What Is UFE?
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a safe, non-surgical procedure that blocks the blood supply to fibroids, causing them to shrink naturally and disappear over time.
No need for a myomectomy or hysterectomy — avoid the risks, pain, and long recovery time of traditional surgeries.
Why UFE?
Permanent Relief: UFE eliminates fibroids without surgery.
Quick Recovery: Less pain and a faster recovery compared to traditional fibroid surgeries.
Feel Better Fast: Relief from symptoms can begin in just one month.

What Our Patients Say
This patient had 5 myomectomies! What? Yes! You read that correctly 5! Think about all the unnecessary surgeries. Dr. Lipman used MRI imaging and performed the UFE procedure. This is her 3-month check-up and her MRI is clear and her fibroid symptoms are gone.
Porsha Williams suffered a miscarriage due to fibroids and then had myomectomy surgery but her fibroids grew back during her second pregnancy. After having the UFE procedure and learning more about it, Porsche is sharing her UFE story so other women can have this knowledge earlier and can avoid surgery.
Alexa was told by several doctors that she needs to have a hysterectomy because of her fibroids. She was dealing with heavy bleeding that made daily life unbearable. Since having the UFE procedure, she’s seen a huge improvement! Alexa is very happy with the results and the care she received at the Atlanta Fibroid Center.
