Is It Possible To Have Liposuction Done to the Fat Around the Knee Caps? (Photo)

Kastle
I am 28, female, 125lbs, 5'7. I have very stubborn fat in my knees (above knee cap and on one side) and thighs. My figure is very unbalanced. I have spent much of my childhood being teased for this. As an adult I constantly hide my knees. Also, I have been on birth control for 10 years that has 30mcg estrogen, and am now changing to a pill that has 20mcg. Could liposuction meaningfully change the shape of my legs? What type of liposuction would be best, and what kind of recovery should i expect?
