Calves that are too big for their size are a common problem for many people. Particularly when compared to the thighs, they appear excessively large or thick. Furthermore, even with diet and exercise, calf fat might be quite difficult to lose. 

As a result, many individuals seek a surgical solution, such as calf liposuction. Calf fat reduction Dubai can enhance the shape of your lower legs’ backs and eliminate troublesome fat deposits, but it won’t help you lose weight. 

But there are hazards associated with this operation. In actuality, it is more technically difficult than liposuction on other body sections. It also takes longer and is more difficult to recover from. 

Although you can still have positive outcomes from this procedure, not everyone is a suitable candidate. Fat removal from calves Dubai helps eliminate stubborn fat for leaner, more defined legs. Finding a surgeon with calf liposuction experience is crucial in light of this. Prior to undergoing this procedure, it’s also critical to understand what you’re getting into. 

What Is Calf Liposuction?

A cosmetic procedure called calf liposuction is used to remove extra fat from beneath the calf skin. Calf slimming surgery Dubai enhances leg appearance by reducing excess fat and improving contours.

The gastrocnemius and soleus muscles make up the calf, which is the rear part of the lower legs. Through connective tissue, they are further joined to the Achilles tendon. Additionally, calf muscles can make the calf appear large.

It’s important to remember that calves’ heft isn’t necessarily due to fat. Because of their muscles, some people have larger calves. Additionally, activity or hypertrophy—which can result from neuromuscular disorders—can cause them to become larger. 

In a similar vein, your calves may seem huge if you have a large frame. Again, the appearance may not be due to local fat.

Therefore, prior to undergoing calf liposuction, your surgeon will ensure that the calves’ giant appearance is due to fat rather than muscle. For this, a pinch test is typically used. 

Calf contouring Dubai aims to do more than just remove fat. Additionally, many patients desire this operation to make their calves appear more slender and muscular. Additionally, this procedure can help achieve a more slender and muscular appearance for the calves. 

However, bear in mind that due to the general structure of the calf, it is considerably “trickier” and much more complicated than other liposuction procedures. Leg contouring Dubai focuses on reshaping thighs and calves for smoother body lines.

What Will The Procedure Be Like For Calf Liposuction?

Three phases comprise the calf liposuction procedure: consultation, surgery, and aftercare. The specifics of each are as follows:

Pre-Calf Liposuction Surgery Checkup

Your surgeon will visit with you in person the day before your procedure is planned. 

They will attempt to determine the overall amount of fat in your calves throughout this process, particularly in relation to the muscles and bones. 

To check for muscle definition, your surgeon may ask you to stand on your feet and then your toes for your pinch test (the result should be at least 2 cm). If it isn’t visible, the fat cover may be the culprit.

To ensure that you can have this procedure safely, an electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood test will also be performed.

Calf Liposuction Surgery

The first thing your surgeon will do is give you either local or general anesthesia. The surgeon will make small incisions at the top and bottom of your leg once the anesthesia takes effect.

A cannula breaks up the fat, and a vacuum suctions out only a few liters of it. The skin is then stitched back together. 

Some patients may combine this procedure with knee and thigh liposuction to enhance the form of their whole legs. Ankle and calf liposuction is also often performed. Body sculpting Dubai combines advanced techniques to refine your overall shape.

Although it might seem easy enough, the surgeon must be cautious to remove the fat using the proper tools and methods. The various skin thicknesses and the incisional locations are also carefully considered for this procedure. 

Lower leg fat removal Dubai provides precise fat elimination for slimmer lower limbs. As previously said, fat removal is not the only goal. For better cosmetic outcomes, the surgeon may actually decide to leave the fat in some places (such as above the gastrocnemius muscle).

Post-Calf Liposuction Operation Aftercare

For the treatment of post-operative side effects, you will be prescribed specific painkillers, antibiotics, and anti-swelling medications after you are released from the hospital. 

Following surgery, patients typically endure severe discomfort. Swelling and pain may also accompany it. The latter improves over time but may persist for several months. 

Your surgeon may suggest elevating the legs for a few days to a week to help reduce the edema. Following regular intervals, you are free to roam around for a few minutes. 

Fat reduction treatments Dubai aftercare requires you to wear your compression stockings for a few weeks to months. Only while you’re showering can you remove them. Compression stockings can aid in the healing process following calf liposuction.

After around 6 months, your finished effects ought to be apparent.
