Beverly Hills , Feb. 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dr. David Amron, elite dermatologic surgeon and Beverly Hills, California liposuction expert, has now safely treated more than 500 patients with lipedema, a commonly misdiagnosed fat storage condition affecting an estimated 370 million women worldwide. Having pioneered his own specialized surgical technique, Dr. Amron is one of the few surgeons in the nation with a proven track record for success when treating the disease.
“Ten years ago, a woman struggling with the effects of lipedema would have struggled in silence, simply because there was so little known and so little familiarity with the disease,” said Dr. Amron. “Having played a part in generating greater awareness for lipedema, as well as in perfecting its treatment, is among the most important roles I’ve played in my career. It is truly amazing to think that more than 500 women, who at one time felt insecure, or afraid, or were in pain, are now living active, healthy, happy lives because of this treatment.”
Of the small percentage of individuals who do receive a correct diagnosis for lipedema, there is only one known cure: tumescent lymphatic sparing liposuction, a highly complex procedure most surgeons refuse to perform. An expert in the area, Dr. Amron developed a unique three-dimensional contouring approach to perfect the procedure. The technique is now considered the most effective lipedema treatment in the nation.
“When it comes to any surgery, but particularly one as sensitive as this, a surgeon’s judgment and experience are of utmost importance,” said Dr. Amron. “Using my specialized technique, I am able to discern the precise placement of incisions to allow for the safe removal of diseased fat in one to three sessions. My patients are up and walking in as little as 30 minutes after surgery and will see significant results after several weeks.”
