Marcia V. Byrd, M.D. is a pioneer in minimally invasive anti-aging procedures and techniques and is heralded as a leader in the field of aesthetic enhancements. With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Byrd specializes in treating lipedema, a condition characterized by an abnormal buildup of fatty tissue in the legs that can lead to joint complications and mobility problems.
Dr. Byrd is the Medical Director of The Lipedema Surgery Center, where she has performed thousands of lipedema surgeries. She is highly experienced in Water-Jet Assisted Liposuction (WAL), a gentle type of liposuction that has been shown to be the only effective treatment for lipedema. Dr. Byrd also offers Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL) for enhanced results in a shorter period of time.
Dr. Byrd recommends an anti-inflammatory diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein to help manage lipedema. She also emphasizes the importance of regular, low-impact exercise and weight management in slowing the disease progression. Compression garments and wraps, massage, and vascular care can also be helpful in improving pain and tenderness, preventing or reducing lipedema, and improving the shape of affected limbs.
Dr. Byrd's commitment to providing customized treatment for each patient ensures that they receive the best surgical treatment for their condition at the time of surgery. She and her team of experts provide care for patients throughout the United States and Canada, with a focus on the North Atlanta, GA area including Roswell GA, Alpharetta GA, Milton GA, Woodstock GA, Canton GA, Dunwoody GA, Sandy Springs, GA and more.
