What is Inner Knee Fat?
Inner knee fat refers to the fat that can sit on the inside of the knee. While fat may be distributed above or around the knee, surgical fat removal is generally only considered for the inner knee area.
What Causes Inner Knee Fat?
A few factors can contribute to the appearance of fat around the inner knees:
-
Genetics: Some people naturally store more fat in certain areas, including the knees.
-
Aging: Changes in fat distribution over time can make deposits in the knee area more noticeable.
-
Diet and Lifestyle: Overall body size, influenced by nutrition and physical activity, may also play a role.
How to Reduce Inner Knee Fat
Healthy lifestyle measures, including balanced eating and regular exercise, can help manage overall body fat. However, these approaches may not specifically reduce fat in the inner knee area. For some individuals, surgical options may be discussed in consultation as part of a personalised plan.
About Inner Knee Liposuction
Inner knee liposuction is a cosmetic surgery option performed by registered medical practitioners in accredited facilities. Fat is removed from the inside of the knee through a surgical process.
During your consultation, your practitioner will review your medical history, discuss your objectives, and explain the potential risks, recovery, and alternatives. Outcomes vary between individuals, and no result can be guaranteed. Additional areas such as the thighs, calves, or ankles may also be discussed if relevant to your concerns.
