Ankle Thinning

One of the body parts that are affected by weight changes and whose aesthetic structure deteriorates is the ankles. Some individuals may be more prone to fat storage in this region genetically. In this case, liposuction can be performed with the application of ankle thinning aesthetics, and the operation can be performed with the ankles and, if necessary, the calf area. These two operations are often applied together.

The liposuction procedure, which is often referred to as a regional slimming technique in the world of aesthetic surgery, is a reliable procedure only when applied by plastic surgeons to provide a thinner, emphasized and aesthetically rearranged version of a region.

What is Ankle Thinning?

When the human body carries certain proportions, it gains an eye-pleasing appearance. In different parts of different individuals, there may be unaesthetic appearances that disrupt this ratio and disturb them. One of these areas is the ankles. Especially women want their ankles to look thinner and more delicate. Open shoes and clothes worn mostly in the summer season can disturb women with thick ankles.

When we look at what is ankle thinning, this process can be defined as regional thinning performed by the lipsuction procedure applied to the thick ankle.

How Is Ankle Thinning Performed?

Local anesthesia is generally preferred for this operation because the operation area is small. However, if the area to be treated covers the calf and the entire leg, general anesthesia or sedation technique can also be selected.

First, local anesthesia is applied to the individual. Then a special liquid is given to the body. This liquid facilitates the removal of the subcutaneous fat tissue from the body by providing a consistency like a slurry.

Fluid delivery is the initial stage applied in the classical liposuction application. If vaser liposuction is to be applied, a special device is kept on the skin tissue for an appropriate period of time and the ultrasonic sound waves emitted from this device are expected to ensure that the subcutaneous fat tissue becomes slurry.

After the adipose tissue is ready, several very small incisions are made on the skin. Micro cannulas are placed in these incisions and the fat tissue in liquid form is taken out of the body by vacuuming.

Then, by applying J plasma treatment to the individual, it can be ensured that the area reaches the tightened skin structure. While determining the ankle thinning methods, if the individual’s problem is only a very slight skin sagging, direct J plasma application can be performed without the need for liposuction.
