Liposuction on the knees is a procedure that can cause problems if the doctor isn't a highly accredited professional. I believe that if the surgery isn't performed properly that it can cause cartilage damage in the knee joints. Not only is this a risk, but nerve damage and fluid accumulation or fluid loss can also cause serious health problems.

Bone articulate at joints. There are several kinds of joints. The most flexible are the synovial joints, such as the knee and elbow.

This is just like oil in a door hinge to keep it running smoothly. The bursa is a bag that surrounds the joint. It's job is to hold the fluid in the joint.
