Leg Liposuction (Lipedema)
Advanced Lower-Body Contouring with Dr. Puyana
Full Body Lift Designed to Improve Proportion, Comfort, and Confidence
Disproportionately enlarged legs are not always caused by weight gain alone. For many patients, especially women, the issue is lipedema—a chronic condition characterized by abnormal fat accumulation in the legs that does not respond to diet or exercise.
Leg liposuction for lipedema is designed to reduce excess fatty tissue, improve leg shape, and relieve physical discomfort, while respecting the delicate anatomy of the lower extremities.
At Puyana
Plastic Surgery
Dr. Salomon Puyana performs leg liposuction using a multi-technology, precision-based approach, combining several advanced systems to maximize control, safety, and contour refinement.
What Is Leg Liposuction (Lipedema)?
Leg liposuction (lipedema) is a specialized form of liposuction designed to address abnormal fat distribution in the legs, often involving the thighs, knees, calves, and sometimes ankles.
Unlike standard fat accumulation:
- Lipedema fat is resistant to weight loss
- Legs may feel heavy, painful, or tender
- Disproportion between upper and lower body is common
The goal of leg liposuction in lipedema is not only aesthetic improvement, but also enhanced comfort, mobility, and quality of life, while restoring more balanced leg proportions.
Why Choose Leg Liposuction (Lipedema)?
Patients choose leg liposuction for lipedema to:
- Reduce disproportionate leg volume
- Improve leg contour and symmetry
- Relieve heaviness, discomfort, or pressure
- Improve mobility and daily comfort
- Achieve better balance between upper and lower body
When performed with advanced technology and proper technique, leg liposuction can deliver meaningful functional and aesthetic improvement.
The Most Advanced Multi-Technology Approach to Leg Liposuction (Lipedema)
Precision Technology for a Sensitive Area
Dr. Salomon Puyana combines multiple advanced technologies to treat lipedema safely and effectively:
VASER® Ultrasonic-Assisted Liposuction
Uses ultrasound energy to selectively break down fat while preserving surrounding structures—especially important in lipedema cases.
MicroAire® Vibration-Assisted Liposuction
Allows controlled, precise fat removal with reduced tissue trauma and improved efficiency.
BodyTite® Radiofrequency Technology
Delivers controlled energy to assist with skin tightening and contour refinement after fat removal.
Quantum™ Radiofrequency System
Enhances tissue contraction and supports smoother, firmer leg contours.
By combining these technologies, Dr. Puyana can tailor the procedure to each patient’s anatomy and severity of lipedema—rather than relying on a single device.
