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

Yes, calves and thighs can be done together in certain patients. However, not all surgeons will do liposuction on calves since the recovery and swelling take up to one year to heal. Risks are higher and results may not be as good for liposuction of the calves. Surgeons who do liposuction of the calves usually limit surgery to those under 40 years old.

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.

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.
