The Ankle Liposuction Procedure
On the day of your procedure, you should wear loose clothing to make changing easier and more comfortable. Ankle liposuction is an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, meaning you don’t have to stay overnight in a hospital setting. On average, ankle liposuction takes about 1-2 hours, depending on how much fat needs to be removed.
At Denver Lipo, we only use the “Awake Lipo” method. You will be entirely comfortable during your procedure with only mild oral sedation and local anesthesia; this is far safer than a procedure using general anesthesia. Using a fast-acting local anesthetic ensures that the procedure will be quick and painless.
Your surgeon will start by making small incisions no bigger than a few centimeters. Then, a small cannula is inserted to help suck away fat deposits as your legs become slimmer and shapelier.
The area surrounding the Achilles tendon is tricky to treat with liposuction. However, our surgeons have performed this particular procedure many times, so you can expect beautiful results and a safe procedure.
Recovery After Ankle Lipo
After your procedure, you may experience some swelling and bruising. You are welcome to take over-the-counter medications for the discomfort. Following your surgeon’s postoperative instructions is essential, including wearing compression garments to reduce swelling and promote healing.
Our patients are generally able to return to their normal activities the day after their procedure. However, we recommend taking up to three days off from work or school, including the day of surgery, to give your body time to heal. Avoid processed food high in sodium and drink plenty of water to replenish your body.
Your Beautiful Results
Ankle and calf liposuction can give you a gorgeous definition and a subtle tapering look that will make you want to wear dresses and shorts and hang out at the beach all year long. The results will be even better if ankle lipo is combined with the lower leg, including the knees and calves.
Your skin will look tight and youthful and only continue to improve as time passes. After the surgery, you should follow a diet high in protein to help your body build new cells and collagen in the treated area.
