Dr. Thomas Wright has written over 30 Scientific abstracts, book chapters and peer-reviewed publications, including 9 peer-reviewed manuscripts on lipedema in the last 3 years. He recently published his research outlining improvements in lipedema patients’ quality of life following Lipedema Reduction Surgery LRS using his specific technique. He is a co-author of the US lipedema Standard of Care Guidelines, and he authored case reports of lipedema coexisting with anorexia nervosa and lipedema coexisting with malnutrition.
