Asked By:ANDREA B in Chile, Southamerica

Hi: I am going to have a liposuction for my legs in February. But i am conserned that the knee part will not improve very much. My doctor said its not a good idea to lipo the knee. But uynfortunantly this is one of the parts i really want to improve. So i can use a nice skirt. Also im concerned about the loose skin.. can thread lift for the legs work? Any recomendation of where to see pictures of this odd procedure? I havent been able to fin any. Thank you

Answer: Leg thread lift is a terrible idea; (medial) knee lipo works great, but not over the knee itself!
