Knees

Unwanted fat on the inner knees can be caused by factors including genetics, aging, or an unbalanced diet.
While diet, exercise, and weight loss are beneficial, they may not always effectively target the fat located on the inner knees.
Vaser liposuction is a cosmetic surgery option designed to target and remove excess fat from the inner knee area.

What Causes Inner Knee Fat?

Several factors can lead to fat accumulating on the inner knees, including:

Genetics: Your genetic makeup can influence where your body stores fat, and the knee area is no exception.

Aging: Fat distribution can shift as you age, sometimes leading to more noticeable fat in specific areas, such as the knees.

Diet and Lifestyle: A lack of physical activity and an unbalanced diet can contribute to overall body fat, including in the inner knees.

How to Get Rid of Inner Knee Fat

Reducing fat in the inner knee area can be difficult, even with a healthy lifestyle that includes balanced eating and regular exercise. While these habits are important for managing body fat overall, they may not specifically reduce fat in the inner knee. For individuals who struggle with stubborn fat in this area, Vaser liposuction may be an option to consider.

About Inner Knee Liposuction

Inner knee liposuction is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess fat from the inside of the knee using Vaser liposuction. This method employs ultrasound technology to break down fat, which is then removed through suction. Patients interested in addressing other areas of the legs, such as the thighs or calves, can discuss these options with their doctor during a consultation to see if they are suitable for treatment. These additional areas may include thigh liposuction and calf/ankle liposuction.

Can diet and exercise reduce knee fat?

While a balanced diet and regular exercise are essential for overall health and can help in reducing body fat, targeting inner knee fat through these means alone can be challenging. The knee area is particularly stubborn and may not respond as effectively to general weight loss methods.

Is liposuction safe for removing knee fat?

While it is generally considered safe, potential complications include infection, swelling, bruising, scarring, and changes in skin sensation, such as numbness or tingling. There is also a risk of asymmetry or uneven results, fluid accumulation, and, in rare cases, blood clots or adverse reactions to anaesthesia. It’s essential to have this procedure performed by a qualified and experienced professional who can assess your overall health and medical history and discuss all potential risks with you to ensure a well-informed decision.

Who is a good candidate for inner knee liposuction?

Good candidates for inner knee liposuction are generally those in overall good health, who have stubborn fat deposits on the inside portion of their knees that has not responded to diet and exercise. Individuals need to have realistic expectations and discuss their specific situation and goals with a healthcare professional to assess their suitability for the procedure.

What are non-surgical options for addressing knee fat?

For those seeking non-surgical alternatives, treatments like CoolSculpting can be considered. These procedures offer a no-surgery option to reduce fat cells in targeted areas, including the knees. It is important to note the results may not be as immediate or noticeable compared to surgical methods like liposuction.
