Dr. David Amron is a board-certified dermatologic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, internationally renowned as a leading specialist in lipedema, liposculpture, and revision liposuction surgery. As the founder and medical director of The Roxbury Institute, with locations in Beverly Hills, CA, Tucson, AZ, and Salt Lake City, UT, Dr. Amron has dedicated his career to pioneering advancements in lipedema reduction surgery. Dr. Amron works closely with Dr. Karen Herbst, Ph.D, M.D., the Head of Research and Director of Diagnostic and Preventative Medicine for the Advanced Lipedema Treatment program at The Roxbury Institute.
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.
After graduating from the University of California San Diego with a degree in Biology, Dr. Amron attended the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, where he obtained his medical degree. He then returned to UCSD to complete his residency. A research fellowship at UCLA followed. Dr. Amron is board-certified by the American Board of Dermatology and a member of numerous medical societies including the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery, the American Society for Liposuction Surgery, and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery.
Dr. Amron is a well-known national and international speaker and surgical advisor on the subject of lipedema and liposculpture. He trains other select surgeons from around the globe on his unique surgical techniques and his work has been featured extensively in the media including national and international television, radio, and print. Dr. Amron is the creator and host of Lippy Logic™, the first comprehensive educational YouTube series about lipedema, and he is an outspoken advocate for lipedema awareness, education and insurance reform for lipedema patients. In 2015 he founded the lipedema Society™ to further increase awareness and knowledge of lipedema.
In 2023, Dr. Amron released his best-selling book, Liposculpture and Lipedema Surgery: A Guide for the Patient and Pearls for the Surgeon, which serves as both an educational resource and a testament to his groundbreaking approach. The book encapsulates his philosophy of personalized, patient-centered care, emphasizing the importance of mastering surgical nuance to achieve exceptional outcomes. Dr. Amron's work not only highlights his technical expertise but also empowers patients and fellow surgeons alike through education, offering valuable insights and fostering a deeper understanding of liposculpture and lipedema surgery.
Dr. Amron will be speaking at the upcoming Super Size Your Life Expo in Chicago, July 19-20 2025.
At the core of Advanced Lipedema Treatment’s philosophy is the guiding principle that our surgeons are treating not simply a disease, but a person with a disease. Prior to even meeting a new patient, Dr. Amron’s heart and empathy lead the way, holding a patient’s hand from the initial consultation through recovery.
At the surface of our philosophy is beautiful artistry. Our elegant and skillful surgeons target disproportionate fat on the patient's body, so that the patient loses weight, but does so in a perfectly balanced way. However, achieving this requires more than just removing the accumulated fat. Equally as important is the careful attention and skill employed through liposculpture to achieve aesthetically pleasing body contouring and cosmetic results, and to maximally decongest the tissues. For maximum improvement in each patient, liposuction and liposculpture should accomplish three main goals: reduction of pain and improvement of symptoms, prevention of disease progression, and the best cosmetic outcome.
Dr. Amron and his team of lipedema specialists treat patients from around the globe. For that reason, Dr. Amron wanted to create an exceptional lipedema treatment and surgical center. Today, Dr. Amron’s Advanced Lipedema Treatment is offered exclusively at the highly regarded Roxbury Institute, with locations in Los Angeles, California and Salt Lake City, Utah.
The Roxbury Institute exceeds every standard of medical safety, and creates an idyllic environment for patients that promotes trust. With its elegant furnishings and well-equipped treatment rooms, you’ll rest easy knowing you’re receiving the highest standards of care and treatment.
