Lipedema Procedures

Lipedema Lift

Elevate Your Appearance with Lipedema Lift Surgery

Lipedema is a chronic condition that causes an abnormal buildup of fat, often in the arms, thighs and calf/ankle, AKA cankles,, leading to pain and discomfort. At Gruber Plastic Surgery in Tampa, FL, we specialize in lipedema treatment, combining advanced liposuction techniques with lift surgeries to smooth out the skin and provide a more natural appearance. Dr. Meegan Gruber, a renowned, board-certified plastic surgeon, ensures optimal results for lipedema patients by using precise surgical methods to remove excess fat and lift sagging skin. Liposuction for lipedema involves removing fat cells from the affected areas. Expertise in this area is important as incomplete removal can leave uneven bulges. Once fat is removed, the skin may be loose or wrinkly. Dr. Gruber incorporates arm lifts and thigh lifts into the treatment plan, ensuring a smooth and contoured finish. This comprehensive approach not only alleviates the symptoms of lipedema but also enhances the patient's overall body contour. Choosing Dr. Meegan Gruber for your lipedema treatment means being under the care of a highly skilled and compassionate specialist. With years of experience in treating lipedema patients, Dr. Gruber utilizes advanced techniques like tumescent liposuction, along with effective lift surgeries, to provide long-lasting relief and improved quality of life.
