Director

TheRoxbury Institute

Dr. David Amron is a board-certified dermatologic surgeon with over 30 years of experience and is internationally recognized as a leading expert in lipedema, liposculpture, and revision liposuction. He has dedicated his career to pioneering advancements in lipedema reduction surgery and is the founder and medical director of The Roxbury Institute, which has locations in Beverly Hills, CA, Tucson, AZ, and Salt Lake City, UT. With over 12,000 successful surgeries, the Advanced Lipedema Treatment (ALT) Program at The Roxbury Institute stands at the forefront of surgical innovation in lipedema care. Developed through decades of expertise and research, the patent-pending ALT method combines an advanced application of the tumescent technique with a meticulous focus on operating within the “safe plane”—a surgical zone that minimizes risk while maximizing precision. This approach is uniquely suited to addressing the dense, fibrotic fat tissue associated with lipedema and has earned Dr. Amron a reputation as one of the most trusted and experienced specialists in the field.
