Abstract
In this paper, we report our experience and describe the technique of lipos uction under tourniquet. This technique facilitates liposuction in the knee cap area and makes it bloodless. The approach described is effective and ne cessitates a relatively brief intraoperative and postoperative period, with inherently less morbidity. We obtained satisfactory results using this sim ple procedure.
