Knee liposuction

What are the steps of a knee liposuction?

Before the procedure

As with any other procedure, it is essential to meet with the surgeon in order to define the desired results together. Before a knee liposuction, it will also be necessary to carry out a pre-operative assessment. The pre-operative check-up will help to highlight any possible contraindications to the surgery (illness, history of phlebitis, risks to healing, etc.).

The procedure

Knee liposuction procedure allows for the refinement of the inner aspect of the knees by removing deep fatty excesses. The procedure is performed with extremely fine cannulas inserted through thin incisions most often made in the natural folds of the skin. Knee liposuction lasts between 30 and 45 minutes. The incisions are closed with absorbable thread and protected with a bandage.

Post-operative care

After the procedure, the patient is asked to wear a support panty to limit the formation of edema. Pain after a liposuction is mild to moderate. Painkillers may be offered to relieve them.
