Knee liposuction - am I a good candidate? (Photo)

Question

Hi there, how common / easy is it to have liposuction to the inner knee - both on the inside knee as well as on top of the knee cap?

Thank you for your question. Based on the picture you are a good candidate for inner knees and front knees liposuction.

Kind regards,

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.

From the submitted photo you appear to be a candidate for liposuction.  The best place to begin is to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon near you.  You can talk about your goals for surgery and learn more about what to expect.  I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

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.

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.

Thigh and knee region fatting can be a very disturbing situation for mainly women and may cause unconfident feeling when wearing skirts or tight clothing. The fat tissue over and around the knees obscure the knee cap, which is an anatomically feminine and attractive structure when defined. The inner thighs also van be a problematic area in means of excessive fatting and can be thinned with delicate-work liposuction. So, considering the picture above, a thigh and knee liposhaping will enhane the appearance and will form a slimmer and attractive appearance.I hope I could answer your question.
