Has anyone had their knees liposuctioned?
I recently went to my plastic surgeon for a consult on having a LBL (I'm post-op Bracioplasty and BL/BA 15 months). I have "saggy knees", and my plastic surgeon is suggesting he do some liposuction around the problem area while doing the LBL. This is the area of my legs that I am most self-conscience about and he doesn't feel as though I will be happy with just the LBL to correct the knee issue, but lipo will help. Has anyone had this done?
Thanks for your help.

I had lipo to my knees and thighs but I also had a vertical thighplasty afterwards. My lbl was first with a lot of lipo to those areas. A year later had the thighs done. I noticed a huge difference and although they still are the same yucky knees I don't like, they look much better. However - if you don't have an excission of that skin on your knees the lipo will only make it saggier. Unless your skin is very elastic and in good shape - which ours usually isn't - then it won't be the total answer.
Same here! I feel as though my scar on the arms are pretty intense, and I didn't want that full scar on my thighs too. I can live with the arm scars because I feel like it was a trade-off for the massive skin I had prior to surgery. I tried the silicone strips for 6 months on the arm scars, but it really didn't do much to lessen the reddness. I'm more then a year post-op and I figured they won't look great for another year. I did go for one laser session, but I felt like it was a waste of money. I guess time will tell. Thanks so much for the response, Pam.
