Placement of fat tissue in women’s lower legs and ankles is genetically predetermined. This fat accumulation is almost impossible to be treated through diet and exercise, bringing disappointment in many women who try to solve the problem this way.

Accumulations in the lower leg and ankle areas consist predominantly of surface fat. Therefore, liposuction is provided on the surface, which also carries an increased risk of affecting the subcutaneous vascular plexus. Due to the effect of gravity, the lower leg veins are very susceptible to the negative consequences of any vascular trauma in a long run.

In the area behind the knee (popliteal fossa) , important nerves and blood vessels are located and which can easily be damaged by the cannula applied for the liposuction. Therefore, liposuction in the popliteal area should never be performed or even attempted.
