Lipedema Surgery Before & After Case 110

Many patients with stage three lipedema struggle with both physical discomfort and changes in body contour that can affect their confidence and mobility. This patient explored several treatment options before electing to proceed with surgical intervention. Her main goal was to address the persistent swelling and disproportion in her lower body, as well as the excess skin that remained after substantial fat removal.

We performed ultra high-volume liposuction procedures in two separate stages to specifically target and remove the lipedema tissue. After allowing time for recovery, we addressed the laxity that developed by performing a thigh lift, calf lift and knee lift. These procedures helped to remove the extra skin and improve overall leg shape.

Her results after her Thigh Lift are notable for the transformation in profile and the restored balance to her body silhouette. The functional improvement has made daily movements more comfortable, and the visual difference is clear in the images above. Recovery demands careful follow-up, but we worked with her throughout the process to ensure her safety and satisfaction.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I want every individual to understand their options. With my background in emergency care and reconstructive training, I focus on safety and clear communication at every step. We use proven surgical techniques to help patients like this achieve lasting results from their Thigh Lift in our Atlanta office.
