Dr. Dupere is truly a master craftsman! Finding out that my "stubborn fat" was a result of lipedema felt devastating and confusing, mainly because of a lack of medical recognition and limited solutions. However, after extensive research, I came across Dr. Dupere and the Visage Clinic. From the moment I had my initial consultation, I knew he would be my surgeon. He has given me back the years lost hiding behind clothes, ashamed of a body I had no control over-no matter what diet or exercise plan I followed. Two surgeries later, and I love the new me. My extremities now match the rest of my frame, a possibility I never thought could be true, and what a relief to say it is.
Dr. Dupere is a consummate professional and also very kind. His bedside manner is impeccable and the post surgical results are absolutely mind blowing...no exaggeration.
Finally, his entire staff, from the front office to his medical team-everyone makes you feel like an old friend. You will be in good hands if you decide to entrust Dr. Dupere and team. And to be honest, no other choice comes close. Thank you, Doctor, I will be returning to you for all my aesthetic needs.

Dr. Marc DuPéré is not only a leading surgeon, he is, above all, a lovely, compassionate, kind, human being. My entire surgical experience with him, and his team, was outstanding, from my initial consultation, to my post surgical follow-up appointments, nothing was overlooked. I knew I was in good hands! I highly recommend Dr. Marc DuPéré and intend on returning, knowing am I am in gifted and capable hands. I would be remiss not to extend a sincere note of appreciation to his outstanding nurses, Rachel in particular, who was knowledgeable, reassuring, and like everyone at the clinic, wonderfully kind. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr.Dupere and his staff. Jen was beyond helpful in answering questions and providing information to me prior to my booking the consultation. From the moment Dr.Dupere entered the room, I knew I was in amazing hands. He is beyond knowledgeable, kind, and extremely easy to talk to. I NEVER felt rushed or that my questions were silly. I appreciated his honesty and patience. Thank you Dr.Dupere, Ray, Jen, and all the staff at Visage for your care and the wonderful experience. I'm thrilled with my physical results, and even more overwhelmed with how these procedures have positively impacted my quality of life.

He is a caring and attentive man, and above all, he instilled complete confidence in me from our very first meeting. An outstanding surgeon, always smiling, but also an exceptional person who makes you feel valued. With his expertise and talent, I recommend him to everyone, not forgetting the clinic staff who are all very friendly, helpful, and always available to answer our questions! Thank you to the whole team for this wonderful experience 🙂
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
The ideal candidate is a woman (aged 30–65) who experiences a disproportionate buildup of fat in the legs, hips, or arms that is painful to the touch and does not respond to diet or exercise. Having an accurate diagnosis is crucial, and Dr. DuPéré will assess whether you are a good candidate for Lymphatic-Preserving Liposuction.
Your initial consultation is a confidential and detailed conversation with Dr. DuPéré. He will listen carefully to your concerns about pain and disproportion, review your medical history and anatomy, explain the Lymphatic-Preserving Liposuction technique, and create a personalized treatment plan — often performed in stages.
Recovery is similar to that of a large-volume liposuction. Wearing a compression garment for 3 to 4 weeks is essential to minimize swelling and support skin retraction. Most patients return to sedentary activities within about one week, but vigorous activity should be avoided for six weeks. Lymphatic drainage therapy is highly recommended.
Dr. DuPéré is one of the few plastic surgeons in Canada and the U.S. with over 15 years of experience performing the 360-degree Lymphatic-Preserving Liposuction technique. His approach prioritizes safety, the use of general anesthesia, and overnight monitoring for large-volume cases — ensuring optimal lymphatic protection and superior aesthetic outcomes.
Lipedema is a chronic condition, but Lymphatic-Preserving Liposuction removes the diseased fat cells. With the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, results are long-lasting. Dr. DuPéré emphasizes that the surgery is both therapeutic and aesthetic, offering a long-term solution for symptom relief.
Yes. In advanced cases, where there is excess skin after removing large volumes of fat, Dr. DuPéré may recommend complementary procedures such as a Thigh Lift or Arm Lift to optimize contour and proportions.
