34 Year Old Lipo on Saddlebags, Waist and Arms with a Light BBL

After a shower some spanks and clothes.

I did see a large crease on my right flank that suspect might need a revision in the future. The crease was probably created by the tape and how the garment cut at the waist.

What did the doctor say about your edema? How normal is that? And how've did the lipo on your arms turn out? I'm having the same areas done ;)

Girl, you have classic Lipedema. Many doctors are not familiar with it but the lipo sometimes makes it worse/advances it. I can see it immediately when I look at your photos. Dr. Karen Herbst is the world renowned specialist. There are several support groups on Facebook, etc. Please do your research and you are going to need compression that is different from Spanx.

I agree.

Thank you!! I had never heard of Lipedema and because of your comment I was officially diagnosed in 2019 by Dr. Emily Iker. After a long battle with my insurance I am now approved for surgery!!! Again... thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I agree as well. That was my immediate first thought when I saw your first picture. Lymphedema. You need to seek a specialist. Good luck!
