I have stage 1 lipedema and am wondering if a series of Ultrashape would combat the fat in my thighs/calves and ankles?

Question

I am scared to have traditional or tumescent liposuction as the risks terrify me. Ultrashape seems safe and effective from what I have seen but of course you cannot believe everything you read on the internet.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

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 patients this week with lipedema on the calves/ankles/knees and they are walking and doing normal activities in less than 24 hours!  See only an expert for this. Best, Dr. Emer.
