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 slimming the calf/ankle area.  In cases where calf and ankle fat deposits are particularly stubborn, Vaser liposuction offers a targeted approach for suitable candidates.

About Calf and Ankle Liposuction

Liposuction to the calves and ankles is a cosmetic procedure aimed at refining the lower leg contour by targeting the fat around the calves and ankles. Vaser Liposuction uses ultrasound technology to selectively break down fat cells, which are then removed via suction.  If you find you’re concerned with unwanted fat in other areas of your body, suitable candidates can discuss their treatment options during the consultation with the doctor.

Sometimes when patients come to us, they are looking for a lift or rejuvenated appearance but not yet ready for a surgical change. This is where silhouette soft threads may be a suitable treatment option.

Silhouette soft threads provide two main benefits;

Instant lift - With a thread lift, you`ll walk out of our clinics with an instantly lifted and tighter looking appearance. That`s because a thread lift involves the placement of dissolvable threads underneath the skin. Once inserted under the skin, the threads are fixed to certain points of the face and then pulled upwards to immediately lift the skin.

Long term results - The threads contain poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which is naturally broken down by the body over time. These threads works to gradually stimulate new collagen production. This results in a plumper & more youthful complexion that lasts for approximately 18-24 months, as the PLLA naturally dissolves.
