Our patient, a 46-year-old woman, came to us with persistent swelling and discomfort in her legs. She had previously struggled with lipedema, a chronic condition causing disproportionate fat deposits in the lower body. This condition affected her mobility and quality of life, despite her efforts through diet and exercise. She elected to pursue comprehensive treatment to help address both the physical symptoms and the impact on her everyday activities.
We performed Lipedema Surgery, focusing first on targeted liposuction of her legs. In this step, we removed over 10 liters of excess fat, which helped reduce her discomfort and improved her leg contour. Following significant volume reduction, she developed loose, excess skin. To provide a smoother and more functional shape, we then performed a thigh lift as well as a knee lift, carefully removing the redundant tissue and supporting improved leg silhouette.
Throughout her journey, we prioritized a thorough explanation of the procedures and expected outcomes. Our conversations focused on long-term benefits, potential risks, and realistic recovery timelines. She reported increased confidence and found it easier to move about daily, noting significant relief from the heaviness that once affected her legs.
In our Atlanta practice, we treat every patient as an individual. My background in emergency services informs my approach to safety, communication, and patient care. At our practice, I strive to incorporate advanced techniques, like lipedema surgery and minimally invasive procedures, to help patients regain mobility and confidence in a supportive environment.
