Cankle problems NYC. Can anyone recommend a great doctor in the NYC area?

Very few docs have the experience or know how to do cankles right so traveling to los angeles is usually a requirement to get it done under local where you are stood up occasionally to fine tune them with the micro cannulas.

by far the most important thing is to make sure that you do not have ankle edema (swelling due to poor circulation). once that has been verified then I can say that you will have good results after the leg and ankle sculpting. I just did a cankle case 2 days ago and the patient is back to work today. it is quite gratifying and one can get smooth sculpted legs. all the best :)

Thank you for the question. I agree these areas are small but require expertise. My practice has seen an increase in requests for these areas recently with natural looking results. However not every patient is a good candidate. You must be seen in person to determine the best approach for you. Best of luck my dear Dr. Khuthaila

When looking for a surgeon for something very specific, such as liposuction of the calves and ankles, it is important to find a doctor who routinely performs the procedure and who can show you before and after pictures of patients that they have operated on. These images will not only give you a sense of the surgeon’s skill, but will help you to better visualize the procedure for yourself.





Liposuction as an outpatient procedure under I.V. sedation can reduce the bulge that some people have in their ankles and restore a more shapely leg. Unlike other areas of the body the ankles and calves  require a certain delicacy which is why I use several innovative forms of liposuction, including SmartLipo, to contour and re-sculpture the area while providing the most beautiful results with minimal scarring. SmartLipo, used in combination with other forms of liposuction or alone, is a procedure that uses laser light to liquefy fat and tighten the surrounding skin. It’s thought to  involve less downtime and side-effects than traditional liposuction and is particularly good for small areas of fat deposits like the ankles. New technology that's gentler and faster than ever before not only allows the removal of fat, but also re-sculpts the legs.

While this is not the most common areas for liposuction, improvement of the calves and ankles can be dramtaic after liposuction in carefully selected patients, and in experienced hands. Patients that have had knees, calves and ankles are some of my happiest.
