How effective is knee liposuction? (Photos)

Knee liposuction can reduce the inner knee fat pad.  If you have already had lipo there, then there would probably be scar tissue in the area, making it more difficult to remove the fat, but still should be possible.  The key is your skin elasticity.  If it is fairly good, then your skin will redrape over the trimmed down area and look good.  If your skin was pretty loss with poor elasticity, then you might see some slight skin ripples.  With such a small area, knee liposuction is not difficult to go through under local anesthesia.

Knee lipo sculpting is rewarding for the inner knee and when significant fat quantity is in the area.  An exam with an experienced lipo focused plastic surgeon is necessary to make the next decision.  

An exam is always helpful, but liposuction can help with the local contours. Irregularities as a result of your previous knee liposuction will be difficult to correct.  Fat transfer with very small facial cannulae and small volume injections will give you the best chance for correction.  This area is more prone to contour irregularity after liposuction, and as such liposuction should be limited.  You also do not want to have an issue with falling skin.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
