Beautiful knees are not found on everybody, but having them can add tremendous elegance to your legs. 

For many women, undergoing knee liposuction is the key to getting sculpted and more slender legs. Knee liposuction is usually combined with treatment of the calves or inner thighs to make the newly contoured area more proportional.

Gorgeous knees are challenging to obtain through non-procedural means. That's because you may have a genetic predisposition to having more fat in these areas.

Knee Liposuction In Chicago

Knee liposuction is a massively overlooked procedure. Many do not realize that getting your knees done can benefit the body's whole appearance.

If left untreated, fat pockets can dramatically affect the appearance of your legs. Liposuction is a procedure that consists of a surgeon forming incisions on the treated area, preparing the fat for extraction, and then removing fat with a cannula.

To numb the area, a tumescent solution is injected into the fat to numb you during the extraction process.

The ideal candidates for liposuction are the following:

• Individuals that are at their healthy weight, with stubborn fat pockets around the knees
• Follow a generally healthy lifestyle and do not smoke
• Do not have arthritis in the knees
• Have elastic skin
• Are not taking medications that would interfere with the tumescent anesthesia

As we've mentioned before, patients must understand the just removing fat on the knees can cause the skin to sag above the knee. That being said, Chicago knee liposuction patients often also receive a knee lift for optimal results.

Recovery and Side Effects

Knee liposuction requires that you take plenty of time each day to relax and recovery. Rest is crucial since the body needs the conserved energy to repair tissues and adjust to the body's new contour after fat extraction.

Light daily activities are permitted after about a week, yet strenuous activities are prohibited for about a month.

Take care to not stand or sit for long periods. Regularly alternative between sitting and standing to reduce the amount of stress on your knees. 

Side effects of knee liposuction are usually the following:

• Swelling 
• Bruising
• Stiffness

If the procedure was incorrectly performed, patients might also suffer:

• Asymmetry of the knees
• Undesirable results
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Pain
• The need for a revision surgery
