Is it possible to get a calf reduction for saggy calves and loose skin?

Question

Hi, I am currently in the process of skin removal following weight loss of 120lbs. I have had arm lift, breast lift and fdl tt already, and I am booked to have lower back lift and thigh lift in april. The problem is I have saggy calves now with loose skin. I am finding it near impossible to find a surgeon that offers skin removal in the calves. Is this a thing that can be done?

Thanks for your question! Congrats on your weight loss. I am happy to read that you are now able to address your loose skin. Plastic surgeons hate to leave scars on areas of the body that are mostly uncovered. So, I am not surprised you are having difficulty settling on a treatment plan with a physician Have you considered bodytite and morpheus 8 to the area? This will help build collagen and elastin to the skin, so it will he healthier in the future. Good luck!

Yes, a calf skin reduction is possible in selected patients. There is a scar in the inner or back side of the calf.
