I'm so glad I did this and so glad I found Dr. Taranow. I had liposuction performed on my calves/ankles, knees, and inner thighs and a fat transfer to my breasts. Calves and ankles are a challenging area that not many doctors will do and often the ones that "specialize" in it charge outlandish prices, even for a consultation. I chose Dr. Taranow because he was honest, didn't try to oversell me on expectations (if anything he undersold), has almost 30 years of experience specifically with liposuction and fat transfer, took a full hour during my (free) consultation with him to talk everything over, and even took additional time to talk with me over the phone when I had more questions later. He estimated that he'd be able to get a small to modest amount of fat from my legs and transfer about 150cc to each breast, but I was shocked when after my procedure they told me he had managed to get 1900cc (almost 2 liters!) from my legs and transfer 250cc to each breast. 250cc per breast might not sound like that much, but it took me from a deflated 34 inch bust to a full 37 inches. Healing has been much easier than I anticipated, but ymmv of course. The first week is obviously the worst, but definitely still manageable. I was able to get up and walk around even on day one. It is now just over a month since my procedure and my legs continue to look more amazing by the day. I can see my calf muscles now! I was prepared to see a large portion of the fat transfer diminish, but remarkably I'm still measuring at 36.5" and seem to have retained almost all of it. Dr. T told me that at this point the bulk of the swelling has likely receded and while I might see some slight changes in the next few months, what I see now will be very close to where I end up. I'm so happy with my results, I feel so much more proportionate and everything looks so natural!

figured i'd provide a 3 months update. I've definitely lost some volume in my breasts, mostly from the upper pole area. Still measuring 36" though and looking significantly better than before. I might want to do some small tweaks to my knees, but overall I'm still really happy with my choice and with the outcome of my procedure. I feel comfortable wearing shorts, which is kind of a miracle for me.
Wow, that is awesome to hear! I never heard of doing liposuction to the ankle area. What did recovery look like for you?
