Liposuction For Lipedema Emerges As A New Treatment For Painful Fat Syndrome

Lipedema affects about 11% of women around the world and yet, remains a commonly misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and poorly treated condition.
One cosmetic surgeon believes that liposuction could be a long-term solution with multiple benefits.
Dr. Boris Volshteyn of Atlantic Surgical Associates of West Long Branch, New Jersey has launched a liposuction procedure that targets accumulated fat associated with lipedema.
Recent studies indicate that Lipedema cannot be greatly reduced even with bariatric surgery.
Through liposuction, 20-30 liters of fat are removed, giving patients relief from chafing, swelling, and bruising.
Dr. Volshteyn uses a combination of power liposuction, waterjet-assisted liposuction, and ultrasonic-assisted liposuction based on an individualized surgical plan.
As part of the procedure, chronic venous insufficiency in the from of spider veins and varicose veins are also treated.
