I saw a surgeon perform Liposuction on a patient's calves. The results look fabulous! I am desperate to get someone to consult with me about my calves.

I would consult with Dr. Kamal Sawan in Oklahoma City. He is the chairman of plastic surgery at one of the local universities, and he was expertly trained at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. He has a great bedside manner and he is also very talented. Good luck!

You have to understand the risk/benefit ratio

Calf Liposuction

Patient selection is key to a successful calf liposuction. Consult the ASPS website for a list of qualified surgeons who may be able to do the procedure. Consult with 2 - 3 who perform the procedure to find the one who best meets your needs.

Finding the Right Surgeon?
