Knee Liposuction in Long Island

How Knee Liposuction Works

Knee liposuction targets fat deposits around the knees to create a more streamlined and sculpted leg appearance. This procedure is designed for those with localized fat that doesn’t improve with conventional methods.

• Targeted Fat Removal: I focus on removing excess fat around the knees to enhance the contour of your legs and create a smoother appearance.
• Precision Contouring: Using liposuction, we can sculpt the knee area to achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing leg shape.
• Small Incisions: The procedure involves making small incisions in discreet locations around the knee to minimize scarring while effectively removing fat.

By removing fat from the knee area, we can significantly enhance the overall look of your legs, leading to a more defined and elegant appearance.

What Happens During the Procedure

Knee liposuction typically takes 1-2 hours, depending on the amount of fat being removed. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:

Preparation involves administering anesthesia to ensure your comfort. This may include local anesthesia combined with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the liposuction.

Small incisions are made around the knee in discreet locations. These incisions are carefully placed to minimize visible scarring and provide access to the fat deposits.

Using a cannula, I gently break up and suction out the excess fat from the knee area. The cannula is a thin, flexible tube that allows for precise fat removal. I use controlled movements to ensure an even and smooth result.

Throughout the procedure, I continuously monitor the results to ensure the fat is being removed evenly and the contours of your knees are being sculpted as planned.

What to Expect After the Procedure

Recovery from knee liposuction involves managing swelling and bruising, but following my post-operative care instructions will aid in a smooth recovery.

• Initial Recovery: You may experience discomfort and swelling around the treated area. Wearing a compression garment will support your knees and help reduce swelling. You’ll start to see improvements as the swelling subsides over the following weeks.
• Returning to Normal Activities: Most patients can return to light activities within a week. It’s important to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for several weeks to ensure proper healing. Full results, including a more defined knee contour, will be visible as healing progresses over the next few months.

Following the recovery guidelines is crucial for achieving the best results and ensuring a smooth healing process.
