Cankles

A cankle is a thick ankle that appears to be a continuation of the calf.

Some women are genetically predisposed to have an abnormal amount of fat around their legs and ankles. Unfortunately, fatty deposits in the ankles are often the most resistant to diet and exercise.

In some cases, a larger ankle or cankle is to due to bone structure or muscular calves, not excess fat. Sometimes it is excess swelling and water retention due to a medical condition or pregnancy. Come in for a free consultation with Dr. Stewart to see if you would be a candidate for this procedure.
