Lipedema Surgery Before & After Case 245

Many women with lipedema seek relief from uncomfortable swelling, heaviness and changes in body shape that can affect daily life. Our patient came to us for a Thigh Lift in Atlanta after noticing persistent fullness in her thighs and lower legs that would not improve with diet or exercise. She described feeling both physical pain and frustration with clothing fit, leading her to explore surgical treatment.

During her consultation, we discussed several options and decided on a combined approach: thigh lift, knee lift, and calf lift with targeted liposuction. This plan would allow us to address excess tissue while also improving the overall contour of the legs. Our patient expressed hope for greater comfort and ease in movement, as well as improved confidence in her appearance.

The procedure was performed in Atlanta using advanced lipedema surgery techniques to minimize discomfort and shorten recovery time. Postoperative care focused on supporting healing and managing swelling. Over the weeks following surgery, our patient experienced noticeable relief from heaviness and became much more comfortable in her daily activities.
