History
Total Lipedema Care is one of the first lipedema centers in the United States. Dr. Jaime Schwartz saw the outpour of lipedema patients in need of education and treatment and many were looking to go to Europe for surgery because currently the disease lipedema is more recognized in Europe. Women did not know how to get diagnosed or who to talk to because they weren't being taken seriously by their healthcare providers about the pain in their legs and arms. He wanted to create a safe community and center for women suffering from lipedema and thus Total Lipedema Care was created.
Specialties
Total Lipedema Care specializes in treating the fat disease lipedema. From diagnosis, plan of action to move forward with your life, and surgery - the TLC team supports lipedema patients of any stage of disease. Dr. Jaime Schwartz developed the technique, Manual Lipedema Extraction (MLE), which assures all lipedema fat is removed. Often times a regular liposuction cannula cannot remove the thick lipedema fat nodules so the technique used at TLC will assure the best result possible in treating lipedema patients. If you are considering surgery for lipedema, from pre to post operation, TLC will help you along the way.
