Would I be a good candidate for Aqua Lipo? Does this look like stage 1 lipedema and will it respond to Lipo? (Photo)

Question

I am thinking of getting liposuction on my thighs. I fear that I might have stage 1 Lipedema and want to get a handle on things quickly. Does this look like stage 1 Lipedema? Will it respond well to liposuction?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You appear to be a candidate for liposuction. For best results, I recommend a hi definition procedure like VASER liposuction. I use VASER HI DEF with ThermiRF and fat grafting to get the most fat removal, skin tightening, contour and definition. This combination will give you the most toned result. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hi definition physique expert. Best, Dr. Emer

jws1977   I appreciate your concern, however lipedema is usually disproportionate fat deposits restricted to lower extremities only and it appears from your photograph that you do have modest lipodystrophy of your abdominal region as well.  Lipodystrophy is an increased collection of fat in a particular area, effectively treated by liposuction.  However it is best to be seen by a board-certified plastic surgeon for a full of evaluation and diagnosis with treatment options.  good luck.

Gaurav Bharti, MD, FACS · Answer

Looking at you the photos it appears that you would benefit from circumferential Vaser liposuction along with safe power assisted liposuction.  A in person consult will be required but you should have a nice improvement.  Good luck.
