Slim body, thick ankles (cankles) BodyTite?

allison_bartsAug 14, 2022
Hello, I am quite a slim person (5'6 and 48 kilos/105 lbs), but have always had thick calves/ankles (but slim thighs and upper body). Weight loss does not change anything (although the calf/ankle is first area to expand if I gain). I would like to know if I might be a candidate for bodytite or something similar; I would like to avoid invasive surgery and also do not want to lose any more weight. Many thanks

Thank you for your question! It is surgeon preference on lymphatic massage after liposuction. I do recommend lymphatic massage after liposuction procedures because it can really help speed up recovery (swelling). I would always recommend to ask your surgeon for his or her preference on after care.
