So by that logic, treating only the upper leg for example, you would then get additional growth in the lower leg and lower abdomen as they are next to the treated area as in your outer hip example?
This is so untrue. As a reconstructive plastic surgeon you have no means to stop the growth. You should not be treating areas that do not have lipedema growth as that would unnecessarily increase the risk of developing secondary lymphedema. Lippy women can have growth during hormonal period, not lippy women will. There is a case study of a woman developing at 96. Did all of a sudden she get a surge of E. Unlikely.
My plastic surgeon knows nothing about it. He actually told me he would not do my legs because he’s never had a good outcome. I suspect he knows nothing about it.
Thanks, that helped me understand better what to ask and what to expect. Much appreciated!🎉
Oh, very interesting. Thank you for teaching us the difference!
Thank you for that knowledge !!!! I always did wonder the difference

I called2 plastic surgeons in my area and they never heard of lipedema. How can that be?
