Lipedema is a chronic disorder in which fat is stored in the body disproportionately in the upper arms, thighs, knees and ankles. This condition affects millions of individuals and is often misdiagnosed as lymphedema. Left untreated, lipedema can cause complications such as varicose veins, joint damage, discomfort and pain. The Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta (PSI), led by plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey, provides treatment of lipedema to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding locations.
Risks of Lipedema
Lipedema can cause diseases of the veins, joints, as well as cause discomfort, swelling and pain. Those suffering from lipedema can impair mobility, making everyday activities difficult and less enjoyable. Self-confidence can also be damaged as the body is often severely disproportionate. These issues can make the quality of life for those with lipedema very poor.
Treatment
Treatment of lipedema involves personalized care to achieve best results. The most effective treatment options include:
- Liposuction
- Lymphatic drainage
- Nutrition therapy
- Hormone evaluation and therapy
Due to the progressive nature of Lipedema, immediate treatment is recommended to avoid loss of mobility and compromised blood circulation. Plastic surgeon Dr. Paul McCluskey provides customized treatment of lipedema to patients in Atlanta, Marietta, Georgia, and surrounding locations.
