Lipedema Surgery Before & After Case 237
Provider: Thomas M. Hagopian MD
Procedures Performed Lipedema Surgery
Patient Age 57
Patient Gender Female
Race White
Many patients with lipedema seek relief from chronic pain, swelling and the emotional burden of this condition. Our patient chose Lipedema Surgery in Atlanta after years of persistent symptoms that affected her daily life. She reported heaviness and tenderness in her legs, which didn’t improve with diet or exercise.
We used a combination of VASER and liposuction techniques to target affected areas. This approach helped to remove excess fatty tissue while aiming to minimize trauma to surrounding tissues. The procedure went smoothly and the patient’s recovery was typical. She noticed gradual improvement in leg contour and shape over the following weeks.
The main outcome for our patient was relief from her lipedema symptoms. She experienced reduced pain and swelling and regained confidence in her daily movement. We closely monitored her healing process, offering education on aftercare and encouraging open communication throughout.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Atlanta, I focus on personalized care for each patient. My background as a paramedic and firefighter influences my commitment to patient safety and education. We continue to advocate for body positivity and evidence-based treatment for patients considering Lipedema Surgery.
