Is Renuva a good and permanent option for very thin ankles?

Calf implants can solve the upper/mid section but ankle will remain thin. Fat transfer has been dismissed but Renuva suggested as a solution to thickening/widening the ankles. Is this correct? What do you recommend? Please don’t say... just accept them! Thank you in advance.

Renuva should not be injected into the lips. It is intended to be injected only where fat naturally exists in the body. Renuva is perfect for volumizing areas of the face and body, like the cheeks, hands, breasts and buttocks. I recommend a hyaluronic acid for filling the lips instead.
