I am now just over 12 weeks post cankle liposuction under local anaesthetic.
The surgery itself was very easy , didnt feel a thing and no pain afterwards, just muscle soreness I was back at work the 4th day post op.
4 weeks post op , my legs looked fantastic! I can definitely tell the difference, but now at 12 weeks post op and still weraing the compression garment religiously, my results seem to have disappeared, I am so not sure if this is swelling or they are my final results..
I did read soem reviews on here and saw some before and after photos but unfortunately there arent too many reviews on cankle lipo so thought I would start my own and I really appreciate comemments from those who have had it or from those who want to have this opertaion and have any questions about it.. I know it is not a very common procedure and not a common area to suction.. But I am Happy to share my experience, although at this point I am still very unsure whetehr it is worth it or not..??
hanging in there.. :-(
love to hear from you.. xx

So glad you wrote a review for the exact reason you mentioned- there aren't a lot of reviews! We'd love to see some pics of your ankle/calf area. Keep us posted on the rest of your healing. From what I read on other reviews- it seems that the swelling lingers a lot longer for this type of lipo. Probably something to do with gravity and all the extra pressure on our lower extremeties.

Hi, I️ just recently had my ankles done. I’m on the 5th or 6th day. I️ am crazy swollen. The swelling is causing a Ton of pain. I️ was very happy with my immediate results. Now its just a waiting game for all the swelling to subside. Anyhow I️ was just wondering how your legs are now. Do you feel back to normal? No tingling, pain? Are you happy with your results?

Hi, the swelling is very normal and the pain also, I had it myself to. Just make sure you walk enough I know it hurts but it helps against complications. and the tinteling well it’s 1 year ago I had my surgery and the tineteling is now gone just this month.. so jut be patience. how are your leggs now?

I think you look great in your before pics! What part of your ankles/calves bothered you?

No curves in my leg. It was up down look. I am a very very tiny girl so my lower legs were the only area in my body that was large.
Hope things resolve to your satisfaction and again thanks for sharing.
recovery was really easy I was walking the next day and no pain really, just soreness and tightness which is annoying.
hope that helps x
I was wondering how comfortable it would be to walk afterwards. I had a thigh lift (love my surgeon) and walking afterwards was somewhat challenging but doable. An easy recovery is good news. Yes that helps.
Stay positive ;)
the recovery was easy.. I was wearing shoes and pants the next day , out and about no problems..
I am just unsure whether it was worth it or not.. but I hope it was. you need to find someone (not neccesarily a plastic surgeon) who had done it before and see before and after photos. My doctor had done a few and she showed me photos and they were quiet amazing. she is a cosmetic physician but she is very good. I dont think this is a plastic surgeon thing. Most plastic surgeons I rang and enquired if they do it, they all turned me down, either said the results are very poor, or that risks are very high, and some the very few who were willing to do it havent dodne that area before.. it was more like a "can do" attitude.. which is not enough.
just make sure whoever you go to , they have before and after pics of the cankle region.
I will post some photos shortly..
