Liposuction of the kneecap area.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 1997 April
This paper discusses the basic concepts of the aesthetics of all kneecap areas looking for the proportions and comprehensive treatment by means of liposuction. I detected and described an anatomic trait that I find frequently among my clinical cases, which is that of there being a certain amount of unsightly adipose tissue along the medial region extending from the widest portion of the knee down to the protrusion of the calf muscles (gastrocnemius) and extending to the crest of the tibia. This is adipose tissue, which, when found, deforms the normal leg to a great extent, shaping it into a sort of straight column. This paper discusses ways to avoid any damage to the osteoarticular structures when liposuction is done in the kneecap area. Liposuction of the knee area is a simple but laborious technique. It is essential to be highly familiar with the anatomy of the knee and constantly bear in mind the aesthetic appearance being sought. This must be proportioned to the lower limb, since the correction of one area usually leads to a lack of balance in contour of the lower limbs.
