Calf and Ankle Liposuction Aftercare

Liposuction of the calves and ankles is easy to do yourself.  We send patients home in support stockings such as the ones used for sclerotherapy.  This give great compression from the toes up to the thighs.  Walking is encouraged the next day.  The final results tend to take 4-6 months though.

Even I had to laugh the first time my patient told me she wanted her cankles liposuctioned.  This area does take longer to see the final result and can take up to 6 months in large cases.  The pain ersolves fairly quickly and only tylenol or alleve are needed within several days.  I have my patients wear compressive stockings post op for up to 6 weeks.  Most patients are back to work within 3-4 days.
