I realize that at his point in time the applicator system requires "loose" skin to be placed between two plates, which does not seem feasible with ankle fat.

Answer: Coolsculpting for ankles
For now, an area like the ankles isn't treatable in the foreseeable future for exactly the reason you mention with the cooling panels/plates. The tissue in the ankle area isn't lack and compressable enough to draw into an applicator to treat. Drawing the tissue into the applicator as opposed to focusing the cold straight down into tissue is not only more effective but much safer as well.
