We occasionally see patients who are bothered by fat pads along their medial knees. These fat pads sit directly on top of a boney prominence known as the medial condyle. Unfortunately, these fat pads can be extremely noticeable when women wear shorts and above the knee skirts. For this reason, women are frequently motivated to address this problem.When this problem occurs, treatment options are limited. In most cases, liposuction is the best available option. This procedure needs to be approached with caution to avoid the development of skin sag in the medial thigh area. If knee skin sag does develop, surgical excision of excess skin will be necessary as well.If you're concerned about knee fat pads, it's appropriate to consult a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this area. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic deformity and achieves your aesthetic goals.
