AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Body Contouring

Over the last 14 years I have mastered many of the surgical derivatives of Tumescent liposuction including Laser Assisted Liposuction, Water Assisted Liposuction, Radio Frequency assisted Liposuction, Vibration Assisted Liposuction and Power Assisted Liposuction and Fat Transfer. I have published papers on the Tumescent Liposuction. My techniques which I have spent thousand of hours mastering emphasize safety and minimally invasive techniques and technologies as much as possible. Liposuction and Laser Liposuction are much safer without general anesthesia and offers a quicker recovery. I am one 5 or 6 surgeons in the USA who specialize in treating a subcutaneous fat disorder called Lipedema with a lymph sparing liposuction technique. Combing Liposuction and Laser Liposuction with technologies such Radio Frequency and Fat Transfer can now comfortably give the majority of patients' optimal body contouring results.Dr. Wright's office is located in in O'Fallon, MO near St. Louis!

I recently completed my second surgery, and I truly couldn’t be happier with the experience and results. This has been a long journey for me in addressing my struggles with lipedema, and choosing to move forward with removal surgery has made a dramatic difference in my mobility and overall confidence. Dr. Wright and his care team are exceptional. From the very beginning, they created a welcoming environment where I felt comfortable, informed, and supported. They took the time to thoroughly explain each step of the process and made sure I knew what to expect from start to finish, which eased so much of the anxiety that can come with surgery. I’m incredibly grateful for the care I received and the positive impact this has had on my quality of life. I would highly recommend Dr. Wright and his team to anyone considering treatment for lipedema.

Awesome Lipedema Lipo Experience

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Wright and his team! I (35F) underwent calf and ankle liposuction for lipedema in late Feb and am sooo happy with the results. Every step of the way was easy and the team really took the time to answer questions, even accommodating my husband virtually during the pre-op when he was out of town. Cannot recommend Dr Wright and his team enough for their expertise in lipedema. Honestly the pictures speak for themselves. Thank you Dr Wright!!

I highly recommend Dr. Wright and Crystal for your varicose vein needs. I had a great experience! The entire office staff are welcoming and supportive. Crystal helped me through a procedure that was more uncomfortable than expected. I will be returning for any future needs.

The Best Place for Varicose Veins!

I cannot say enough wonderful words about Laser Lipo and Vein Center! I started my varicose vein journey here in October 2024. I had previously went to a different vein place two years prior and it was a horrible experience with complete lack of care, consideration and expertise. Needless to say I was nervous starting the process of vein ablation again. Dr. Tom and Crystal eased my mind from the moment I met them. They assured me that this would be a painless process and they lived up to that promise! The amount of care, compassion and knowledge they showed me throughout this process was incredible. I looked forward to my appointments and enjoyed my conversations with Dr. Tom and Crystal, they're truly wonderful people, as well as the rest of the staff! I am thrilled with my results and my legs have never felt better! If you're nervous about removing your varicose veins, don't be! The right place makes with the right care team makes all of the difference, I am so happy I contacted Laser Lipo and Vein Center!

Response from Dr. Thomas Wright, MDThank you for your kind words! We’re so glad to hear that you had a positive experience with our team. We strive to create a welcoming and professional environment for everyone who visits our office. Your feedback means a lot to us!

In 2024, I traveled out of state for five lipedema reduction surgeries with Dr. Wright and his team. Dr. Wright and his nursing staff are true experts in lipedema management, providing exceptional pre- and post-operative care. Any minor issues post-surgery were handled with immediate attention and compassion; I always felt safe and prioritized. Dr. Wright is incredibly thorough, determined, and kind. Through various lipedema support groups, I've seen countless women who underwent surgery elsewhere left with questions about their aftercare, procedures, and compression, often unsure what to expect. My experience with Dr. Wright was entirely different. From my initial diagnosis in 2023, I received clear information and expectations. The team always provided prompt, comprehensive answers to all my questions and concerns. These surgeries have been life-changing. Combined with my own commitment to recovery, strength training, and compression, I'm now moving better than I have in years and experiencing a significant reduction in pain. While the surgeries and recoveries aren't easy, with good preparation and dedication to your health, Dr. Wright and his team are the ideal partners. I'm incredibly grateful to have found them and recommend them without reservation. Thank you, Dr. Wright, Amanda, Sara, Dakota, Savanah, Dawn, and the entire team for keeping me sane, safe, and at ease!

Dr. Wright is truly one of a kind, I’m so lucky to have been referred to him by my local physician! I traveled from over 7 hours away to receive his care. From the moment I met him, I could tell how much he genuinely cares about the work he does and the patients he serves. He took the time to really listen to my concerns and validate my experience with lipedema, which is something that has been incredibly hard to find during my 15 year struggle with the condition. His compassion, professionalism, and deep understanding of the condition gave me so much comfort and confidence going into my procedure. I can tell he makes every decision with his patients' best interests at heart. Dr. Wright is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in his field, but also incredibly kind and thoughtful. His entire staff was warm, welcoming, and supportive every step of the way. The outcome of my procedure has been so much better than I could have ever asked for, and I am beyond grateful. I truly cannot recommend Dr. Wright and his team enough!
