Total Lipedema Care Plastic Surgery Center

Total Lipedema Care (TLC) Lipedema statistics are staggering; they show that one in nine women go undiagnosed and far too many are misdiagnosed as merely being overweight or morbidly obese, resulting in a lack of appropriate medical treatment. At Total Lipedema Care (TLC), we recognize that it is so much more than just weight! We are devoted to caring for Lipedema patients and are committed to furthering the advancement of Lipedema research, awareness, and treatment. Lipedema is a progressive disease that may spread and worsen if left untreated. The impacts are vast, often diminishing mobility, self-esteem, and quality of life. There is also an increase in the chances of developing blood clots and lipo-lymphedema. This can lead to a severely blocked lymphatic system and chronic skin infections. While there is no cure for Lipedema, please don’t lose hope, there are medical management and treatment options available that can help alleviate some of the pain and symptoms brought on by Lipedema. Led by renowned Plastic Surgeon and Lipedema Specialist Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS, we provide both surgical and non-surgical treatments for this progressive and painful fat disorder. We help patients with all stages of Lipedema and have safely and successfully treated many complex cases. At Total Lipedema Care, the improvement of your mobility and symptoms is our number one priority. Surgical and Non-Surgical Lipedema Treatment Options Lipedema is a chronic disease, it’s something you can’t change. You can’t diet it away, you can’t starve yourself, you can't work out more and have it just go away. This is something that grows completely differently so it takes a different type of treatment to manage it. -Dr. Jaime Schwartz As an innovator in this field that specializes in advanced surgical techniques, Dr. Schwartz has introduced new methods and procedures that help remove the diseased fat from the body which helps to relieve the pain and pressure that builds under the skin. He offers therapeutic non-surgical and surgical treatments for Lipedema based on your individual needs and stage. With a focus on the safe and effective improvement of Lipedema, Dr. Schwartz routinely performs Lymphatic Sparing Water-Assisted Liposuction (WAL) with TIVA and skin removal surgeries. His signature surgical treatments for Lipedema include Lymphatic Sparing Arm Lift, Lymphatic Sparing Liposuction, Lymphatic Sparing Thigh Lift, Tummy Tuck for Lipedema, Panniculectomy for Lipedema, and Upper Buttock Shelf Treatment. For a smoother skin texture, Dr. Schwartz developed Manual Lipedema Extraction (MLE), a specialized technique that removes the fibrous beaded fat nodules that are intertwined in the connective tissues and attached to the skin. With this ground-breaking technique that is performed in conjunction with Lymphatic Sparing Liposuction, Dr. Schwartz performs a gentle massage that dislodges and expresses the fat nodules through the incision site.
