The fact that the ankle is thicker than it should be can create unaesthetic images and cause self-confidence problems.
At the same time, it creates an appearance that is shorter than normal with ankles thick and overweight.
Sports and diet programs often do not produce results in thinning thick ankles.
Today, advanced health technologies can easily and smoothly solve the problem of thick ankles.
The fact that the ankle is thicker than it should be can create unaesthetic images and cause self-confidence problems.
Having a slim and elegant appearance on the ankles has become possible thanks to ankle aesthetics. In ankle aesthetics, the removal of excess fat tissues in the ankle and lower part of the knee is in question. In this way, the ankles are brought into a form compatible with the rest of the body, thus balancing the body structure. Ankle aesthetics, a procedure that is usually applied by women, can rarely be requested by men. There is no thinning of the ankle bones in ankle aesthetics. What creates the slim appearance is the removal of excess adipose tissue.
The thickness of the ankles is different for each person. But there are standard values to determine the thickness level. For example, ankles between 18 cm and 21 cm are considered thin. Ankles with a normal range of 21-24 cm and higher than 24 cm are considered thick. Ankles shorter than 18 cm are much thinner than normal.
The main reason why ankles are thick is genetics. But diseases such as lipedema or lymphedema can also cause thickening of the ankles. These diseases, which cause fat increase in the leg area, can be seen not only in the ankles, but also in the whole body if not treated. In cases where the ankle is not congenital but thickened afterwards, the source of the condition should be determined by a doctor's control and the treatment method should be determined accordingly.
In addition to all these, if there is swelling in the ankle part and there is no collapse when pressure is applied, if the Achilles tendon has become invisible, or if there is a soft and fluffy tissue surrounding the ankle, ankle thinning can be performed. However, the final decision will be made by the specialist physician.
Diet or exercise programs to thin the ankles often do not work. Although the exercise programs prepared for different parts of the body and for the lower leg are somewhat effective, this is not the case for the ankle. Likewise, pilates, cold lipolysis or slimming exercises are not effective in thinning the ankle. The methods in question make the muscles work, but do not serve any purpose in melting the fat. Because they are said to be similarly effective, their programs do not have a realistic effect on thinning the ankle. Because the applied diet programs affect not only one part of the body, but the whole body. Therefore, the most effective method that can be applied to thin the ankle is the ankle thinning procedure.
Thick ankles, which many people accept in some way, can be easily transformed into thin ankles with ankle aesthetics. Even if the thickness in the ankles cannot be removed with sports and diet, liposuction is extremely effective in getting rid of excess fat and thinning the ankles. Liposuction is not only limited to the ankle and can also be applied to the calf area. Thus, the legs in general are given an aesthetic appearance. Vaser liposuction, which is a more effective and more practical method than liposuction, is also frequently used in ankle thinning operations. Thanks to this operation, which is performed using sound waves, the fat in the area is liquefied without damaging the surrounding tissue. While protecting the nerves, lymph nodes and veins, the shaping process is performed by removing the adipose tissue. The liquefied fat in the area is vacuumed and taken out with the help of cannulas.
It is of great importance that the patient's demands are understood correctly by the surgeon before proceeding to the application. In addition to the fat removal process, giving an aesthetic shape to the muscles can also take place during the application. If necessary, fat injection can also be done to correct the shape of the legs. In ankle thinning applications that last between 1 and 2 hours on average, the operation time may vary depending on the amount of fat to be removed. If it is planned to intervene in the bones before the operation, general anesthesia is usually applied. However, local anesthesia is sufficient for procedures to be performed on soft tissues and adipose tissues.
Thick ankles were usually innate and considered fateful for many people. But modern medical techniques are helping to eliminate this situation. Here's what patients need to know about ankle thinning operations:
Complying with all these rules directly affects the success of the operation. In the absence of any complications, it is possible to say that ankle aesthetics is permanent. Although it is not recommended to apply ankle thinning aesthetics before the age of 18, it can be applied if there is a medical necessity or if the general health condition is suitable.
It is recommended that patients stay in the hospital for 1 night after ankle thinning aesthetics. In the ongoing process, 1 week of rest accelerates the healing process. In the ongoing 1 to 2 week period, patients should stand as little as possible. On the second day of the operation, patients can take a warm shower. If recommended by the doctor, it may be necessary to use compression stockings for 3 weeks. In the liposuction method, the recovery time of the ankle is longer compared to other parts of the body. The average time to return to daily life is 2 to 3 weeks. However, it is necessary to wait for 1.5 months to start jogging or heavy sports activities.
After the application is completed, the formation of pain or edema in and around the ankle is considered normal. Pain relievers are effective in controlling these pains. Ankles are anatomically areas that collect edema easily, so if the feet are overloaded, the edema problem may continue for 3 months.
