Talking Lipedema Reduction Surgery, Research, & Beyond w/ Dr. Thomas Wright

This week we sat down with Dr. Thomas Wright. Listen as we chat about the latest in awareness amongst professionals, research, and his approach to lipedema reduction surgery.

Dr. Thomas Wright has written over 30 Scientific abstracts, book chapters and peer-reviewed publications, including 9 peer-reviewed manuscripts on lipedema in the last 3 years. He recently published his research outlining improvements in lipedema patients’ quality of life following Lipedema Reduction Surgery LRS using his specific technique. He is a co-author of the US lipedema Standard of Care Guidelines, and he authored case reports of lipedema coexisting with anorexia nervosa and lipedema coexisting with malnutrition. Furthermore, he was trained in the tumescent liposuction technique by its originator, Dr. Jeffrey Klein. Dr Wright has also trained with originators of lipedema surgery in Germany. Dr. Wright has performed thousands of tumescent liposuction procedures for cosmetic and lipedema patients. He has developed his own lymphatic-sparing surgical technique using micro cannulas to limit unnecessary injury to the lymphatics during tumescent liposuction.
