Liposuction Before & After Case 113

This patient, a 40-year-old woman, came to us hoping to improve the shape and comfort of her legs, abdomen, and flanks. She had been bothered by persistent areas of fat and the effects of lipedema, a chronic condition that can lead to disproportionate fat accumulation and discomfort. During our consultations, she expressed a clear goal: she wanted contouring that would help with both cosmetic appearance and daily well-being, but she did not want the larger scars associated with a tummy tuck.

We performed liposuction of the legs, abdomen, and flanks, using advanced techniques suitable for treating lipedema and for minimizing recovery time. The results you see here are three months after her final procedure. While she still has some excess skin on her abdomen, she did not wish to undergo further surgery for skin removal. Her overall silhouette shows improved balance and proportion, reflecting her desired outcomes.

Many patients seek out liposuction at our Atlanta office specifically for difficult-to-treat areas or conditions like lipedema. We emphasize open dialogue about expectations, risks, and achievable results during every consultation. We work together to develop a treatment plan that addresses both aesthetic goals and long-term health.

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, I draw from experience in emergency care and complex reconstruction to support each patient’s journey. My practice is focused on education, safety, and a respect for body positivity.
