Liposuction, Arms,
Ankles, Calves & Knees
DR. CHARLES
BAILEY, JR., MD, FACS, FICS
Board
Certified Surgeon
The correction of the
sagging, bat wing arm is technically referred
to as Brachioplasty. In the past, large
incisions were required to remove excess
skin and fat. But today, advances in liposuction
have allowed us to provide excellent contouring
for most patients without the traditional
long scars. Small incisions are made in
the armpit and the elbow. The cannula suctions
the fat from the selected areas, allowing
the surgeon to sculpt the desired contour.
As a result of
this technique, skin quality is unchanged.
Some swelling and bruising may occur, but
will diminish in about 3 to 5 weeks. The
knees, calves and ankles are highly visible
and important to us aesthetically. Hips
and thighs can frequently be camouflaged
by dresses, but only pants can hide the
calves and ankles. Attractive legs are characterized
by a gradual tapering from strong thighs
to delicate ankles

more information about Liposuction of the
arms, ankles, calves and knees contact Dr.
Bailey at 713-799-9999.
The basic shape of this
part of the leg is determined by the muscles
and bone, making this an extremely difficult
area to change. However, the latest liposuction
is the removal of unwanted fat from the
body. A small incision is made in the skin
just large enough to accommodate a small
hollow tube called a cannula.
The cannula suctions
the fat from selected areas of the body
to create the desired contour. Removal of
fat in ankles calves and knees requires
tiny incisions on each side of the Achilles
tendon and knee. Fortunately Dr. Bailey
has performed thousands of liposuction procedures
using the latest techniques.
