Best treatment for fatty knees? (photos)

Question

I have always felt self conscience about my knees. The tops of my knees have a pocket of fat that won’t go away, even though I’m a healthy weight. What would be the best treatment option for me to reduce the fat?

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

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!

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

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.
