Asked By:ellearsha in New York, NY

Hi, I have always gained weight in my lower body, and I tend to keep it there no matter how much dieting and exercising. My legs do tend to swell often as the day goes on. My torso seems to always stays pretty small but legs/saddlebags just keep getting bigger, and in recent years I've started gaining a little fat in the upper arms, too. I'm researching doing Smart-Lipo to even out my lower body, and curious to find DR's near the NY area that are experienced with lipedema patients.
