?

Excess fat can occur when the lower calf and ankle area appear to merge, lacking distinct definition. Some factors that may contribute to the retention of fat in the claves and ankles can include:

  • Genetics: Some people are naturally predisposed to accumulate fat in the lower leg area.
  • Fluid Retention: Factors such as diet, lifestyle, and certain health conditions can lead to fluid retention, which can exacerbate the appearance of fat in the calves and ankles.
  • Lifestyle Factors: Diet and activity levels impact overall body fat, which can include the area around the ankles.

Treating the calves and ankles with Vaser liposuction is a cosmetic surgery option designed to reduce the amount of fat in these lower leg areas.

How to Reduce Calf and Ankle Fat

General weight loss through a healthy diet and exercise can contribute to reducing overall body fat, but for multiple reasons weight loss is not always successful in reducing fat in the calf/ankle area.

About Calf and Ankle Liposuction

Liposuction to the calves and ankles is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed that tragets fat around the calves and ankles. Vaser Liposuction uses ultrasound technology to selectively break down fat cells, which are then removed via suction.

Calf/Ankle Vaser Liposuction FAQs

Can diet and exercise effectively reduce calf/ankle fat?
A healthy lifestyle helps with overall fitness and fat reduction but might not specifically these areas. For many, additional targeted treatments are needed for noticeable improvements in the calves and ankles.
Is Vaser liposuction safe?
While it is generally considered safe, potential complications include infection, swelling, bruising, scarring, and changes in skin sensation, such as numbness or tingling. There is also a risk of asymmetry or uneven results, fluid accumulation, and, in rare cases, blood clots or adverse reactions to anaesthesia. It’s essential to have this procedure performed by a qualified and experienced professional who can assess your overall health and medical history and discuss all potential risks with you to ensure a well-informed decision.
Who is a good candidate for calf and ankle liposuction?
Good candidates for calf/ankle liposuction are those with stubborn fat in the these lower leg areas that doesn't respond to diet and exercise. It's important for individuals to be in overall good health and have realistic expectations about the procedure's outcomes.
Can liposuction address fluid retention in the calves/ankles?
Liposuction primarily targets fat and is not usually effective at reducing the size of the calves/ankles when the increased size is caused primarily by fluid retention. In such cases, other medical treatments or lifestyle changes may be more appropriate.
