At Lipedema MD in West Long Branch, New Jersey, we recognize that surgery isn’t the only step toward relief. Many patients benefit from conservative strategies that help manage swelling, pain, and mobility. While non-surgical treatments don’t replace surgery, they can support daily comfort, improve results, and promote long-term wellness.
Guided by the expertise of board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. Boris Volshteyn and Dr. Rudolf Thompson, our team offers thoughtful recommendations based on your symptoms, goals, and stage of care. These non-surgical options are often used alongside surgical treatment or as supportive tools to help patients feel better and stay active throughout their lipedema journey.
Anti-inflammatory eating, daily movement, and water-based exercise help manage symptoms and support overall health. Some patients also explore GLP-1 medications with their providers as part of a broader wellness plan.
Compression plays a key role in managing lipedema symptoms. Daily use of garments or wraps helps reduce swelling and discomfort. Some patients also benefit from compression pumps to support lymphatic flow between treatments.
MLD is a gentle massage that supports lymph flow, helping reduce swelling and discomfort. Dry brushing and vibration can offer added benefit.
Supplements may help support lymphatic and vascular health. We offer recommended products in our shop and through LiperaHealth.com.
ShapeScale is a 3D scanning tool that tracks body changes over time. It provides a visual way to monitor treatment progress beyond weight alone.
