I've always had an issue with excess fat on my legs from my hips to my ankles. My upper body has always been fit and somewhat muscular but I never have been able to acheive that in my legs. So after having 3 kids including one over 40 I decided to see a plactic surgeon about my deflated breasts and address the hatred I've always had for my legs. I found an excellent doctor here on RealSelf. He listened to my concerns, anwsered all my questions and we scheduled the surgery.
Everyone at the surgery center was very nice and my after care nurse was just phenomenal. Post op was real rought the first few days but by the one month mark I felt pretty much back to normal and by the second month I was back to normal.
I am three months out now. I went from a small B to a full C with 350cc Ideal Implant (no lift) and lost 2 pant sizes. My calves and ankles have never been as small and defined as they are right now. I am absolutely thrilled with my results and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Do you have additional pictures of your legs? I would love to have lipo done to my thighs, knees and calves and would love to see additional pictures of your results at different angles if you have some.

Thank you for your post and pics. I've been searching for procedures with the legs (calves in particular) and haven't found anything with pictures or results. I think your ps did an awesome job with your ankles and calves.

Thank you :)
I am very pleased with my results. I had the same problem finding reviews or photos of calf and ankle procedures. Let me know if I can answer and questions for you. I'd be happy to help.

Hi Bebe Congrats! They look super natural :)
Do u know if ur Dr got them both filled to 350cc or more on one to make them look almost identical.
Also r u happy with Ideal & how they feel?
July 29, 2016
Thanks so much!! I am very happy with the way they look. Yes, the doctor did put 360cc in the right one.
As far as how they feel, for the most part they feel good but I can feel the implant along the bottom of my breasts which is kinda disappointing. I didn't really expect that but I think the trade off was worth it and over all I'm happy with how everything turned out :D

Thanks so much for replying. Hope it starts to feel better & part of your breast at some point,
July 29, 2016
Sorry forgot to ask if the implants went under the muscle or over?
July 29, 2016
Thank you! I curious to hear if you have a similar experience. The doctor said most patients feel like they become part of them around a year and I had dual plane to help with lift.
