Is it uncommon to do an upper knee tuck?

April 21, 2016
Asked By:netkris in Detroit, MI

I am aware that lipo on the area above the knee is tricky, partially due to loose skin afterward. I would be willing to have a fine, arched scar above my kneecaps... Is it so uncommon to simply excise the extra skin in this location? I doubt anyone would judge the scar as a cosmetic one. They'd assume it was injury-related. My guess is it takes a while to heal because of the constant movement.
