If you have a problem with excess fat around your knee area, you may want to consider laser liposuction. Everyone accumulates fat in their legs, but for some it may be somewhat of a problem. Laser liposuction will give you a more contoured look, firmer legs and knees and you will not have to endure the longer lasting side effects with traditional liposuction which include blood loss, swelling, and a long recovery. It is a procedure that takes about an hour or so and you will be able to notice the difference immediately afterwards. You will be able to see your knee joint but not the fat that was directly above it.
The procedure is a simple one. Here is how it works. The physician will numb up the area with a local anesthetic. He will then use the laser to melt the fat up underneath the skin. He then will make tiny incisions in the skin where he will insert a tube or cannula (as small as a cooked spaghetti noodle). He will begin the suctioning process. Since the tube is so small, he will use gentle movements to suction out the fat, lessening your chance of having swollen, bruised knees. You will also experience much less pain. You may be given a compression garment to use should you experience pain afterwards. Overall, it is a very safe and fast procedure. Patients are able to stand up and walk afterwards. Their recovery time is small, usually getting back to activities and work within one to two days. The risk of blood loss is minimal also, since it is a minimally invasive procedure.
Having this procedure done is a gratifying way to feel confident again. Consult your doctor and be sure to ask if he has any before and after photos that you can take a look at. Your doctor will be glad to show you these and to answer any questions you may have. The results are stunning. The swelling and bruising is minimal. Patients will begin to see an improvement in their skin tone around their knees as quickly as three to four weeks, while lasting results can be seen within six months after the procedure. The laser liposuction procedure is a great way to sculpt your knees you will look flattering in your clothes and shorts once again.
