What is lipedema treatment?
Do you have excess fat that you just can’t seem to lose, no matter how much you diet or exercise? Hard work with no results can be dispiriting. However, the problem may be lipedema, a disease that causes an above-average accumulation of fat in the thighs, legs, ankles, and arms.

How liposuction can help
Liposuction removes the lipedema fat while avoiding the lymphatic vessels. Whether your lipedema affects your arms, legs, or ankles (causing ‘cankles’), liposuction can help remove the excess fatty tissue.
Dr. Markelov explains the procedure to the patient and listens to them describe their ideal results. Then he considers their specific case of lipedema and determines if liposuction will help them reach their body goals.
