Lipedema Patient Shows First Photos After Surgery At Lipedema Centers

Written by

New York, NY – Our patient, Vicki Albano of New Jersey just sent us her first post-op photos showing one of her her lower legs after her first “lymph-sparing liposuction” procedure at our Lipedema Centers clinic in Manhattan. Vicki wanted us to share the photos to help other women learn about this effective treatment that has been shown to slow the progression of lipedema while removing excess fat, thereby relieving pressure on critical lymphatic structures which are often damaged due to the effects of the disease. Vicki tells us that she is feeling great and she now experiences little or none of the pain associated with lipedema which has affected her life for over 20 years. Vicki says she can’t wait for her second liposuction procedure to remove additional fatty tissue.

Lipedema Centers patient Vicki shows one of her legs just before her first surgery and two weeks post-op.
