Is it worth it to invest in liposuction/CoolSculpting for lipedema on legs in my late 20s?

June 17, 2020
Asked By:julila in Murrieta, CA

I'm 26 and noticing the onset of Lipedema in my legs (both my grandmother and mother have it ) I'm not overweight but I recently went from being underweight to average weight this last year... I've always had issues with my weight and to be honest the thought of lipedema terrifies me. I am wondering the best way to maintain this without letting it progress any further, and if it would be worth investing in liposuction now while there is still a relatively small amount of fat.
