No: Liposuction of any type does not remove hanging skin.

Fat not skin: Liposuction can reduce localized fatty deposits on nearly any subcutaneous fatty deposit although there may be risks in certain areas and water jet is not generally performed on the face. Certainly localized fat around the knee, but not on the knee cap, can be reduced. However this will not treat handling skin only reduce prominent bulges.
