Can you tell me if knee liposuction is safe?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, if precise: Liposuction of the knee, particularly the inner knee can be very satisfying. Generally around 50ml of fat is removed. This area does require skill and care.

Lipo candidate -Yes: A young person with a normal body mass index (bmi) with small areas of excess fat is usually an ideal candidate for liposuction. See your local plastic/cosmetic surgeon and he/she will be able to help you out.
