After joining Byrd Lipedema Surgery Center, she trained extensively with Dr. Marcia Byrd learning Dr. Byrd’s advanced lipedema treatment methods. Dr. Byrd has implemented a unique way of using (PAL) Power Assisted Liposuction and (WAL) Water Assisted Liposuction along with Vaser liposuction using ultrasound technology. VASER liposuction breaks down fat cells, which reduces tissue trauma, bleeding, and bruising. This results in less pain and a faster recovery.
