“Knee Lifts” are the latest and dumbest trend of Hollywood plastic surgery.
According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter, actresses are heading to their favorite plastic surgeon in order to get knee lifts in order to get rid of “knee wrinkles” also known as “kninkles”.
Catherine Zeta-Jones, Cher and Sharon Stone have been called out for “kninkles,” or knee wrinkles — and Demi Moore is rumored to have had an $8,000 knee-lift in 2012 to firm and smooth saggy knees.
Apparently, actresses are less likely to land a movie role if they have bad knee caps. Unlike other body parts, our knee caps are subject to discoloration by sun damage, fat deposits, and dimpling which is a no-no in Hollywood.
Demi Moore was rumored to have had done a few years ago. Moore’s alleged knee lift caused quite a frenzy at the time, but Roth says the surgery is still pretty rare, mostly because the risk of scarring is so high.
Here’s the typical treatment for kninkles.
“UltraShape harnesses acoustic waves of energy that hit fat under the skin in short pulses.” The device doesn’t even touch your knee. The pulses break down fat deposits — a result of laissez-faire diet and exercise — which then are metabolized ($900 to $1,200 a treatment; usually three are needed). Other less invasive options include Vanquish, which uses hot and cold RF waves to dissolve fat in four sessions ($400 to $600 each), and VelaShape III, which melts fat quicker using infrared, RF and massage rollers ($200 to $600 a treatment; three to six do the trick).
If you are worried about your knee caps then, we suggest you start working out those little patellas of yours. According to Everyday Health, here’s how you can save your knee caps from being the topic of the week on TMZ.
Saggy-looking knees are a common complaint among women, especially with age. Loss of collagen can cause the skin to loosen and droop, making legs appear wrinkled and old. Moisturizer and regular exercise can help maintain elasticity, but a few people are seeking out a more extreme option: knee-lift surgery, a procedure that actress Demi Moore was rumored to have had done a few years ago.
But, if you are interested in the cosmetic procedure you better start saving up. It costs approximately $9,000 to get both knees lifted.
