Excess fat in areas like the knee are difficult to address with just diet and exercise. Knee liposuction in NYC using the FDA- approved Smartlipo Triplex device is the best way to get rid of knee fat. The procedure removes stubborn fat and precisely contours the knee area, providing greater definition to the knee cap, front structures of the knee, lower fibula area, and calves. This safe, minimally invasive procedure can provide you with shapely and attractive knees.
However, many patients are found to have concerns about the safety of Smartlipo for knee liposuction. Leading plastic surgeons say that the knee area responds very well to Smartlipo and is safe when performed by an expert that specializes in this laser liposuction procedure. The surgeon’s skill is a very important factor because the back of the knee has very important blood vessels and any injury can have disastrous consequences.
How is Smartlipo Knee Liposuction performed?
The laser-assisted Smartlipo Triplex device combines multiple laser wavelengths (1440, 1064 and 1320 nm) into one laser output to provide superior results. Laser energy is delivered to target the treatment site and liquefy the unwanted fat tissues so that they can be suctioned out smoothly. Laser lipolysis also tightens the loose skin, providing improved outcomes. This laser workstation also features intelligent delivery systems – SmartSense, ThermaGuide and ThermaView – that prevent overheating and minimize the risk of injury or trauma to the skin. This treatment can provide you with shapely knees – with minimal pain, downtime, and scars.
The procedure needs only local anesthesia and patients remain awake during the treatment. Postoperative discomfort is minimal compared to traditional liposuction surgery. Recovery is also faster and patients can resume work in a few days’ time.
Tips to Recover from Knee Liposuction
Managing the recovery phase well is important to experience optimal results.
Here are some tips for a smooth recovery:
- Taking sufficient rest; keeping your legs raised on a pillow for a few days will help reduce postoperative
- To avoid risk of infections, change the bandages regularly and keep the area dry.
- Lightly massaging the lower legs a few times a day for a few minutes from ankle towards the knee will improve blood and lymphatic circulation in the area.
- Exercise the lower legs lightly every day, but avoid bending the knees, running, or strenuous lower body exercises for at least three weeks.
- Take your medications as instructed by your surgeon.
- Keep yourself hydrated and eat a balanced diet to support healing.
- Make sure to maintain a healthy lifestyle to retain the results of the procedure.
Who is the Right Candidate?
Men and women with considerable fullness in the knee area are good candidates for this procedure. They should be close to their ideal weight and in good health. Having realistic expectations about the results of Smartlipo laser liposuction is vital. While the procedure can significantly improve the appearance of the knees, it is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle.
In certain cases, combining knee liposuction with thigh liposuction may be advised to improve the outcome. Successful treatment will result in toned, tighter skin around the knee area with barely visible scarring, allowing you to confidently wear shorts and other leg-revealing clothes.
Smartlipo is considered a safe and effective option for knee liposuction, particularly when performed by a qualified and experienced specialist. The minimally invasive nature of the procedure, combined with its ability to provide precise fat removal and skin tightening, makes it a popular choice for those looking to improve the appearance of their knees. If you are considering knee liposuction in NYC, choosing the right surgeon is important for customized treatment that aligns with your goals and needs.
