Is it worth doing lipo on your cankles?
I’ve had veinous insufficiency going on since I was a kid. I had one vein popping out since it was 15 and had surgery for it when I was 20-21. It wasn’t a minor thing that made me as a young woman a little insecure. It legit had popped and was about the size of half a pinky finger.
The doctor I went to did a scan (forgot the name of it) and pressed my calves and was stunned to see how bad they where. I was then 22 yrs, 5’7 and about 120 lbs mind you. I asked him why did I have this since I was: thin, young, non drinker or any drugs and fairly athletic. His answer was genes. My great grandma, grandma and mom have all had bad veins and I’m talking the big several ones.
I’ve wear regular compression socks daily. And currently at 35 have loads of spiderveins that I plan on removing this autumn.
My problem however are my cankles. I don’t have the courage to post on Reddit but my cankles are fairly large for my frame, Im 141 lbs today. I’ve seen way bigger women with smaller ankles than me. I’ve had exes comment on them negatively and a masseur saying they look swollen. Is it worth doing lipo? Because from what I can see other than loosing weight there is no other treatment. Only symptom management. Compression socks. Lower salt intake. Loose weight. Do vibrations plates work? I don’t think I’ve got lymphedema.
