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

Liposuction around the knees is a very common procedure. If a thorough physical examination shows increased subcutaneous fat, then it can be improved with liposuction, often combined with ultrasonic or Vaser liposuction. Scar revision in this are is also possible, but may need to be performed as a second or separate procedure.

liposuction can work very well on the inner knee but one must be cautious above the knee where the thigh runs into the knee. In this area, liposuction can thin out the hanging thick dermis and epidermis and loss of the infrastructure can cause the lower thigh to fall. Usually there isn't much if any fat there. There is a chance that you might get a little improvement from Thermage but it is doubtful and it can be an expensive treatment.

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.
