I have thick ankles and legs since a very young age. Even when I was under the weight I should have been, they were always thick and prevented me from wearing heels or skirts. Is there a procedure that can make my legs and ankles look feminine, and what should I do? Many thanks. Deniz

Answer: Cankles Hello and thank you for your question! As you describe, “cankles” refers to when the ankle and calf are bulky and lack definition to create the aesthetically pleasing transition/contour from calf to ankle. Many women are self-conscious about the appearance of their lower legs and also often find it hard to wear boots. There are many things that contribute to the appearance and shape of the lower leg, including your bone structure, muscle tone, and fat. When fat is the culprit, liposuction can be performed to remove this excess fat and create a natural and aesthetically pleasing contour of the lower leg. I perform this using a combination of liposuction techniques with fine cannulas through small incisions under IV sedation in my fully-accredited operating room.
