Loose skin (folds), Lipedema, possible EDS, am I not a candidate for cosmetic surgeries like liposuction? (photos)

Asked By:Darya S. in Moscow, ID

Hello! My legs are extremely wobbly, i suffer from severe burning pain and fluid retention. Some doctors suspect that i may have primary lymphedema or lipedema. I was also adviced to look into EDS, but I have no joint issues. And i have strange fat texture (like nodules under the skin). I am going to see a lipedema surgeon. So the question is - if i actually have EDS, does it mean that i am not a candidate for any cosmetic surgeries? (liposuction, skin removal etc). What procedures may help?
