Although soft semi-solid silicone implants work very well for calf augmentation, i do not recommend placing an implant in the ankle region. Similarly i do not recommend injecting any filler material or fat for ankle augmentation because of either poor longevity and/or serious complications. Glad to help.
You may be acandidate for calf augmentation. Calf implants are a form of muscle enhancementsurgery designed to improve leg contour. Through small incisions, implants canbe inserted to create improved calf definition. It’s even possible to use yourown fat to increase the size of your calves andlegs, so that nothing artificial may be needed to correct a naturaldeformity or to increase the size of the leg. I recommend making an appointmentwith a board certified plastic surgeon who can review your surgical optionswith you in detail.
Fat injection may be the only possible treatment for your problem. But be aware of the fact that there are definitely more than one procedures necessary to get a decent result. The area is not as receptive for fat injections than other areas as the breast.Please talk to your plastic surgeons about this!Good luck!best regards,G Huemer
If you have enough fat to harvest, fat injections can be done around the ankles and lower calf areas. While not all fat will survive, I have found that procedure to be moderately successful with no complications other than some prolonged swelling of the injected areas. The problem for some people with very skinny lower legs is that their bodies are often very thin as well and have little to no fat to harvest.
