Are there any board certified plastic surgeons familiar with Lipedema and would do Pro-bono or discounted WAL lipo for it?

Our office specializes in lipedema treatment and you may be a good candidate for lipedema liposuction. Lipedema is far different than regular fat deposition and requires a methodical approach by a trained surgeon. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thank you for your question. As lipedema becomes more readily recognized as a distinct fat cell issue, and patients no longer have to reiterate "no, lipedema, not lymphedema" liposuction as a treatment will only grow in prevalence. In general, traditional tumescent liposuction can be lymph sparing, by avoiding the major lymphatic basins in the body, and using a delicate technique. Traditional tumescent liposuction uses tapered cannulas that help push arteries, veins, and lymphatics away from the area being suctioned.
