What is Knee Liposuction?
Knee liposuction is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that removes small deposits of excess fat around the inner or outer knees. Using local tumescent anesthesia with mild sedation, our surgeon creates tiny openings to gently remove fat with a power-assisted liposuction (PAL) technique.
This targeted procedure can make your legs appear slimmer and more defined, especially when combined with thigh or calf liposuction for full leg contouring.
Why Consider Knee Liposuction?
Fat around the knees can be frustrating because it often doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. This area can affect how your legs look in shorts, skirts, or fitted clothing and may even change how confident you feel in your favorite outfits.
Knee liposuction helps by:
- =Removing stubborn fat deposits that don’t shrink with weight loss
- =Creating a more streamlined and symmetrical leg contour
- =Improving the definition between the thighs and lower legs
- =Enhancing your confidence in athletic or fitted clothing
Patients who undergo this treatment often say their legs appear longer, more toned, and balanced with the rest of their body.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Knee Liposuction?
The best candidates for knee liposuction are healthy individuals close to their goal weight who have localized fat around the inner or outer knees. Ideal candidates:
- =Have firm skin with good elasticity
- =Struggle with fat deposits that don’t improve through exercise
- =Want to refine leg shape for better proportion
- =Have realistic expectations about the results
During your consultation at GLOW Surgical Arts, our cosmetic surgeon will determine whether you’re a good fit and discuss your personalized treatment plan.
