Vaser Lipo to calves - risks and benefits? (Photo)

Question

What do you suggest for my fatty calves and ankles. Would liposuction of these areas make my skin saggier and increase cellulite to that area? Basically I want to know the pros and cons of this procedure to slim down my calves and whether the fat is good for transfer to my buttocks/ thighs . I am 51 years old so worried about skin elasticity and further aesthetic problems .. I am otherwise in good health and have no health issues.

Some #areas of the body Vaser is applied to include the face, chin, neck, arms, back, abdomen, "love handles", buttocks, thighs, hips, saddlebags, knees, and, the male chest during Gynecomastia surgery. An ideal  #candidate for Vaser Liposuction is a person in good health who seeks a minimally invasive way to remove stubborn fat with less downtime than traditional #liposuction. Vaser is ideal for those seeking improved definition of muscles and contouring.  Those who seek increased sculpting of are ideal vaser lipo candidates.There are three types of #Vaser Lipo. Each benefit patients differently depending on their needs. Your procedures should always be performed by a #Plastic Surgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery.

It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. All surgical procedures carry some degree of #risk.

Hello Sydgirl,

4D Vaser Lipsuction is the safer and more effective procedure I’d recommend to slim down your calves and ankles. Liposuction of the calves is rarely done and I recommend a plastic surgeon who is trained to perform this procedure.   You should need a short period of rest (typically 1 week) for your recovery.  Best wishes! Dr. De La Cruz.

This is because the area must not be left with any visible dents or grooves as the calves are usually visible when wearing skirts or shorts. It is very easy to cause slight contour irregularities especially when more fat is removed and the skin needs to tighten more. Dont expect perfection. If you do , you may be disappointed.

Calf lipo can only be done with VASER Lipo effectively; whether you have skin redundancy or not will require a conslutation by a VASER specialist. We also utilize J plasma skin tightening tool for patients who may require further tightening.
