What is the pain like after liposuction of the calves? Will walking be unbearable?

Hello and thank you for your question.  Since there is more dynamic action of the muscles of walking on calves than have been liposuctioned, just expect more soreness for a little while. It varies with each patient but rely on the care and support of your surgeon to get you through this excellent contouring concept. Calve and ankle liposuction should be offered in a number of cases where patient simply wish the hips and thighs be contoured. The second hour glass shape in the human body is the graceful curvature from the knees, calves, and  down to the ankles. It is a good procedure in the right patient. Since your gastrocnemius muscles are pumping right along exactly at the surgery site, just plan for but not worry about, the soreness.  Compression and walking and calf exercises will be under the management of your doctor. Best wishes. 

Most patients that I treat will be able to go back to routine activities within a few days. You likely will be a bit sore.
