Dr. Mata's specialized liposuction for lipedema — VASER and power-assisted technologies to remove abnormal fat accumulation, ease pain, and improve mobility.
Lipedema Surgery at Natural Results Plastic Surgery is performed personally by Dr. Carlos Mata — board-certified plastic surgeon (ABPS/FACS), Castle Connolly Top Doctor since 2018, and Newsweek America's Best Plastic Surgeon — at the practice's AAAASF-accredited surgical suite in Scottsdale, Arizona. 25,000+ procedures performed.
Our Scottsdale practice offers lipedema surgery to treat abnormal fat accumulation in the lower body. Using advanced techniques such as VASER and power-assisted liposuction, we remove excess tissue and refine body contours. Lipedema surgery can ease pain, improve mobility, and lower the risk of secondary complications. With more than 25,000 operations performed, Dr. Mata provides highly specialized, board-certified care focused on each patient's goals and natural-looking results.
Lipedema surgery removes excess fat tissue from the legs to treat lipedema — a condition causing abnormal fat accumulation. Dr. Mata performs this procedure under local anesthesia with deep sedation to minimize side effects and achieve excellent results.
Depending on the amount of fat removal needed, the operation can last 2 to 6 hours. Lipedema surgery is often called liposuction for lipedema.
Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction (VASER) — Dr. Mata uses ultrasonic-assisted liposuction with VASER technology to address lipedema symptoms. This advanced body contouring approach is highly effective at targeting the affected fat while protecting surrounding tissues.
Power-Assisted Liposuction (MicroAire) — A precise, vibration-driven technique that allows controlled removal of large volumes of affected fat — especially helpful in the legs where lipedema is concentrated.
Lipedema treatment often involves removing significant volumes of fat — which can leave loose skin. Renuvion skin tightening can be added to address skin laxity and enhance the final contour result.
Candidacy is ultimately a conversation. Dr. Mata will determine the right path at consultation.
