I had tummy tuck 14 weeks ago. It was suggested I also have small fat graft to my hips to counteract dog ears however I now do have a very obvious dog ear on my right side. I contacted my surgeon who suggested I now need a torso lift. I don't know what that is. I've d the large dent in my right thigh for years. Pretty sure I have lipodema, could lipo or fat graft improve that or make lipodema worse? Or would lipofirm pro work? Would an aqualex injection help diminish the dog ear?
Hello, I doubt if I have lipedema, my legs are too big and I have saddle bags too but I don't get bruises easily nor I get swollen legs. but I feel the weight in my lower body. I'm confused.
Hello! My legs are extremely wobbly, i suffer from severe burning pain and fluid retention. Some doctors suspect that i may have primary lymphedema or lipedema. I was also adviced to look into EDS, but I have no joint issues. And i have strange fat texture (like nodules under the skin). I am going to see a lipedema surgeon. So the question is - if i actually have EDS, does it mean that i am not a candidate for any cosmetic surgeries? (liposuction, skin removal etc). What procedures may help?
Hello! I had lower leg liposuction (WAL) for lipedema. I'm 5 months post-op. My right leg feels almost back to normal, however left leg has more edema and pins-and-needles feeling. They are the same size. Both legs still swell around ankles, but wondering why the one leg feels different? Should I be concerned about lymphedema? Is one leg sometimes slower to heal for some reason? Any input? My doctor is in Germany so I can only talk to him via email/photos. Thanks! I still get MLD 1x per week.
Hey there! I have stage 1 lipedema, 26 years old, no kids, and I would like to have liposuction in my legs, mainly my inner knees actually. About How much would this cost and how much fat would be removed? Thank you so much! I'm in Louisiana by the way! I like having a butt and having a pear shape, how much would I effect these areas?
I am 46 years old. I have lipodema and lymphedema (Stage 2) . I was diagnosed in June 2008. I am looking for any help with ultrasonic liposuction as I progress with this. I'm really scared about looking so disfigured. I am 5'4 and weigh 289 lbs, and my doctor really is of no help but to keep telling me to lose weight. I know this. He's a good doctor but I don't think he really knows enough about this. He just thinks I have lymphedema, but my physical therapist told me I have a lipodema as well. I wear compression. I have abdominal heaviness and my thighs seem to be just getting bigger and bigger. Please help me, I don't want to spend the rest of my life immobile because of this.
