Posted under Liposuction q&a

I would like to get knee and thigh liposuction before my knee replacement. Is this possible in my situation?

nikkisully
I am 47 years old. I will need knee replacement surgery within 1-2 years. The doctor wants me to wait to have replacement surgery. I carry all of my weight in my thighs and my knees and I believe that knee liposuction will possibly help prolong my knee surgery. Is liposuction even possible for my situation?
