Can you have lipo on your thighs and calves at the same time. Meaning as one procedure?

Question

Ryan Neinstein, MD, FRCSC · Answer

Thanks for the question, yes you can have both done at the same time. That being said its important to a) go to someone who does this a lot and b) know what you are getting yourself in too. Lower extremity lipo especially lipo below the knee is a big shock to the system and there can be several weeks of bruising and soreness. This is all normal and can be managed appropriately by an office dedicated to lipo!

Brownsuga35.  I commonly perform liposuction on more than one area in those patients requesting it. Liposuction of the thighs and calves is certainly an option,  however you must understand that calf liposuction sometimes takes longer for swelling to resolve because of the location. Come in to see me for an appointment at any time or see another board-certified plastic surgeon in the area to discuss your best options. Good luck.

Yes they are frequently performed together along with the inner knees and can produce a dramatic result to reshape your whole leg. Some patients don’t realize there is a fat pocket that connects from their inner knee area and wraps around the front of the lower leg and removing this can completely change the look of the leg. Even in skinny patients sometimes fat removal here can be dramatic.

David Hansen, MD · Answer

Most often calves and ankles are done separately from thighs and knees due to the volume and amount of work needed to do a quality job. You need to do the lipo on these areas under tumescent local since your doc has to stand you up occasionally to see the progress and fine tune the results to be able to go all around the areas.
