What is Lipedema?

Lipedema is a painful condition that causes excess accumulation of fat in the hips, thighs, legs, and arms, causing millions of people around the world, predominantly women, to feel uncomfortable in their own skin.

Lipedema surgery is a procedure that removes excess fat from affected areas, providing relief from the physical and emotional burden of the disorder. This liposuction-based procedure is an effective treatment option that has helped many patients regain their mobility and confidence.

Lipedema commonly affects the arms, hips, and legs, causing an abnormal accumulation of fat. In the arms, it can result in a "column-like" shape, while in the hips and legs, it creates an uneven, thickened appearance, making movement painful and challenging. These areas may also experience increased sensitivity and difficulty with mobility.
