Lipoedema

Lipoedema

Expert care for the diagnosis and management of lipoedema.

Lipoedema is a chronic, progressive disorder of adipose tissue that predominantly affects women. It is characterised by a symmetrical accumulation of painful fat, most commonly affecting the hips, thighs and legs, and may also involve the arms. Unlike obesity, lipoedema fat is resistant to diet and exercise and is often associated with tenderness, easy bruising and swelling. Following a comprehensive assessment, treatment options may include minimally invasive procedures alongside personalised medical management, depending on the stage and clinical presentation of the condition. Individual results vary.
