Orange County Cankle Surgery

Millions of tried, but still, no one has found an easy way to get rid of "cankles." Though very common, cankles—the informal term for poorly defined ankles that are nearly or completely indiscernible from the calf—can be embarrassing to both men and women. For many patients around Newport Beach, cankles make them feel too self-conscious to wear certain clothes or footwear. But thanks to Terry J. Dubrow, M.D., F.A.C.S., you don't have to spend the rest of your life hiding your feet and legs.

Dr. Dubrow, star surgeon from Fox's "The Swan" and E!'s "Bridalplasty," has developed one of the area's top cankle reduction procedures that uses liposuction to give you lovely, natural looking ankles. Due to the sensitivity of the area, cankles surgery is a highly delicate procedure offered only by the most experienced surgeons. Throughout his years as a board-certified plastic surgeon with the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), Dr. Dubrow has performed countless successful cankle operations throughout Newport Beach, Orange County and Riverside.

Cankles: Causes and Cures

Safely getting rid of cankles through surgery requires careful consultation with a highly qualified plastic surgeon. Before receiving a cankles treatment, you'll discuss the likely causes of cankles and the best way to improve your condition. Cankles can result from:

• Excess fat
• Your natural bone structure
• Muscular calves
• Swelling caused by a medical condition (edema)
• Genetics

Because each case is different, Dr. Dubrow will recommend the safest most effective treatment options for you. For this with excess fat in the ankles, a carefully targeted liposuction ("lipoplasty") around your calves and ankles consistently produces excellent results. Cankle removal on patients with vascular problems, venous deficiency or chronic edema should be performed with the utmost care and caution. At our practice, we feel it's incredibly important that each patient understands the risks, so we encourage you to come in and speak with us face to face before making a decision.
