The Lipedema Society is launching an International Surgical Fellowship Program.

Led by dermatologic surgeon David Amron, MD, medical director of the Roxbury Institute in Beverly Hills, Calif., the six-month fellowship will equip surgeons with the necessary knowledge, tools and methods required to effectively treat the disease. Currently, the most effective long-term treatment for lipedema is lymphatic sparing liposuction and specialized perioperative care.

The Lipedema Society’s International Surgical Fellowship Program will accept its first fellow at the close of December 2016, and will begin fellowship rotation January 1, 2017.
