I am assuming from your question that you have recently lost considerable weight. Patients seeking body contouring surgery need to be particularly careful when selecting a plastic surgeon and also when deciding if and when to combine simultaneous surgical procedures. Multiple studies have looked at the risks associated with combing plastic surgical procedures. The decisions that the patient and the surgeon make during the initial consultation have a great impact on recovery times and eventual outcomes. Life threatening complications are rare after plastic surgery, but patients should seek out only board certified plastic surgeons that operate in an accredited ambulatory surgical facility or a hospital. I also recommend that anesthesia services be provided by a board certified anesthesiologist to further ensure your safety during a long procedure.
Finally, liposuction of the calves can be performed safely, but the surgeon should be very comfortable with lower extremity anatomy to limit the risks of vascular, neurologic, or lymphatic injuries.
