Hi I am Silvia- Lipedema Mentor. I guide women preparing for Lipedema Reduction Surgery. Because surgery is not the first step - preparation is.

Lipedema patient myself. Book your introduction call.

You don’t always need images covered in blood to understand how difficult a surgical journey can be.

Behind these photographs are three surgeries, months of preparation and recovery, pain, exhaustion and real complications.

I faced skin necrosis, a seroma and a healing process made even more complex by Behçet’s syndrome, my autoimmune disease.

I don’t show everything to shock people.
I show enough to tell the truth.

Lipedema surgery is not a simple, quick or linear journey. It requires preparation, patience, discipline and the ability to start again, even when your body needs more time than expected.

And yet, after three surgeries, I am already preparing for my fourth.

Not because it has been easy.
But because, despite everything, it has been worth it for me.

Today I move better, my legs feel lighter and I am regaining a freedom that lipedema had slowly taken away from me.

The journey is difficult.
But it can be worth taking, with awareness, preparation and without hiding the hardest parts.

And it is precisely because I know what it means to go through all of this that my new 90+90 Mentoring Program will begin in September:

90 days to prepare before surgery
+
90 days of support during recovery.

If you also want to approach surgery with proper, structured preparation built around the reality of this journey, you can begin with me.

Over the coming months, you will also be able to follow my own preparation for my fourth surgery, planned for October 2026.

This time, I will not support you only through what I have already experienced.
We will walk through it together, step by step.

Oh yes, and no: these images were not created with AI.

I do use artificial intelligence to make my Instagram feed more polished and visually beautiful, because we already see enough blood in hospitals.

At least here, we can try to tell even the difficult stories beautifully. 🤩

After a day at the beach, I don’t just wait for my legs to feel better.

I support them with a simple routine that combines movement, water, gentle skin care and rest.

I start with dry sand to gently stimulate microcirculation, then I walk in the sea and let the natural pressure of the water and the movement of the waves support my lymphatic system.

Once my skin is dry, I apply my cooling gel and massage my legs slowly. The fresh sensation helps me prolong the benefits of the sand and the water, while the massage supports any swelling caused by the heat.

And then I stop.

I drink water, stay in the shade and give my body time to recover.

This is not a perfect routine or a universal protocol. It is what I have learned helps my lipedema legs feel lighter and more comfortable during summer.

The cooling gel I use is part of the Lipedema Rebel self-care collection, created for the routines I personally follow and share with the women I mentor.

My beach routine for lipedema legs 🌊

After 3 lipedema surgeries, I still manage my legs every day.

In summer, water is one of the things that helps me the most.

I walk slowly in the sea.
I do small movements.
I rest after.
I drink water.
And I listen to my body.

For me, movement with lipedema is not about forcing.
It is about supporting my body in a way that feels gentle, realistic and sustainable.

Even 10–15 minutes in the water can help my legs feel lighter.

This is daily lipedema management.

Before surgery.
After surgery.
And in everyday life.

Need a routine that supports your legs?

We build it together inside my 90+90 Days Mentoring Program.

Applications for September are open 😉😎 Link in Bio 🫵

Lipedema Rebel was created from lived experience.

After years of living with lipedema without answers, and after going through surgery, recovery, preparation, doubts, pain, documentation, appointments and daily adjustments, I understood one thing clearly:

Women with lipedema need more than awareness.

They need practical support.
They need structure.
They need resources created for the reality of this disease.
They need to understand where to start, how to prepare, and how to move forward.

Inside Lipedema Rebel, I created different tools to support women along their journey:

The Lipedema Journal, where I share my lived experience through articles.
The Lipedema Library, with practical guides and workbooks that can be used independently or during mentoring.
The Rebel Boutique, with skincare and activewear created to support daily life with lipedema.
Private 1:1 mentoring, to help women prepare before, during and after surgery.
And the new 90+90 Days Mentoring Program, created to support women before surgery and throughout recovery.

Lipedema Rebel is not only awareness.
It is preparation, guidance, organisation, recovery support and lived experience transformed into practical resources.

Applications for all mentoring programs starting from September are now open.

If you are preparing for lipedema surgery or trying to understand your next steps, this is where you can start.

Every Lipedema Rebel knows something is wrong.

For more than 20 years, I knew something in my body was not right.

The pain.
The heaviness.
The swelling.
The shape of my legs.
The feeling that no diet, no effort, no explanation was ever enough.

When I finally discovered lipedema, everything started to make sense.

But diagnosis was only the beginning.

Then came the decisions.
The doctors.
The compression.
The lymphatic drainage.
The surgery planning.
The recovery.
The emotions.
The questions nobody had really prepared me for.

After 3 lipedema surgeries, 18 litres removed, complications, mistakes and months of recovery, I understood one thing very clearly:

women do not only need awareness.

They need structure.
They need preparation.
They need practical tools.
They need someone who understands what this journey really means.

This is why I created the new Lipedema Rebel website.

A space where you can find the Rebel Journal, practical resources, guides inside my library and private mentoring created from lived experience.

And this is also why I created my new 90 + 90 Private Mentoring Program:

90 days before lipedema surgery
+
90 days after lipedema surgery

A structured mentoring path to help you prepare your body, organise your care, understand your next steps, plan your recovery, ask better questions, and feel less alone before and after surgery.

You can choose private mentoring if you want guidance by your side.

Or you can use the resources independently, in full autonomy.

Because every Lipedema Rebel is different.

But no woman should feel lost in this journey.

The first 90 + 90 mentoring program starts in September.

Applications are now open through the Lipedema Rebel website.

Hair removal is probably one of the last things you think about before lipedema surgery.

Until one day you realize you don’t know what is actually safe.

Can you shave?
When can you wax again?
Is laser hair removal allowed?
Why does your skin still feel numb?

These are small questions that many women have, but very few people talk about.

After three lipedema surgeries, I learned that healing takes time. Even when your skin looks better on the outside, the deeper tissues and lymphatic system are still recovering.

In this carousel, I’ve summarized the general timeline that helped me understand when different hair removal methods may be appropriate during recovery.

✨ Every recovery is different, so always follow your surgeon’s recommendations.

Save this post for your recovery journey and share it with another woman preparing for lipedema surgery.

There is still so little awareness about arm lipedema.

Many people recognize lipedema in the legs, but they don’t realize that it can also affect the arms, causing pain, heaviness, tenderness and a characteristic accumulation of diseased fat tissue.

For me, one of the most painful areas is around my elbows.

My arm surgeries are still ahead of me, but I believe that showing the reality of stage 3 lipedema matters.

If seeing my journey helps even one woman recognize the signs earlier, seek a diagnosis sooner, or realize she is not alone, then sharing these moments is worth it.

Awareness starts with visibility.

Have you noticed changes in your arms too?

Yesterday I had my latest body composition review after my third lipedema surgery at

The last time I had a body composition assessment was after my second surgery.

Here is what changed after my third lipedema surgery:

✓ 10.4 kg less body fat

✓ 1.6 kg more muscle mass

✓ Blood pressure back to normal

✓ HOMA-IR insulin resistance index improved from 8 before my first surgery to 3 today (normal value is between 1-2,5)

✓ Reduced inflammation

These results are important because body composition tells a much more accurate story than the number on the scale.

Since 2023, I have lost 13 kg.

But what matters most is not the weight itself.

It is what happened inside my body.

Less body fat.

More muscle.

Better metabolic health.

Improved insulin sensitivity.

Lower inflammation.

These results were not achieved through surgery alone.

They are the result of a multidisciplinary approach that included lipedema surgery, physiotherapy, movement, protein-focused nutrition and consistent long-term work.

My body is not perfect, but it is definitely much healthier.

Today, the most important changes are not visible in the mirror.

They are happening inside my body.
