Atlantic Surgical Associates of New Jersey now offers multimodal liposuction as an effective treatment for lipedema. Connect with Dr. Boris Volshteyn and his team for lasting relief from this painful, debilitating, and poorly understood condition.
Lipedema affects about 11% of women around the world and yet, remains a commonly misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and poorly treated condition. As a result, diet, exercise, and in some cases bariatric surgery, are treatment modalities that cannot offer you lasting relief. One cosmetic surgeon believes that liposuction could be a long-term solution with multiple benefits.
Dr. Boris Volshteyn of Atlantic Surgical Associates of West Long Branch, New Jersey has launched a liposuction procedure that targets accumulated fat associated with lipedema. During the procedure, 20-30 liters of fat are removed, giving patients relief from chafing, swelling, and bruising.

Dr. Volshteyn believes that cannot be resolved through a regimen of diet and exercise. Recent studies indicate that Lipedema cannot be greatly reduced even with bariatric surgery.
Discussing the rationale for liposuction, he says, "Any form of liposuction that reduces the number of fatty cells in the lower extremities and other affected areas also decreases metabolic demand on the tissues. It reduces the ability to store excess lymph and overall, reduces the amount of lymph traveling through the tissues."
According to Dr. Volshteyn, a lipedema specialist at Atlantic Surgical Associates, most doctors are unaware that this is a medical condition and frequently attribute a patient's extreme pain and fatty tissue build-up in the lower body to obesity.
Currently, the causes of lipedema are unclear. A majority of medical professionals think that a combination of hereditary and hormonal factors contributes to the development of this condition. Lipedema typically begins at a time of high hormonal stress, starting oral contraceptives, pregnancy, or menopause. It is also typical for lipedema to worsen with age.
Dr. Volshteyn and the team at Atlantic Surgical Associates use surgical methods that can offer patients lasting results. Studies showed that the removal of fatty tissue build-up might be accomplished with the use of power-assisted liposuction, waterjet-assisted liposuction, and ultrasonic-assisted liposuction. Freedom from painful fat syndrome is just an appointment away.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Boris Volshteyn has offices in New York and West Long Branch, New Jersey. He received his surgical training at the University of Missouri in general surgery and plastic surgery. His work has been presented at numerous national events and has been published in scholarly journals. You can now view a surgeon-authored patient guide to lipedema on the Atlantic Surgical Associates website.
Discussing his approach, Dr. Volshteyn says, "Liposuction procedure is usually performed either under general anesthesia or sedation. Patients do not recall anything and do not hurt during the procedure. My procedures may take more time because I use several technologies simultaneously to achieve the best possible result. "
