Need to know if these lumps on my inner knees and thighs are limpedema or just fat and cellulite. Can I get treatment or liposuction?
Answer: Liposuction Candidate - VASER HI DEF Lipo, ThermiRF/J Plasma/Renuvion/Inmode BodyTite skin tightening, fat grafting for buttock Sometimes lipomas need surgical removal, sometimes this is Lipedema and needs liposuction.You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. Traditional liposuction awake and smart liposuction are old methods and do very poorly for tightening skin or significant skin tightening or contouring. Small problem areas can be improved slightly by these methods. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heat the skin with radio-frequency devices such as J PLASMA/RENUVION, InMode BodyTite, ThermiRF to heat the under surface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HIDEF VASER contouring and can only be done by a well . trained body contouring specialist. At the same time fat should be harvested, PRP and stem cells added and injected into muscles or indentations/cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. This is known as a brazilian butt lift when you inject the fat to the buttock for contouring and lifting, but fat can also be used in areas such as the chest/breast, arms/shoulders, calves and face. Cellulite should also be treated with cellfina, sculptra, subcision and/or fillers such as bellafill, renuva synthetic fat, or sculptra. If skin is very loose before surgery then it will need to be removed such as lower abdominal skin (tummy tuck/abdominoplasty), breast skin (breast lift), arm skin (brachioplasty). Overall you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting.

Answer: Liposuction Options AnnetteHard to advise without photographs. The inner knees are a common problem area for many women and these well defined areas of fat can be greatly improved with liposuction. There is no realistic treatment for cellulite at this time and anyone who tells you that they can eliminate it is being less than honest. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area to explore the best options for you.

Answer: Lumps on knees, thighs Hi and welcome to our forum!Without photos or height / weight data, it is impossible to determine the cause of your problem.Lipomatosis is a condition in which multiple lipomas develop. It is usually a benign condition, but may also be associated with other disease such as Gardner syndrome, adiposis dolorosa, familial multiple lipomatosis, Madelung disease, and Cowden syndrome.To determine the nature of these growths and to treat them, I recommend an evaluation / examination by a board certified plastic surgeon.Best wishes...
