This patient came to Total Lipedema Care with debilitating lipedema. The pain and swelling she experienced in her legs were so severe that she could barely walk. Her mobility issues, pain, and increasing fibrosis were interfering with her daily life and progressively getting worse. Combined with the painful symptoms of lipedema, this painful fat disorder also caused her to have a “tree-like” appearance in her legs, where the lipedema fat fully encompassed the thighs, knees, calves, and ankles- resulting in ankle cuffing. After seeking treatment, Dr. Jaime Schwartz developed a long-term treatment plan tailored to this patient to combat the chronic disorder.
Through surgical intervention with lymphatic sparing liposuction and Dr. Schwartz’s signature Manual Lipedema Extraction- this patient has experienced life-changing results, and she is only halfway through her treatment plan! This photo was taken after her third procedure with Dr. Jaime Schwartz, and the treated areas include anterior lower legs, anterior thighs, posterior lower legs, and proximal thighs.
This patient came to us with pain, swelling, and decreased mobility caused by the severity of her Lipedema. Her treatment plan developed by Dr. Jaime Schwartz includes a series of Lymphatic Sparing Liposuction and Manual Lipedema Extraction ™ treatments in addition to long-term compression and Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massages to combat the Lipedematous fat and improve mobility and lymphatic flow. This patient’s severe pain was caused by oversized lipedema nodules found underneath the skin. These nodules were extracted during surgery using the manual extraction technique. This photo was taken after her first phase of treatment, which targeted the back of her legs. Notice the reduction of Lipedema fat in the back of her thighs after one surgery!

This patient sought out Total Lipedema Care after experiencing severe pain in her legs, which caused her to nearly be immobile. Following her procedure, she was able to recommence an exercise regimen, and she walked four miles without experiencing the severe pain that initially led her to receive a diagnosis.
Lipedema Reduction Treatment is performed in phases. This patient will continue a series of surgical treatments to address all of the lipedema affected areas.
