Calf Liposuction

Liposuction for the Calves

What is Calf Liposuction?

Calf liposuction is a surgical procedure that focsues on reducing fatty tissue in the lower legs. This procedure uses advanced Vaser Liposuction technology to target areas with high-density fat deposits for precise removal.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Calf liposuction is performed under mild sedation with local anaesthesia. Ultrasound energy is used to break down fat cells, which are then removed through a small cannula inserted via an incision. Compression garments are applied immediately after surgery to manage swelling and support recovery.

Cost of Calf Liposuction

Personalised quotes are provided during initial consultations and are influenced by factors such as:

• The complexity of the area being treated.
• The patient’s individual needs and health considerations.
• The duration of the procedure.

When Can You See Results?

Results typically become noticeable around six months post-procedure, after swelling subsides. Swelling may fluctuate due to the location of the calves and can be more pronounced if combined with procedures like ankle or knee liposuction.

Liposuction Potential Risks

While rare, some potential risks include:

• Swelling and bruising
• Scarring at incision sites
• Fluid accumulation (seroma)
• Asymmetry or uneven results
• Infection
• Changes in skin sensation (temporary or permanent)
• Blood clots
• Excessive bleeding
• Numbness or nerve damage
• Skin discoloration or hyperpigmentation
• Irregular healing or delayed wound closure
• Fat embolism (rare but serious)
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (rare but serious)
• Persistent pain or discomfort
• Risks related to anaesthesia

Non-surgical treatments are also available to address large calves that may be related to muscle bulk rather than fat deposits, book a consultation with our health practitioners to discuss treatment options.
