Liposuction is a plastic surgery procedure that removes fat deposits from underneath the skin. This procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia inside a surgery center, doctor's office or a hospital depending on the patient's medical history. Some statistics state that it is safer to perform liposuction in the doctor's office than in a hospital because multiple procedures are performed at a hospital. In the doctor's office they have all of the proper equipment, data and experienced professionals for a liposuction procedure. Liposuction can be performed by a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist but they do not have to have any specialized training. Each professional has different experience; therefore they must have a proven track record of successful surgeries to prove their abilities to new patients considering liposuction.
Knee liposuction is usually performed in conjunction with treating the inner thigh. There is a line that flows between the inner thigh and the calf, therefore if the knee fat bulges outward it will interfere the line and it will be difficult to have success with the procedure without performing some work on the knees. Knee lipo is not a difficult procedure, very straight forward. After performing knee liposuction many patients are able to wear skirts and shorts without feeling self conscious. Many patients seem to be pleased with the results.
The only complication that may go alone with knee liposuction is stiffness in the knee for about four to six weeks after the procedure. Usually patients have to wear a knee wrap or brace for a week until the swelling goes down or until they are comfortable walking without one. If the patient does exercise regularly they can resume their routine about three weeks after the procedure. Recovery times vary between patients; therefore they should use a wheelchair or a cane for the first couple of days after the procedure.
