Is It Possible to Have Lipo on Top of the Knee and Have a Deep Scar Removed at Same Time?

Fat on the inner aspect of the knee can be reduced with carefully performed liposuction. The areas above and below the knee cap are sometimes full, but these areas are rarely responsive to liposuction, because fat is rarely the cause. Fullness in these areas is often from bursa sacs. These are specialized subcutaneous structures designed to protect the skin from the bone underneath, and they are only removed if they become infected or diseased, and all other treatments have failed. Cosmetic removal, would require significant scars and may lead to prolonged swelling causing continued fullness anyway.

You can improve the appearance of the knee area with liposuction if there is fat there to treat. The areas I often address with liposuction include the inner aspect and top part of the knee. Unfortunately, despite the hype that we all read, there is not a reliable skin tightening device to help with loose skin. We are working on it !
