Liposuction of knees and thighs

Tracy M. Pfeifer, MD answers: Liposuction for thighs and knees

I am a 44-year-old female planning on getting Liposuction within the next few weeks on my thighs and knees. Are the knees charged separate from the thighs? Which type of Liposuction should I go for on this area? Is this a decision the doctor makes after examining me?

In New York City most surgeons charge separately for different areas and the knees and thighs are considered two different areas.  Liposuction utilizing tumescent fluid with small cannulas is appropriate.  Your plastic surgeon will utilize the type of liposuction that he/she feels is best for you.  In most cases, the experience of the plastic surgeon is more important than the type of liposuction used.
