This 58-year-old patient suffered from a large hole in the heart, which was consequently closed, and varicose veins that were treated with Dr Lekich before proceeding with LipoExtraction. This meant the risk of surgery was greatly reduced by decreasing the risk of blood clots, bleeding and fat going to the lungs and brain, during surgery.
Surgery was staged as a day surgery case with a minimally invasive, bilateral (both legs together) procedure, resulting in 7 litres of fat being removed from the lower and upper legs, which includes fat around the knees.
