Do I have lipedema or cellulite and what treatment should I have? (Photos)

Question

I'm 27 years old and I did liposuction 4 years ago and my legs still annoying me. This shape starts to appear in my legs since I was 16 Those cellulite or lipedema isn't painful. I didn't feel any pain in my legs. If I have lipedema what should I do because I already did liposuction, and do exercises helpful in my case, thanks.

you may have early lipedema and cellulite but liposuction can make this worse if not combined with internal heating like renuvion.  also, long term this area really needs RF treatments like legacy and forma and trsculpt flex regularly.  Best, Dr. Emer.

At this point the most important thing is to avoid weight fluctuations.

I suggest owning an accurate scale and getting on it every day.

Know how much you should weigh and try to stay within your healthy weight range as much as possible.

Weight fluctuations especially major weight fluctuations are going to be your biggest enemy.

There really are no great treatments for flabby thighs with cellulite and moderate skin laxity.
