Getting Knobby Knees Smoothened – Is It Worth It?

Actress Demi Moore had a hate-hate relationship with her knees for a long time. While the rest of her body was properly taken care of (allegedly by plastic surgery), the knees were a constant area of shame for this svelte beauty.

So she went ahead and had plastic surgery of the knees to get rid of the knobbed look. The £5,000 worth knee surgery gave her a set of knees that complement the rest of her perfect body.

Plastic surgeons however, have always cautioned patients against getting any cosmetic work done on this part of the human body. This is mainly because any incisions done in the knee area cannot be hidden behind any crevices. The knees probably have to be one of the most exposed parts of the human body.

The scars from any plastic surgery done in this area will be very visible and additional work like laser scar treatment or a chemical peel will not be very helpful. The plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California warn patients about this risk if they wish to have a cosmetic knee surgery procedure.

While the sagging of excess and wrinkled skin can be taken care of beautifully, what patients will be left with are scars that reveal the story behind the smooth-skinned knees.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, specialists in reconstructive plastic surgery are perfecting surgeries like these for patients who wish to be left with minimum reminders of their cosmetic procedure.
