I'm of a healthy weight but I have always had huge calves and ankles. I'm having a hard time finding a doctor near Cincinnati OH that specializes in working on calves and ankles (I understand it's a difficult area to work on). I want to find someone that will tell me the best procedure for the best outcome and have confidence in their experience. I'm willing to travel a couple of hours in any direction to find someone I trust. How do I find the right doctor besides scheduling a hundred consultations?
Answer: How Do I Find a Local Doctor That Specializes in Sculpting Calves and Ankles?
Liposuction in general is a technique and surgeon dependent procedure in which significant results without contour issues are achieved by few. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Liposuction of the ankles and calves is tricky.
Liposuction is generally fairly straightforward. In the ankle and calf region is somewhat more tricky because of the anatomy and the propensity for prolonged postoperative swelling.

Answer: Finding Plastic Surgeon?
It will be up to you to do your due diligence in the process of plastic surgeon selection. I would suggest starting with the American Society of Plastic Surgery and/or the Aesthetic Society of Plastic Surgery to obtain a list of well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
Then, I would suggest you visit a few surgeons whose practices concentrate on aesthetic surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work and preferably speak/see patients who have had similar procedures done.
You will find, while doing your due diligence, that there are many different “specialties” who will offer their services to you; again, I strongly recommend you concentrate on surgeons certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.
I hope this helps.

Answer: Cankle surgery Thank you for your question! Liposculpture as an outpatient procedure under I.V. sedation can reduce the bulge that some people have in their calves and ankles and restore a more shapely leg. Unlike other areas of the body the ankles and calves require a certain delicacy which is why I use several innovative forms of liposuction, including SmartLipo, to contour and resculpture the area while providing the most beautiful results with minimal scarring. When looking for a surgeon for something very specific, such as liposuction of the calves and ankles, it is important to find a doctor who routinely performs the procedure and who can show you before and after pictures of patients that they have operated on. These images will not only give you a sense of the surgeon’s skill, but will help you to better visualize the procedure for yourself. I suggest making an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options in more detail!
