Lipedema Surgery Before & After Case 196

Many women living with lipedema struggle with symptoms that affect their daily lives and self-image. Our patient, a light-skinned Hispanic woman, sought Lipedema Surgery in Atlanta to address persistent pain and swelling in her legs. She shared that her legs felt heavy during activity and appeared disproportionate to her body, even though she maintained a very active lifestyle and enjoyed social events. Her goals included both relief from these symptoms and an improved, more proportional leg contour.

We performed power-assisted liposuction to treat her lipedema, followed by a medial and vertical thigh lift to further refine her results. The procedures aimed to reduce excess tissue, smooth the thighs, and restore a sense of comfort in her own skin. Recovery proceeded as expected. The patient followed postoperative protocols closely, and at her follow-up visits, reported significant reduction in leg heaviness and discomfort. She noted feeling more at ease with her silhouette and noticed increased freedom during her favorite activities.
