Dr Jeffrey A Ditesheim is a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon based in Charlotte, NC.

• Specialises in treating Lipedema, with a deep passion for helping women suffering from this condition.
• Began using Water-Jet Liposuction in 2011 and noticed that Lipedema patients were seeking this method for fat removal.
• Attended the FDRS (Fat Disorders Research Society) meeting this year to gain further insight into the struggles and frustrations faced by Lipedema patients.
• Recently visited LipoClinic in Mülheim, Germany, to observe and learn from Dr. Thomas Witte, a leading expert in German Lipedema care.
• Implemented German protocols into his practice following this visit, bringing cutting-edge care to the US.
• Actively supports patients with insurance documentation, although navigating the process has been challenging – similar to what’s experienced in Germany.
• Offers both virtual and in-person consultations to women in the US interested in discussing Lipedema treatment, surgical timing and protocol.
