• Although there are differences between Lipedema and Obesity, they can also be related. After weight-loss is when many women start to realize there’s something different about their bodies and that they can’t lose fat on their arms and legs. Lipedema can be a culprit to obesity due to a lifetime of leg pain and inflammation. Keeping Lipedema under control with diet, exercise, and compression at an early stage can help prevent furthering the progression of Lipedema and weight gain, which can ultimately lead to obesity.

  • These are lipedema nodules. It’s important to massage your legs and wear compression if you think you have early stages of lipedema to continuously break these up. In time they can get worse and you will no longer be able to break up the fibrous fat without surgery. These nodules can get so large that a liposuction cannula cannot removed them, so they have to be manually removed with MLE, Manual Lipedema Extraction, during surgery. This is when after liposuction, nodule fat is massaged out of the incision site. This technique was developed by Dr. Jaime Schwartz. See video on our page of MLE. Regular healthy fat is yellow, Lipedema fat is white, lumpy, and hard. @drjaimeschwartz . . . . . #lipedema #lipedemawarrior #lipedemafighter #lipoedema #fatdisease #weightloss #obesity #liposuction #plasticsurgeon #drjaimeschwartz #drschwartztlc #lippylegs #lipedemaawareness #weightwatchers #weightloss #obesity #fat

  • You know you have lipedema when you’ve had calf pain and inflammation your entire life and you almost accepted that maybe just maybe you needed to keep dieting or work out even harder than your daily 2 hour cardio routine. After constant dieting and exercise, you wonder if there’s muscle under there in your calves… There is! Aside from not being able to fit boots or skinny jeans without a stretch, your calves have circumferential pain from being so tightly inflamed, your ankles are puffy, your legs bruise easily, and when you do work out you get the most painful shin splints and pain. No this is not normal and we’re betting at some point you thought maybe it was. Many of you used to be athletic at some point but over time you’ve been weighed down by your legs and calves. The best way to treat calf pain is liposuction. Women with lipedema have an abnormal amount of fat on the anterior and poster of their calves. Liposuction can be an instant relief to take the pressure down and lighten up your step. . . . . . . . . #lipedema #lipoedema #weightgain #weightloss #lipedemafighter #liposuction #looseskin #fat #painfulfat #inflammation #bodylift #lymphedema #lipedemacalves #calves #calfpain #skinsplints #runners #athletes #cantloseweight #weightwatchers #plasticsurgery #drjaime #drschwartztlc #lymphatics #painfullegs

  • The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials before sending fluid to the heart. This is why when having surgery for lipedema, lymphatics should be spared. Women with lipedema already have a lymphatic system that is not functioning properly, so taking every safety precaution is so important. . . . . . . #lipedema #lipoedema #weightgain #weightloss #lipedemafighter #liposuction #armlift #looseskin #fat #painfulfat #immflamation #bodylift #lymphedema #lipedemaarms #cantloseweight #weightwatchers #plasticsurgery #drjaime #drschwartztlc #lymphatics #capillaries

  • Although we put an emphasis on legs, arms are a major issue and area of pain due to the bad fat disease lipedema. Most women with lipedema have pain and abnormal fat in the arms as well as their legs. We place emphasis on legs because they are more painful due to having to put weight on them every day and are harder to hide. Lipedema arms are characterized by fluffy marshmallow like fat in the back, harder nodule fat in the front, and forearms range in size and circumferential fat. The pain in lipedema arms is described as a crawling burning feeling, aching pressure, and it usually occurs when lipedema pain and inflammation is triggered. Treatment is compression, massage, liposuction, and lymphatic sparing arms lifts to remove sagging skin that causing issues with fitting into clothing and daily life activities. . . . . . . #lipedema #lipoedema #weightgain #weightloss #lipedemafighter #liposuction #armlift #looseskin #fat #painfulfat #immflamation #bodylift #lymphedema #lipedemaarms #cantloseweight #weightwatchers #plasticsurgery #drjaime #drschwartztlc

  • This is how your veins should look after lymphatic sparing liposuction. This patient had two liters of fat removed from this area and here is how her veins looked after, untouched. We get a lot of questions about why it’s important to find a surgeon that specializes in lipedema and this is why. Patients with Lipedema already have lymphatic issues so taking every precaution to spare veins and blood vessels in essential to healing properly and moving forward.
