Revolutionary Contributions
Through his Advanced Lipedema Treatment Program (ALT) at The Roxbury Institute, Dr. Amron has performed over 8,000 successful lipedema-reduction surgeries with his dedicated team. His mastery of the tumescent technique, which utilizes local anesthesia to reduce the risks associated with general anesthesia, uniquely qualifies him to treat the dense, fibrotic fat tissue characteristic of lipedema. Dr. Amron's hands-on experience and meticulous approach to staying within what he calls the “safe plane” have solidified his status as one of the most sought-after liposuction surgeons in the United States.
