Calf and Ankle Liposuction
What is calf and ankle liposuction?
Liposuction for your calves and ankles is a simple, minimally invasive procedure. Because of the fact that liposuction physically removes the fat cells that can be so stubbornly resistant to diet and exercise, it can give you not only dramatic, but long-lasting results.
It is important to accept and love ourselves and others for who we are, rather than judging based on societal standards of beauty.
How does calf and ankle liposuction work?
You will only need a few, tiny incisions to get transformative results from your calf and ankle liposuction. Then, Infini’s surgeons, Dr. Hall or Dr. Shuell insert a small cannula and suction away those fat deposits to slim and shape your lower legs.
And, since at Infini, we only use the Awake Lipo method, where you’re kept completely comfortable with only mild sedation and local anesthesia, it’s far safer than a procedure using general anesthesia.
Who is a good candidate for calf and ankle liposuction?
You’re a good candidate for liposuction of your calves and ankles if you’ve been trying to slim your lower legs and get a defined look, but aren’t having any luck with diet or exercise.
You should also:
- Be in good health
- Be at, or close to, your ideal weight
- Have good skin elasticity to help with recovery
- Have realistic expectations of your results

What are Cankles?
Cankles are a slang term used to describe thick ankles that do not have a defined ankle bone or joint, giving the appearance of a continuous lower leg. This term is generally considered to be offensive and should be avoided. It is important to remember that everyone’s body is different and that there is no “perfect” body type.
What causes Cankles?
Cankles, or the appearance of thick ankles without a defined ankle bone or joint, can be caused by a variety of factors. These can include excess weight, genetics, and even water retention. In some cases, cankles may be a sign of underlying health issues, such as problems with the circulatory system or hormonal imbalances.
It is important to speak with a healthcare provider if you are concerned about the appearance of your ankles or any other aspect of your health.
Why People Want to Get Rid of Cankles?
Many people may want to get rid of cankles because they feel self-conscious about their appearance. In some cases, cankles may be a sign of underlying health issues, and addressing these issues can improve overall health and wellbeing.
It is important to remember, however, that there is no “perfect” body type, and that it is important to accept and love ourselves and others for who we are. Seeking to change our bodies (for example with a weight loss) for the sake of meeting societal standards of beauty can often be harmful and detrimental to our mental and emotional health conditions.
The Best Way to Get Rid of Cankles?
It is not necessarily healthy or advisable to try to “get rid” of cankles. As mentioned earlier, cankles can be caused by a variety of factors, and addressing these underlying issues is the best way to improve the appearance of the ankles.
For example, if excess weight is causing cankles, a healthy diet and regular exercise can help to reduce fat and improve overall health. If cankles are caused by water retention, reducing salt intake and increasing water intake can help to reduce swelling.
Which can be medical causes of ankle swelling?
Ankle swelling can be caused by a variety of medical conditions. Some common causes of ankle swelling include:
- Venous insufficiency, a condition in which the veins in the legs are unable to effectively pump blood back to the heart, leading to pooling of blood and swelling in the ankle area
- Lymphedema, a condition in which the lymphatic system is damaged or unable to function properly, causing fluid to build up and swell in the ankles and other parts of the body
- Hormonal imbalances, such as those that occur during pregnancy or menopause, can cause fluid retention and swelling in the ankles
- Cellulitis, a bacterial infection of the skin and underlying tissue that can cause swelling, redness, and warmth in the affected area
- Heart failure, a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to fluid build-up in the ankles and other parts of the body
- Kidney disease, which can cause the body to retain fluid and lead to swelling in the ankles and other parts of the body.
It is important to speak with a healthcare provider if you are experiencing ankle swelling, as it can be a sign of an underlying medical condition that needs to be treated.
How are Edemas related to Cankles?
Edema is a condition in which fluid builds up in the body’s tissues, leading to swelling. This can occur in any part of the body, including the ankles. When edema affects the ankles, it can cause the ankles to appear thick and swollen, giving the appearance of cankles.
Edema can be caused by a variety of factors, including underlying medical conditions, hormonal imbalances, and even standing or sitting for long periods of time. In some cases, edema can be treated with medications or other interventions, depending on the underlying cause. It is important to speak with a healthcare provider if you are experiencing edema or other symptoms of swelling.
Can a Venous disease / insufficiency Cause Ankles to Swell?
Yes, a venous disease, also known as venous insufficiency, can cause ankles to swell. Venous insufficiency is a condition in which the veins in the legs are unable to effectively pump blood back to the heart. This can cause an irregular blood flow in the veins (varicose veins), leading to swelling and other symptoms in the ankles and lower legs.
Venous insufficiency is a common cause of chronic swelling in the ankles, and it can be treated with medications, lifestyle changes, or other interventions. It is important to speak with a healthcare provider if you are experiencing swelling or other symptoms of venous insufficiency.
Excess fat, obesity, lipedema
Cankles, or the appearance of thick ankles without a defined ankle bone or joint, can be caused by a variety of factors. These can include the size and shape of the calf muscles, excess fat, obesity, and blood clots.
The size and shape of the calf muscles can affect the appearance of the ankles. For example, if the calf muscles are very large or muscular, they can make the ankles appear thicker. On the other hand, if the calf muscles are small or weak, they can make the ankles appear thin and bony.
Excess fat can also contribute to the appearance of cankles. When fat builds up around the ankles, it can make the ankles appear thick and swollen. This can be caused by being overweight or obese, as well as other factors such as genetics or hormonal imbalances.
Blood clots can also cause cankles. When a blood clot forms in a vein, it can block the flow of blood, leading to swelling and other symptoms in the affected area. Blood clots can be dangerous and should be treated as a medical emergency.
The medical term Lipedema denotes the abnormal accumulation of fat in the legs and ankles. This can cause the legs and ankles to appear swollen and distorted, and is often mistaken for obesity. Lipedema is a chronic condition that can be difficult to treat, and it is important to speak with a healthcare provider if you think you may have this condition.
Can compression stockings help reduce cankles?
Compression stockings are a type of garment that is worn on the legs to apply gentle pressure to the veins and arteries. This can help to improve circulation and reduce swollen legs and ankles. In some cases, compression stockings may be helpful for people with cankles caused by venous insufficiency or other conditions that cause swelling.
However, compression stockings are not a cure for cankles, and they may not be effective for everyone. It is important to speak with a healthcare provider before using compression stockings, as they can provide guidance and advice on the best course of action for your individual situation.

You want your lower legs to look defined, sexy, and sleek but cankles ruin all that.
In fact, instead of subtly tapering from your knees down to your ankles, stubborn fat deposits can leave them looking like heavy columns, rather than the slim lower legs you’ve been dreaming of.
And, since this type of fat is often genetic, walking, biking, and even lifting weights never seems to make a difference.
