Christian Hospital Doctor Treats Lipedema

Donald Buck, MD, a Washington University Physician plastic surgeon, treats lipedema at Christian Hospital

Washington University Physician Donald Buck, MD, is a plastic surgeon practicing exclusively at Christian Hospital. He is one of only a few doctors nationwide performing surgery to remedy lipedema, a chronic disorder of body fat.

In cases of lipedema, fatty tissue accumulates in distinct patterns in the legs and sometimes arms. An otherwise healthy person appears overweight in the legs and arms. The condition is misdiagnosed so often that people travel from all over the nation to see Dr. Buck at Christian Hospital.
