What Kind of Surgery Do I Need to Make the Part on my Legs Between my Calves and Ankles Thicker?

July 4, 2012
Asked By:ML10 in Los Angeles, CA

I have normal sized calves, but the area between my calf and ankle is very thin. This makes it hard for me to feel confident when wearing shoes with thick heels that are more than 1.5" tall. I'd also like to make my legs a bit thicker all over.. Is there a surgery for these two things? It's gross how thin the part above my ankle in comparison to calf is and I want to make it the same size as my calf. Thank you in advance!
