Which procedure would be most effective at targeting excess fat and cellulite above the knees and loose skin on thighs? (photos)

Question

I am 36, skinny (low BMI), exercise and eat well. But have always had problems with extra fat and cellulite above knees. What procedure is best to tackle this? I have been self-conscious wearing skirts and shorts since my 20s. I also have loose skin/fat pouches on inner thighs, which, with age, I am becoming more concerned over. Any advice and tips would be appreciated.

Hello; if it necessary to make comparison about correcting for cellulite and skin laxity in such a kind of thin people; it is more difficult than for fat people. The problem cannot be solved by taking fat. It is needed for increasing skin firmness and elasticity. For this, Renuvion J Plasma or Bodytite methods can be used. Moreover, Morpheus 8, Thermage Body treatments will also be so helpful.

There’s absolutely no loose skin or cellulite on your thighs. There’s always presence of some loose skin around the knee area to allow for flexion of the joint. If you undergo any type of treatment using radio frequency, what’s called Skin tightening, you will have more damage done and have quite a bit more loose skin or cellulite As in result. Just leave a healthy lifestyle and keep your weight at a level. I hope this helps good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.

Hello,
If you want minimum scars, consider liposuction with Bodytite.
If you don't mind the scar, a thigh lift will give you the best possible outcome.
