Liposuction Before & After Case 322

The before photos show notable fullness along the upper arms, consistent with lipedema tissue accumulation. In the after photos, the arms appear visibly slimmer, with a smoother contour from the shoulder through the elbow.

This patient underwent arm liposuction as part of a comprehensive, two-stage surgical plan to address lipedema affecting her entire body. The arm procedure was performed during her second surgery, at the same time as an abdominoplasty. The goal was removal of lipedema tissue from the arms, which had contributed to the disproportionate fullness visible in the before images.

For anyone researching liposuction in Atlanta, this case illustrates how lipedema-focused liposuction can be approached as part of a staged, full-body treatment plan when the condition affects multiple areas. Lipedema is a chronic condition characterized by abnormal fat accumulation, and surgical intervention is one option for managing its physical presentation.

Thomas M. Hagopian MD performed this procedure as part of his work in lipedema surgery. Dr. Hagopian is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and practices in Atlanta.
