Best treatment for fatty knees? (photos)

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Liposuction will adequately treat this area and remove the unwanted fat.

It is possible to do fine contouring of knees, lower medial thighs and medial aspect of legs with small cannula. However, it requires significant expertise of the surgeon. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with known expertise in fine liposuction is recommended. Good luck.

Thanks for your question! I think that CoolSculpting might be a viable option for you. A petite applicator could cover that area quite nicely. I would suggest seeking an in-person consultation in your area for further evaluation. Good luck!

Dear Thriving683452,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

If it is actual fat, then liposuction can remove the excess. If it is also excess skin, you could add minimally invasive radiofrequency to help tighten skin.

Hello, thanks for your question and pic. You have a small amount of fat in the area. There are several options to eliminate it, and the final choice depends on a physical exam, personal goals, and preferences. You can have a Lipo in the area to get the results you want. Or you can have less invasive treatments such as CoolSculpting. Consult a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck!

The contour around any joint is highly dependent on the joint position.
With your legs fully extended there is skin redundancy above your knee which represents primarily bunched up loose skin.
With your knee fully flexed you’ll see that the contour changes drastically.
Liposuction does not address skin laxity or bunched up skin in certain anatomic positions. The contour you are referring to is not related to access subcutaneous fat but simply happens when your leg is fully extended.
The single area that can be treated well with Liposuction is the Internet or medial aspect of the knee.
Liposuction does not treat other areas around the knee that form only with your leg extended.
Best,

Hi. This is a problem of stubborn fat deposits. You can get embrace RF Lipolysis. Since the deposits are small you will not require liposuction.
This is semi invasive treatment under local anaesthesia. Other option is chemical Lipolysis.
