Knee Lift in Miami
Ever caught yourself avoiding skirts, shorts, or that slinky summer dress—just because your knees don’t feel as confident as the rest of you? Say hello to Miami’s best‑kept secret: the Knee Lift at Plastic Surgery Boutique.
Whether it’s aging, weight loss, or simply life doing its thing, sagging skin around the knees can steal your swagger.
Dr. Sophie, a double‑board‑certified surgeon in Miami, is here to restore that youthful contour—so you can turn heads for all the right reasons.
What Is a Knee Lift?
A Knee Lift (or knee skin tightening/contouring), is a cosmetic solution designed to smooth and firm the area above your knees. Think of it as a mini-makeover that gives your legs a polished, toned finish.
Techniques may include laser, radiofrequency, ultrasound, or—when needed—the surgical removal of excess skin and fat.
Dr. Sophie customizes the approach to your goals, your skin’s elasticity, and your aesthetic vibe—whether that’s a subtle lift or a more sculpted finish.
Why People Choose a Knee Lift
Your knees shouldn’t hold you back from wearing what you want or moving with confidence. Patients seek knee lifts because they want:
- Smooth, firm skin that complements the rest of their legs.
- Relief from self-consciousness about sagging or loose knee skin.
- A rejuvenated, proportionate look after weight loss, aging, or genetics.
- Confidence to wear shorts, skirts, or dresses without hesitation.
A knee lift isn’t just cosmetic—it’s about feeling confident in every step you take.
Inside the Procedure
At Plastic Surgery Boutique, your Knee Lift experience is designed to feel as personal as it is transformative. It begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Sophie, where she takes the time to understand your concerns, your lifestyle, and the look you want to achieve.
Depending on your needs, the procedure can range from a minimally invasive tightening treatment to a more advanced surgical lift.
The best part? The procedure is surprisingly quick and comfortable. Most treatments take just one to two hours and are done under local anesthesia or light sedation, meaning you can return home the very same day to begin your recovery.
The Recovery after Knee Lift
Recovery after a knee lift is typically smooth and surprisingly manageable, especially with Dr. Sophie guiding you every step of the way. Here’s what you can expect during each phase of healing:
- First 1–2 Days: Mild swelling and slight discomfort are common, but easily managed with your personalized aftercare plan. A supportive compression wrap helps minimize swelling and keeps the area stable for optimal healing.
- First Week: The initial puffiness begins to fade. Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation and speed up recovery, though you’ll want to avoid deep bends or strenuous movements to protect the area.
- Weeks 2–4: Your routine starts returning to normal. Swelling continues to decrease, and your knees begin revealing a more refined, sculpted contour. Dr. Sophie and her team remain available for check-ins and any questions during this period.
- Long-Term: Over the next few months, your results continue to improve as collagen production works its magic, creating a smoother, firmer appearance. With good sun protection and a stable weight, your refreshed look can last for years.
Throughout the process, Dr. Sophie ensures you feel supported, informed, and confident, with personalized guidance designed to make your recovery as comfortable as your results are beautiful.
