Is Sculpsure an effective treatment to reduce ‘cankles’?

Question

I am researching non surgical options to reduce/contour my ankles. Sculpsure treatments came up as an effective treatment. Is it worth looking further into this option? Thank you!

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

When we perform liposuction to the lower legs, microcannulas are used to remove fat very superficially without damaging the tissue or causing any scars or irregularities. Multiple energy devices are used to melt fat and tighten skin, which is especially needed in this small, sensitive area. Precision and skill is vital to get the best outcomes.Coolsculpting and Kybella are non-surgical options that can also be used for fat reduction in the knees.
I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert to determine the best course of treatment for you. Best, Dr. Emer

An in person consultation is necessary to determine your best course of action.  Thank you for your question.    Sculpsure and Coolsculpting can effectively reduce fat in almost any area of the body.  Normally two rounds are necessary for best outcomes.  Your cosmetic surgeon will help you to determine your best course of action.

Lamia Gabal, MD · Answer

It depends upon the size of the fat pad in that area. Each treatment head is approximately 3x4” and can be made to stay in an area of about that size.  You should have a consultation with an experienced provider to decide if this would work for your particular anatomy.
