Statement: Dr. David Amron is a board-certified dermatologic surgeon based in Beverly Hills, California. As founder of The Roxbury Institute and the Advanced Lipedema Treatment Program, Dr. Amron specializes in lipedema treatment, cosmetic and revision liposuction and body contouring procedures. He has refined his technique and artistry over close to three decades and has performed over 5,000 lipedema surgeries and 10,000 liposuction procedures—a depth of experience that has made him one of the most in-demand liposuction surgeons in the Los Angeles area.

Dr. Amron’s guiding philosophy is about bringing balance to each patient’s proportions and creating a refined silhouette. He takes an all-encompassing, holistic approach in assessing a patient’s unique anatomy, needs, and goals. During a consultation, Dr. Amron evaluates the entire body with three factors in mind: weight, disproportion, and laxity. Looking at the body in its entirety and developing a customized body sculpting plan results in more natural-looking outcomes.

After graduating from the University of California San Diego with a degree in Biology, Dr. Amron attended the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, where he obtained his medical degree. He then returned to UCSD to complete his residency. A research fellowship at UCLA followed.

Dr. Amron is board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology and a member of numerous medical societies including the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, the American Society for Liposuction Surgery, and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery.

A leader in his field, Dr. Amron has contributed to a number of medical journals and authored chapters on dermatologic surgery in medical textbooks. He has been featured in a variety of TV and news outlets, including The Doctors, The Today Show, The Discovery Channel, Good Morning America, the Wall Street Journal, Cosmopolitan, and the LA Times.

Airsculpt for calves and ankles with lipedema?

Tumescent Liposuction vs Airsculpt for Lipedema
Apr 7, 2022

To begin with, lipedema surgery is very particular and should ideally be done by a surgeon with extensive experience in lipedema for numerous reasons. These are complicated areas, there is a lot of fibrotic scar tissue that must be understood in terms of completely decongesting and releasing properly. The treatment of the calf and ankle area in particular needs to be done in a completely circumferential manner, covering every millimeter to not only get the best treatment off the disease...

Would liposuction help my lipedema or should I get a tummy tuck first?

Liposuction for Lipedema
Apr 7, 2022

I am so happy to hear that other physicians are becoming aware of lipedema and correctly diagnosing patients. Your vascular surgeon correctly diagnosed you with lipedema as I can appreciate simply based on the characteristic shape and distribution of fat and swelling of your legs, both upper and lower. Your legs are forming more of a column like shape with distribution of fat and swelling. Your torso which was previously done with liposuction created a lot of the irregularities in my opinion...

Is preop testing not necessary before lipedema surgery?

Preop Testing for Lipedema Surgery
Apr 7, 2022

While each surgeon is different in terms of their approach to surgery and pre-operative preparation, Lipedema surgery itself is even more particular. I can only comment about what I do in my practice with lipedema patients. It is my protocol to have every patient have medical clearance. Especially any patient over the age of 55 or with ongoing medical problems. In your case, you are younger at 40 years of age and it is not unreasonable that your surgeon may not want a medical clearance. I do...

Is there a plastic surgeon who has the knowledge and successful experience performing liposuction on pa

A response from The Roxbury Institute
Jun 8, 2018

Hi jwee,

I am Dr. David Amron, Founder and Medical Director of The Roxbury Institute. I believe you may be referring to Dr. Stutz, in Germany. While he is an excellent surgeon with his own method of treating lipedema, I was not trained by him or anyone in Germany. For the past 24 years, I’ve spent my entire professional career specializing in liposuction and body contouring procedures. My practice has been specifically focused on treating patients from across the globe who suffe...

Hello,It does appear that you have a column-like look to your calves and ankles and if I can see in these photographs, it even looks like you have a little bit of early cuffing of the lateral aspect of the calves and ankles. If you also have symptoms of either pain or swelling, then this is definitely lipedema. Typically, it would not only be expected to occur in the calf and ankle area, but it usually involves the entire leg area that goes up to the groin area in a circumferential pattern....

Is Sculpsure safe for lipedema patients?

SculpSure treatment for Lipedema
Sep 6, 2017

Hello Jennifer, I don’t feel that SculpSure really has any role in lipedema patients. Once a person is diagnosed with lipedema, it should be treated by other modalities rather than non-surgical fat reduction. I have SculpSure in my practice, but I would never utilize it for my lipedema patients. It is not the proper therapy. To begin with, I don’t think it will do much in terms of improvement. Secondly, it’s really going to miss a lot of areas in terms of the proper treatment of liped...

Smart lipo ok for lipedema?

Smart Lipo for the treatment of Lipedema
Sep 6, 2017

Dear Lora,Smart Lipo is a tool that we use in liposuction and I use it myself in a specific way. Rather than paying so much attention to the tools that are being used, more importantly is the evaluation of the patient with lipedema. My experience with lipedema is almost always a circumferential pattern of distribution that goes all the way around. My feelings are just to focus on the hips, outer and inner thighs is not going to correct lipedema, number one from a disease treatment...

Does anyone here even know what LIPEDEMA is?

What is Lipedema
Sep 6, 2017

Hello Debbi,Lipedema is a very under-recognized fat storage condition that was identified in the 1940’s at the Mayo Clinic. It is among several fat storage diseases that we do learn about in medical school such as Dercum’s disease and Madlungs disease. Lipedema, however has been unfortunately ignored for many years, although with increased awareness that has started to change. It usually presents in puberty during teenage years and commonly runs in families. It tends to progressively get...

Is this lipedema?

Lipedema
Sep 6, 2017

Hello there,To diagnose lipedema, there are two factors that are most important. It is a clinical diagnosis and there are no blood tests for lipedema. It is based on two things, the pattern of distribution of the fat and secondly, the symptoms that go along with it. The pattern of distribution tends to be a circumferential pattern that goes all the way around and gives a column-like looks to the legs, that goes from the groin all the way to the ankles even to the calves and ankles. It also...

Jul 31, 2017

Hello and thank you for your question. It is a little difficult to tell from the photos you provided to determine if you have lipedema. There is more information that would be necessary to obtain. To begin with, I’d like to see better photographs of you that show the entire ankle area. Secondly, I’d like to understand the symptoms that you may or may not be having such as pain, swelling or increased bruisability. Third, do the types of legs you have tend to run in your family? Based on the...

If I do Vaser ultrasound lipo I can get fat transfer for BBL?

Liposuction and BBL procedure
Jul 31, 2017

Hello and thank you for your question. It is true that VASER fat, as long as the fat has been done on a lower setting, is more viable and better for fat transfer to the buttock in a BBL. Laser energies work at a much higher temperature, which can kill the fat cells and make the fat much less effective for fat transfer to the buttocks. Laser fat is much less preferable than VASER’d fat is. Please remember to seek a board-certified surgeon for your medical needs. I wish you the best of luck a...

Is it better to lose weight and THEN get a sculpt/Vaser/airsculpt lipo, or just as you are?

Liposuction procedure
Jul 31, 2017

Hello and thank you for your question. Weight loss and the areas that should to be targeted with liposuction are two different things. Liposuction is a tool or technique to identify and target areas of disproportion in a person’s body to create the proper overall balance and proportion and improve contour. Weight loss is separate, in terms of a person dropping weight, but and should have nothing to do with balance and proportion in a person’s body. Many surgeons tell a patient to lose wei...

Vaser or laser? Afraid of loose skin post-op. I'm 26 and I have lots of scars. Which technique do you r

Vaser vs. Laser
Jul 31, 2017

Hello and thank you for your question. I’ll start saying that no tool can guarantee the perfect result, but it’s more about the skills, judgement and artistry by the individual surgeon. I have seen the biggest disasters in my own practice coming from other surgeons using VASER or laser, not because the tool is a bad tool, but because the surgeons’ skills or lack of skills. Alternatively, I have seen perfect results without using either VASER or laser. In my practice, for many years, my resul...

Lipedema: tumescent vs VASER?

Lipedema treatment
Jul 31, 2017

Hello and thank you for your question.Tumescent and Vaser are 2 different things. Tumescent is an approach to doing liposuction surgery and to me the approach is either under tumescent anesthesia or general anesthesia. VASER is a tool to help optimize results, similar to Smart Lipo laser. In my practice, I currently use both in a particular fashion. My approach to lipedema surgery is a version of the tumescent approach, using the WAL (Water-assisted liposuction), but I find that the WAL...

What can be the correct treatment for me?

Lipedema treatment
Jul 31, 2017

Hi Anilo, thank you for your question. I see a fullness above your knees as well as a circumferential distribution, that are characteristics of lipedema. This would be further supported if you had any symptoms such as pain and swelling and easy bruisability. My practice focuses on the surgical treatment of lipedema. I do feel this is the only real long-term solution, to do lymphatic sparing liposuction in a particular fashion. Compression therapy can provide temporarily improve the swelling...
