PROCEDURE DETAILS
This patient came to us with pain, swelling, and decreased mobility caused by the severity of her Lipedema. Her treatment plan developed by Dr. Jaime Schwartz includes a series of Lymphatic Sparing Liposuction and Manual Lipedema Extraction ™ treatments in addition to long-term compression and Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massages to combat the Lipedematous fat and improve mobility and lymphatic flow. This patient’s severe pain was caused by oversized lipedema nodules found underneath the skin. These nodules were extracted during surgery using the manual extraction technique. This photo was taken after her 1st phase of treatment, which targeted the back of her legs. Notice the reduction of Lipedema fat in the back of her thighs after one surgery!

PROCEDURE DETAILS
This patient came to us with stage four lipo-lymphedema, which is lipedema and lymphedema combined. She suffered from the painful symptoms associated with this condition for decades before receiving a diagnosis and seeking a lipedema expert for treatment. The onset of her lipedema began in her lower extremities and progressively spread to her stomach and arms.

This painful fat disorder (Lipedema) caused her stomach to develop fibrotic tissue that became worse and more symptomatic over time, ultimately creating heavy folds of skin that interfere with daily activities. Dr. Schwartz opted to perform a tummy tuck for lipedema to address the painful tissue and remove the heavy folds of skin. This procedure is a comprehensive approach that includes liposuction to remove the lipedema fat in the affected area, plus Manual Lipedema Extraction™ to manually extract the oversized firm nodules beneath the skin. Lastly, Dr. Schwartz removed 24 inches of skin from the patient’s abdomen. This procedure alleviates the pressure on the patient’s lipedema affected legs as well and will decrease inflammation in her lower extremities. These photos are taken at 6 months post-op, and is pain-free in her abdomen, and has resumed normal activities.

PROCEDURE DETAILS
This patient came to us in the advanced stages of lipedema, a condition where excess fat accumulates in the lower body and forms painful nodules. Lipedema does not respond to diet and exercise leaving surgical intervention as the only treatment. Prior to seeing us, this patient had received multiple misdiagnoses from specialists unfamiliar with the unique condition. The onset of her lipedema originated in her lower extremities and progressively spread to her midsection. Because of the nodular nature of lipedemous fat, the stomach develops heavy folds of excess skin that hinder the patient’s day-to-day functionality. Dr. Schwartz performed a tummy tuck for lipedema to target this patient’s specific needs. As a lipedema specialist, Dr. Schartz developed Manual Lipedema Extraction™, a comprehensive approach that fuses traditional liposuction with manual extraction of the nodules that are too large to be picked up by the liposuction cannula. These photos are taken at 6 months post-op, and is pain-free in her abdomen, and has resumed normal activities.
