Clinical Findings
Significant lower-limb swelling extending toward the ankles
Pain along knees and shins
Distribution and clinical signs consistent with lipedema

Treatment Plan & Procedure
A targeted approach aimed at reducing lipedema tissue while protecting skin quality:
360° lower-limb liposuction
VASER (ultrasound-assisted liposuction / UAL)
Renuvion tissue tightening to reduce risk of postoperative laxity
Anesthesia: General
Surgery time: ~4 hours
Fat removal: ~4,700 ml
Recovery & Aftercare
Immediate and continuous compression garment use for 8 weeks
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) program to support decongestion and swelling reduction
Guidance with an anti-inflammatory nutrition plan
Expected bruising and swelling for ~2 weeks, with uncomplicated healing
Several months later, we scheduled a follow-up video call to review her progress—and the transformation was remarkable.
Marked reduction in swelling and heaviness, significant improvement in leg shape and symmetry, decreased pain and bruising tendency, improved mobility and endurance, and a meaningful boost in confidence and quality of life.
