Liposuction of Legs for Sixty Year Old?

Hi.

This point is not stressed in the video, but women who have liposuction of the ankles and calves (and knees) are among the happiest patients.  There is no excess skin in the lower leg, so that is not a problem.  Your age is not an issue if you are in excellent health.

Ankles, calves, and fat knees present no problem with excess skin.  I have done many over a 30 year career and have seen zero that needed skin excess excised at any age.   Many of my patients were in their 60s and 70s.   If your health is fine and you have no circulation problems and if you do not smoke or have diabetes you are a fine candidate.  20 lb excess is next to nothing so certainly do not worry about that.  You need to find an American  Board of Plastic Surgery surgeon that has very extensive experience in ankles, calves and knees and go for a consult or possible 2 consults.  Consults usually are free.    Then go have the surgery.  You will need support hose for 2 to 3 weeks all the time when up and thereafter on an as needed basis.   If you find the right doctor in your neighborhood that has the experience with these areas you will be fine.  My Best,  Dr C
