How many surgeries are needed to treat lipoedema?

This will depend on the stage and the individual patient:

• Stage 1 typically requires one operation
• Stage 2 may require between one and three operations
• Stage 3 may require more

My philosophy is always to achieve the best possible outcome in as few surgeries as safely possible. Fewer operations mean less exposure to anaesthesia, fewer recovery periods and better overall health outcomes.

Every patient is different, which is why a personalised surgical plan is essential.

A consultation allows us to assess your symptoms, medical history, and individual circumstances to determine whether surgery may be an appropriate option for you.

If you've been waiting for a diagnosis before seeking advice, you don't have to wait to start the conversation.

Every procedure is tailored. Every detail matters.

Lipoedema surgery isn’t about removing fat. It’s about carefully targeting the diseased tissue while protecting the surrounding structures to achieve the best possible outcome.

Years of experience, meticulous planning, and surgical precision are what make the difference.

If you’re considering lipoedema surgery and want to understand your options, book a consultation to discuss the right treatment plan for you.

“Lipoedema isn't a real condition.”

It's a myth that too many people still hear.

Lipoedema is a recognised chronic condition that can cause pain, swelling, bruising, and reduced mobility. It is not caused by laziness or lack of willpower, and diet and exercise alone do not eliminate lipoedema fat.

Awareness leads to understanding, earlier diagnosis, and better support.

Smoking and surgery don’t mix.

Smoking significantly reduces blood flow to your skin and tissues, making it harder for your body to heal after surgery. This increases the risk of delayed wound healing, infection and poor scarring.

If you’re planning elective plastic surgery, stopping smoking before your procedure is one of the most important steps you can take to reduce complications and give yourself the best possible outcome.

Your recovery starts long before the day of surgery.

A transformative journey at the clinic.

Rather than removing a large volume in one operation, the treatment was strategically divided to prioritize safety, reduce surgical stress on the body and protect the delicate lymphatic system.

A measured, specialist approach makes all the difference.

Can you still go through IVF if you have lipoedema?

It’s a question many patients understandably worry about. In my experience, I’ve seen patients with lipoedema proceed with IVF and pregnancy without any significant issues directly related to the condition.

While every patient should be assessed individually, I would not recommend delaying plans to have children purely because of lipoedema, especially when age can also affect fertility and pregnancy outcomes.

Always discuss your individual circumstances with your fertility specialist and medical team so you can make the right decision for you.

Not all leg swelling is the same. Could it be lipoedema?

Lipoedema is often mistaken for weight gain or lymphoedema, leaving many women undiagnosed for years.
Recognising the signs is the first step towards understanding your condition and accessing the right support.

If you’ve noticed persistent swelling, tenderness, easy bruising or a feeling of heaviness in your legs, it may be time to speak to a specialist.

At The Karri Clinic, we’re committed to helping patients navigate their diagnosis with expert care, personalised treatment plans and compassionate support every step of the way.
