Using Lipedema fat in BBL? Is this safe?

July 8, 2018

I’m dealing with a lifelong issue with stage 1 Lipedema, I’m thin and very fit but carry the Lipedema fat in thighs and legs only. I had my cankles liposuctioned last year, but want to do upper legs/thighs now. The surgeon said my shape would be much better with a small fat transfer to butt and hips but they only have Lipedema fat to use, but it’s “cleaned and scrubbed.” Any professional opinions?
