Orange County Cankle Surgery

How often have you wished that you could get rid of "cankles?" This term refers to the appearance of a thick ankle that appears to be the same width as the calf. Men and women are often left feeling self-conscious about wearing certain clothes and/or shoes when they have cankles. Terry J. Dubrow, M.D., F.A.C.S. is an experienced and qualified Newport Beach cankles specialist who can help patients achieve a more contoured ankle through the use of liposuction.

Cankle reduction is a delicate procedure, which is why it is highly recommended that a patient consults with an experienced surgeon. Dr. Dubrow is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), and has the training and experience necessary to perform cankles surgery. Having gained popularity from the Fox reality television show, "The Swan," Dr. Dubrow attracts Riverside cankles patients, as well as Orange County patients.

Getting Rid of Cankles

During a consultation with our Orange County plastic surgeon, patients will discuss the various reasons that cankles are formed and their options for improving the condition. Some of the causes include:

• Bone structure
• Excess fat
• Muscular calves
• Medical condition that causes swelling.

Depending on your particular case, Dr. Dubrow may suggest liposuction ("lipoplasty") to produce a natural-looking and more defined distinction between the calf and ankle. However, patients must be aware that liposuction of the ankle carries slightly higher risks due to the sensitivity of the area. Extra care needs to be taken when performing liposuction in this area, because this region is mostly comprised of muscle and bones.
