I have lipedema in my lower structure and I am on blood thinners. Would you advise liposuction?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest seeking out only a subspecialist for this treatment, but you cannot be on blood thinners.  Dr. David Amron of Beverly Hills is the only physician I know who can help you.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

Liposuction is an elective aesthetic procedure and no patient should assume inordinate risks to undergo this operation. You should be fully cleared by your hematologist before considering cosmetic surgery.

Reza Momeni, MD, FACS · Answer

Simply, should not be done.  If you can safely be taken off your blood thinners with the approval of your dorctors for a while, then you might consider it.

Paul M. Parker, MD, FACS · Answer

If I understand you correctly, these two issues make you a poor candidate for liposuction. It would be unsafe for you to proceed.
