Hello.In my opinion looking at your pic you are a good candidate for liposuction of knee both anterior and inner aspect.Vaser liposuction will be more effective in this area and will help in skin tightening.Hope I have cleared your doubt.Thanks for posting.Wishing a healthy life.

Dear Affectionate11592,
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.

Hi there

Knee liposuction is common and although a little more tricky the results are generally good.  Your surgeon just needs to ensure that the contour is due to fat and not to other issues that can occur with the Knees such as large bursae, arthritis and synovial hypertrophy. The fat can be more fibrous around the knees and so it is sometimes a little more difficult to get much out.

Thanks

Good luck.
