The best treatment to permanently treat lipedema is liposuction and this can be done in a variety of ways. Water assisted liposuction is very gentle and considered a gold standards approach, but what matters the most is the physician performing the procedure, and their familiarity with lipedema and the needs of lippy patients. Best, Dr. Emer.
The Gold Standard for superior liposuction results requires use of the advanced technology of ultrasound assisted VASER liposuction. As an official trainer of VASER liposuction, I perform full body liposuction cases every week. VASER liposuction has been the only modality that has consistently resulted in outstanding liposuction outcomes. VASER liposuction ensures a smooth contour regardless of degree of excess fat by virtue of being able to remove any and all remaining fat comprehensively and uniformly. If skin redundancy is observed, Renuvion technology can be simultaneously applied to tighten your skin to optimize your overall contour outcome. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a VASER specialist will help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.Respectfully, Arian Mowlavi MD, FACSRealself 100 Hall of Fame Inductee
Lipedema is typically irreversible and does not respond to weight loss. However, avoiding obesity tends to be partially protective. Treatment options are liposuction and possible direct excision of skin and fat or a combination of both. Any type of liposuction can be used, though I would personally avoid the use of VASER or any form of laser liposuction in this particular condition. Liposuction can easily be done avoiding general anesthesia.If this is a procedure you are interested in, then I suggest you consult with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon. At times, it is helpful to get more than one opinion, especially in cases that are somewhat unusual or if the person does not have a great experience with lipedema. Best of luck,Mats Hagstrom, M.D.

I've used ultrashape a few times in this are with great results, but it is not the treatment for lipedema which will worsen over time and cause pain and swelling. The best option is surgery/liposuction and if performed well, can give amazing results with very little downtime. I did 2...
Hello there,Thank you for your question. Tumescent liposuction is not by itself lymphatic sparing. To me, what lymphatic sparing signifies the surgeon’s skill to only stay in the certain subcutaneous layer and not damage deeper branches. General anesthesia I feel would be more difficult to do t...
