My knees are very droopy with large indentations. It has been suggested that I get liposuction on the medial knees and fat grafting in the indentations. Will this work? I’m concerned about it looking worse, or there being a long recovery time. I don’t see any leg/ knee photos for fat grafting- mostly face. I have seen multiple plastic surgeons about my legs over the past 7 years. I’ve had VelaShape II and Thermage - neither were very effective. Thank you for your advice!
