I have cellulite on my thighs that are large and bulky on the front of my thighs. I want to have slimmer thighs. Would I get good results from circumferential lipo of the thighs and should that include the knees??

If you want the best results, then an abdominoplasty is, without question, the correct procedure. Liposuction can give an improvement, but it will be quite modest in relation to what a full abdominoplasty will deliver. For those who will not consider a full abdominoplasty, then...
You are an excellent candidate for liposuction. From the photographs it looks as though your quite fit. The skin over the area in question is in good condition. The amount of fat to be removed is relatively modest. You should expect an excellent result.
Swelling in the connective tissue after liposuction can create banding. This is more likely to occur if ultrasound or laser is used. This will improve with time.
