Is there a Non Surgical Solution to extremely skinny legs? (photo)

HelpmypoorlegsJan 13, 2014
My extreme skinny legs are really depressing me, years of bullying and teasing about them, I have resorting to wear 6-7 socks a day which has caused really itchy rash on both legs along with constant bleeding from the harsh scratching on my part. I have vigorously searched the Internet for a padding solution but to no avail, does anyone know where I could find such, any information would be greatful, I'm fed up with having to pad.

There are no ankle implants that I'm aware of.  Many patients are interested in enhancing their ankles.  Unfortunately, there are no good options.  Fat injection may work if injected over several sessions.  This can become expensive and still may not work.  Sorry.....
