What Are the Signs You Might Be Suffering from Lipedema?

Stubborn fat buildup

that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise, especially in your legs, thighs, hips, or arms.

Painful or tender areas

In your legs or arms, often feeling swollen or heavy.

Disproportionate body shape,

where your lower body or arms are noticeably larger than the rest of your body.

Swelling that worsens throughout the day,

especially in your legs or ankles.

Easy bruising

or soft, spongy-feeling fat in the affected areas.

Discomfort or pain when standing or walking

for extended periods.

AT NATURAL RESULTS, our Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons, Dr. Mata and Dr. Benjamin, specializes in treating lipedema using advanced liposuction techniques. He delivers exceptional results while minimizing risk and discomfort, helping you regain control over your body.

Lipedema Surgery Procedure

Dr. Mata and Dr. Benjamin perform lipedema surgery under deep sedation anesthesia. This involves providing intravenous medications to cause a state of reduced consciousness and profound relaxation. The patient is not asleep and feels no pain. Sedation medicine keeps them completely calm and relaxed. Vital signs are monitored throughout the procedure.
A tumescent solution consisting of saline, lidocaine, and epinephrine is injected into the target areas. These medications provide local anesthesia and blood vessel constriction. They minimize bleeding, allow us to prevent pain, and help achieve maximum comfort.
Small incisions of a few millimeters each are made in the surgical sites. These openings allow for the insertion of fat-dislodging devices and cannulas. The incisions are hidden to minimize scarring as much as possible. They are very tiny and made in a few seconds.
VASER liposuction uses ultrasound energy to break up and liquefy fat before removal. A probe emitting high-frequency acoustic waves is inserted through the incisions to treat the unwanted tissue. After this procedure, Dr. Mata and Dr. Benjamin can remove fat with less mechanical force.
The next step is to use power-assisted liposuction, which includes a cannula with a vibrating back-and-forth motion to dislodge excess tissue. This allows the surgery to be performed more precisely and efficiently than traditional manual liposuction. The broken fat tissue is suctioned out through the cannula.
After all procedures, the surgeon closes the incisions with dissolvable sutures. Bandages are also applied to promote healing and recovery.
