His bedside manner is as wonderful as his medical skills

Consultation review: Knowledgeable, experienced surgeon
I had a consultation with Dr. Salim, and was impressed by his bedside manner and the realistic expectations he helped me set. I can tell he is very experienced with the procedure I am interested in. Highly recommended.
My face texture and complexion is so much brighter
The Med Spa team is second to none. They are attentive and intentional, and all so kind. The services they provide have helped with my complexion and texture, and I would recommend them to anyone in the Bowling Green area. I have had a Moxi + BBL, microneedling, monthly facials and dermaplanes, and Dysport. They always make me feel comfortable and at ease before any new treatment.

26 Q&A
A: LippyLipo liposuction treatment for lipedema provides consistent outcomes by removing the lipedema fat and achieving amazing cosmetic outcomes with minimal downtime and immediate results. LippyLipo has been a game changer in the treatment of lipedema disease.
A: Varicose veins and venous insufficiency are a common issue for many women, and they often become more pronounced with age.
Lipedema patients who have varicose veins or venous in-sufficiency, it is almost always better to treat the Lipedema first with properly done liposuction surgery. The reason for this is that the release of fibrosis and decongestion from liposuction greatly reduces the hydrostatic pressure in the tissues surrounding the veins and reduces pressure in the veins.
This tends to improve the varicose veins and venous insufficiency, but more importantly, it allows for more successful subsequent venous therapy, if needed. This is one more reason why proper tumescent anesthesia with fluid should always be given as a preparatory step to cause vasoconstriction and reduce bleeding during Lipedema liposuction surgery.
A: The way to decide depends on the skin laxity above the belly button. If you can pinch the skin and have good laxity, then you need a full tummy tuck. If the area above is very tight, then you might be able to get away with mini. My experience has been that patients are usually happier with the full compared to the mini. Your surgeon should be able to direct you the right way. Also, amount of pregnancies you had or weight changes play a role. The more you have, the more likely you need a full. I hope that helps, and I hope I didn’t make it more complicated for you.
A: Awake 360 liposuction to the thighs is a very good option. Make sure to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has a lot of experience when it comes to doing awake procedures. I hope that helps.
A: The best treatment would be liposuction. It would be best to choose a surgeon who does a high volume of lipedema liposuction due to the extreme necessity for expertise, especially in areas such as knees, calves, and ankles. In most cases, we prefer Power Assisted Liposuction using tumescent anesthesia.
Make sure also that your surgeon is double-board-certified. I hope this helps.
