Many plastic surgeons provide a wide range of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, including facial surgery, breast surgery, body contouring, reconstructive surgery, hand surgery, non-surgical aesthetic treatments, and, in some cases, lipoedema surgery.

Dr Anuj Purbey has taken a different approach. Rather than dividing his practice across multiple cosmetic and reconstructive procedures, he has chosen to focus primarily on VASER liposuction and the surgical treatment of lipoedema.

This dedicated focus allows him to continually refine his techniques, remain at the forefront of developments in lipoedema surgery, and provide highly specialised care for women with this condition.

Years of experience are important, but they do not always reflect the number of lipoedema patients a surgeon has treated.

Some surgeons may have offered lipoedema surgery for many years while treating relatively few patients each year because it represents only a small part of their overall practice.

In contrast, lipoedema forms a substantial proportion of Dr Purbey’s clinical work. As a result, although he may have fewer total years dedicated to lipoedema surgery than some surgeons, he may have treated a higher volume of lipoedema patients.

Dr Purbey has extensive experience treating women with Stage 1 lipoedema, enabling earlier intervention before the condition progresses.

Early treatment may help reduce symptoms, improve mobility and quality of life, and potentially limit progression in appropriately selected patients.

This is an important aspect of his practice and may appeal to women seeking treatment before their condition becomes more advanced.( especially in early twenties, thirties- mind the age restriction for surgery 18 years old)

Before specialising in lipoedema surgery, Dr Purbey developed extensive experience in emergency medicine.

His background in Accident & Emergency involved caring for patients with a wide range of acute and complex medical conditions, including pain management and surgical emergencies.

Many patients find reassurance in knowing their surgeon has this broader medical experience, particularly when discussing peri-operative safety and post-operative pain management.

Patient safety is central to every stage of Dr Purbey’s practice.

He performs surgery exclusively in CQC-registered hospitals that meet strict UK regulatory standards. He does not operate in unlicensed clinics.

His meticulous surgical technique, careful patient selection, and rigorous infection prevention protocols have contributed to an excellent safety record.

If appropriate and fully supported by audited clinical data, it is reasonable to state that he has had no documented immediate post-operative surgical site infections within his reported practice.

Dr Purbey’s dedication to treating lipoedema extends beyond his professional practice.

Having witnessed the impact of lipoedema on close family members, he has seen first-hand the physical discomfort, emotional challenges, and delays many women experience before receiving an accurate diagnosis.

This personal understanding has strengthened his commitment to raising awareness, improving access to specialist treatment, and helping women regain mobility, confidence, and quality of life.
