Knees/Ankles Liposuction

What Is Knees/Ankles Lipo?

A knee or ankle liposuction removes excess fat from these regions, enhancing the contours of your lower legs.

Lumpy knees can easily ruin the aesthetics of your well-toned legs, but liposuction can eliminate their swollen appearance. The procedure can also reduce the size of thick ankles to create more balance.

With the tumescent technique, knees/ankles lipo can achieve lasting results. The minimally invasive technique guarantees faster healing and less downtime.
