Amazing Arms
I was skeptical at first since I didn’t talk to Dr Su until immediately before my procedure. He was thorough very nice and put my mind to ease. My arms look amazing better than ever in my life. You get his cell phone number if you need it after the procedure. I’m just so excited and he is a true artist. It is expensive but worth it The pics are immediately after. Within a couple days, the skin got tighter My nurse Olga was great also
While the healing process is intense, I would do this or another procedure again. Dr. Su has an amazing gift as an artist and being able to translate that to real life bodies is an incredible talent. I traveled from Michigan and I feel blessed that I was able to find someone as gifted as him. To not only understand what lipedema is and the consequences it creates, but to have the precise skills to make an incredible change as if lipedema never existed. My knees and calves finally

Happy with my Results So Far
I was diagnosed with stage 1 lipedema in 2024 after years of suspecting I had it. I knew I'd get surgery; it was just a matter of when and which surgeon. After a lot of research and seeing client testimonials and results, I decided to get a quote from ArtLipo. The consultation was easy and done via email. I had to submit photos, then Dr. Su drew on them to show what my legs could look like if I do uppers (thighs/knees) or lowers (calves/ankles) or both. I felt a bit pressured

I Love my Results
Love Dr Su and his staff. I’ve had 2 surgeries with Dr Su. Lower legs in 2021 and recently thighs. I waited 3 months post surgery to write my review Dr Su is a true artist. He understands lipedema and is empathetic to our situation. I am fairly thin but lipedema in legs and arms is resistant and I don’t want to lose more weight. He sculpted my legs so nicely and with Renuvion I do not have lose skin and I am in my 50’s. I’m no longer ashamed of my legs. I will be doing arms

Dr. Su had an extensive consultation with me, where he took the time to address all of my concerns and did not start the procedure until I felt certain all of my questions were answered and that I was making the best decision for myself. He did not make me feel rushed. The procedure went well as Dr. Su ensured that the pain was a tolerable level throughout the procedure. He was supportive as he guided me to certain positions and letting me know the timing. He proved his expertise

I am 9 days post-op from my second surgery (360 thighs) - my first surgery was just over 3 months ago (ankles and knee complex) for lipedema. I cannot recommend Dr Su, Tara and the whole ArtLipo team highly enough. The whole experience with the clinic was excellent - I received brilliant care and support the entire time, and I am beyond happy with the results of both surgeries. Recovery can be tough, but the results are well worth it. Dr Su’s work speaks for itself and he was

Great Experience
I was so nervous going into surgery that I couldn’t even sleep the night before. The moment I arrived, Olga (my surgery nurse) immediately put me at ease—she made me feel comfortable, calm, and cared for. Kayla was incredibly sweet and patient, answering all of my many pre-op questions with kindness. During the awake lipo procedure—definitely not the easiest experience—Olga and Chelsea were by my side the whole time. They were attentive to my pain, reassuring, and made sure I

Life Changing Surgery with Dr. Su!
Dr. Su performed my lower legs (knees and ankles) as well as my inner thighs just a few days ago, and the results have truly exceeded my expectations. I went in with a positive outlook and realistic hopes, but what he achieved is beyond what I imagined. My case was very challenging—my legs were heavy and deformed, especially around the inner knees and thighs. Yet, Dr. Su sculpted them back to resemble how they looked before Lipedema over 30 years ago. If you’re on the fence because
