Ankle liposuction will provide natural looking results that you are looking for.

It is important to keep in mind that if you are an overweight individual, then weight loss may also fix your ankles. If you are slender and have fat ankles, then you may need have a genetic issue that can only be corrected by ankle liposuction.

Also, in some cases, large ankles or calves may be caused by a large muscle--in which case the issue cannot be corrected.
