Do my legs have lipedema? Could liposuction help? (photos)

Asked By:Jubilant6131 in Jersey City, NJ

Hello, A quick history on me is I am an elite athlete for my whole life and still train (weights, swimming, circuit training cycling ) consistently. At age 20 (25 now), I noticed my legs getting bigger. For the first time in my life, I tried to diet and while I lost weight (became very underweight) my legs still had a weird shape. Is it possibly lipedema? Could liposuction help? Even if it's not lipedema, would liposuction be an option to get my old legs back :(
