What's the best way to get rid of knee fat?

December 16, 2017
Asked By:jaynnedoe in Portland, OR

I have stubborn fat around my knees, mostly in the inner side (and it is fat, not loose skin). I got a CoolSculpting consultation from the same clinic that is doing my laser hair removal, but my knees and thighs are not a good candidate because there's not really any "bulge" areas. Are there any non or minimally invasive procedures that could treat this? If not, what surgical procedure is recommended?
