Answer: Cellulite and Lipedema are Different Diseases Cellulite and lipedema are different diseases. Cellulite is a very common condition in women with up to 80% of women having some degree of cellulite changes. Lipedema is a subcutaneous adipose tissue disease that causes fibrous nodules in the affected tissue. Treatment of lipedema with liposuction does not affect cellulite changes. Liposuction or more correctly Lipedema Reduction Surgery reduces the number of nodules in the subcutaneous tissue.. It can improve mobility, and decrease pain and swelling. However, it does not affect cellulite changes.

Answer: Cellulite improvement with liposuction Lipedema liposuction involves the (1) mechanical release of fibrosis and (2) suction of fat with the use of power-assisted liposuction (PAL) devices. Lipedema liposuction generally improves associated cellulite changes, but there are always exceptions and cases where this is not seen. Cellulite occurs when fibrous bands pull the skin down from underneath, creating a "dimpled" appearance. The liposuction cannulas can help release the fibrosis, and therefore "push" the skin back up to improve that dimpled appearance.

Answer: Liposuction for lipedema Hi and thanks for your question. Liposuction is widely used for lipedema. It doesn’t effect the cellulites but especially in lipedema patient, skin excess occurs after the liposuction so liposuction should be combined with skin excision.
