Do I Have Lipedema?

Do I Have Lipedema?

Lipedema is a chronic swelling condition that occurs when fat gets irregularly distributed beneath the skin – most commonly beneath that of the buttocks, trunk, and legs.

People can still have lipedema even when there is typically no excess accumulation of fat in the arms, abdomen, or chest. This is because it affects the lower extremities and buttocks almost exclusively.

These patients will experience masses of nodular fat in the legs, demonstrating excess adiposity most typically in the lower extremities. Research indicates that women, nearly 11%, are exclusively affected by this condition, in part due to hormone causes.

What Is The Cause Of Lipedema?

What Is The Cause Of Lipedema?

Adiposis dolorosa, meaning painful fat, or lipedema, is an adipose tissue disorder characterized commonly by disproportionate adipocyte hypertrophy. Can cause of lipedema be fixed?

While lipedema can present in different ways, it is commonly seen in female legs. Women who have lipedema fail to respond to extreme weight loss modalities, and even under strict diets, the lower extremities remain as a “column leg.”

What is The Difference Between Lipedema and Lymphedema?

Unlike lymphedema, women suffer from the painful condition of lipedema mainly in their legs. One of the most notable differences is that feet are generally not involved in lipedema.

Lipedema tissue usually stops at the feet and causes the size of the trunk and the size of the legs to become disproportionate. The feet are usually normal in size when initially affected, but then swelling begins to develop from the level of the ankles.

Proper Buttock Implant Placement

Advances in proper buttock implant placement have allowed surgeons to minimize the risk of this procedure. For years, buttock implant augmentation was plagued by a near 20% complication relating to implant infection and extrusion.

Today, optimizing proper buttock implant placement, have been reduced to less than 5%. The most important advancement has involved sealing the buttock implant within the gluteus muscle.

Mini Tummy Tuck Recovery Stories

Have you heard many mini tummy tuck recovery stories? They are usually uneventful, as the recovery process is much easier than a full tummy tuck recovery. This is due to the fact that mini tummy tucks are performed to address moderate to mild skin redundancy only.

Therefore, there is not a lot of skin tension following this procedure which allows for a relatively easy recovery. SurgiSculpt has mini tummy tuck recovery stories from hundreds of patients who have been back at their place of work within the next week!

Tranexamic Acid Benefits To High Definition Body Contouring

Tranexamic acid has gained recent popularity as a means to minimize blood loss during high volume liposuction. Tranexamic acid was first used in cardiac cases and more recently in orthopedic surgery for hip replacements to minimize unnecessary bleeding.

Since high definition body contouring requires high volume liposuction, tranexamic acid has been advocated to reduce blood loss.

How Can Lipedema Fat Be Managed?

Much too often, women who are suffering from lipedema are told that the swelling and adiposity in their legs is due to genetics or due to lifestyle. Treatment of lipedema varies, as some methods have been supported to be more effective than others.

Treatment includes lymphatic support by surgery, particularly specialized lipectomy. It is important to find an experienced and highly knowledgeable surgeon that understands the anatomy and condition of lipedema. This is critical in surgical treatments because they will be able to successfully spare injury to lymphatic channels when removing the lipedema fat.

Tummy Tuck Alternative

Tummy tuck alternatives include either a less invasive mini tummy tuck or minimally invasive Renuvion skin tightening. A full tummy tuck provides the advantage of not only maximally removing the skin from your belly (typically will be able to remove the skin from your pubic region to above your belly button) but also tightening your abdominal muscles (so you don’t look bloated). Two tummy tuck alternatives exist and these include:

A mini tummy tuck option removes a wedge excision from the pubic and lower abdominal region (well below the belly button). The indications for a mini tuck include:
