Lipoedema is often misdiagnosed as obesity, but it's a distinct medical condition affecting the lymphatic system and adipose tissue distribution.
Key facts about lipoedema:
- Disproportionate fat accumulation in legs, hips, and sometimes arms
- Typically begins at puberty or hormonal changes
- Causes pain, heaviness, harder movement and easy bruising
- Progressive without proper treatment
- Affects approximately 11% of women
The lymphatic-preserving QUANTUM VASER technique offers a specialised approach to lipedema management, preserving lymphatic function whilst removing and tightening excess tissue. This means better outcomes, reduced complications, and faster recovery.
If you experience unexplained leg swelling, pain, or disproportionate fat distribution, a specialist assessment is essential. Early intervention can prevent progression and significantly improve quality of life.
