Lipedema Surgery Before & After Case 111

This patient, a woman in her 50s, came to us for help with excess skin and stubborn fat on her upper arms. She expressed frustration about both the appearance and the physical heaviness in her arms, which did not improve despite dedicated efforts at weight loss and exercise. Her primary goal was to achieve a more defined arm contour that would help her feel comfortable and confident in short sleeves.

We performed a combination of 360-degree liposuction and an arm lift to address both the extra tissue and underlying lipedema. This approach allowed for the removal of fatty deposits and redundant skin, resulting in a smoother and more balanced arm profile. The procedure helped restore natural arm proportions, and the patient’s recovery was straightforward.

After surgery, she noticed significant improvement in arm shape and comfort. The physical changes made it easier for her to engage in daily activities and select clothes that suit her style. She told us her arms felt lighter and she appreciated being able to see the definition she had worked for.
