3 Different Ways To Solve Saggy Knees

As we age, wrinkles become a more apparent problem in our aesthetics. What's generally familiar is the formation of wrinkles on the face, but you'd also be surprised about the appearance of wrinkles around your knees.

Here are some options that you can consider to change the appearance of your aged knees:

Non-Surgical Knee Tightening

If you've ever tried a skin-tightening treatment and haven't experienced much improvement, it's recommended that you visit your doctor to get some ideas for solutions.

Patients have seen great results when using fillers on the loose skin surrounding their knees. Dermal fillers in the area are temporary, generally lasting about a year or two, but these treatments are optimal for those with subtle to moderately wrinkled skin around their knees.

Ultherapy is a treatment that uses ultrasound tech to promote collagen generation within the skin's deep layers, which helps tighten the area.

Usually, about three treatments with Ultherapy are necessary to see optimal results.

Surgical Knee Skin Tightening

Patients with a large amount of sagging skin should consider undergoing a surgical thigh lift. A thigh lift removes the excess skin from the thighs and knees via excision.

The main downside behind this procedure is that it can leave a visible scar, given the invasive techniques and properties of the surgery.

Knee Liposuction

Knee liposuction is a procedure that can be done under a local anesthetic to remove excess fat from around the knees that give them a shaggy appearance.

It's important to note that liposuction is only applicable to sagging knees when the root cause is excess fat. Liposuction is not a procedure that's designed to treat loose skin, which is why it can be coupled with treatments such as Ultherapy or lifting techniques to give you the best overall results.

Nonetheless, liposuction is a procedure that's not void of causing scarring, and the recovery time can be generally extensive.
