I have thick, swollen ankles (cankles), would Liposuction be a permanent remedy for this?

May 9, 2014

okay I was asked to shortend the details of my questions, So I just cut ALL the details out & lets cut to the chase. I am 26, about 5 foot 7 about 165lbs & for as long as I can remember I've had thick ankles that swells up depending on what I eat.... My question is what are the permanent remedies for this???? Ankle Lipo???? Is that a good idea? Can I have it done while awake??? Ankle Mesotheraphy??? What can I do for permanent results???
