About Lipoedema Surgery Treatment
Unlike with standard liposuction (a cosmetic body-contouring procedure that removes relatively small areas of stubborn fat), the goal of therapeutic liposuction is to remove as much fat as possible. The limit is generally around five liters, but sometimes that amount can go higher, and generally, more than one or several rounds of liposuction are needed to treat lipoedema.

Lipoedema Surgery FAQ
Does lipoedema always affect both legs equally?
Nearly invariably, lipoedema is symmetrical. But when the illness worsens, one leg may become larger than the other.
Does lipoedema worsen with time?
Although lipoedema is a progressive condition, each patient’s rate of progression is different. Although the pace of progression cannot be precisely predicted, it can be reasonably inferred from the rate of progression over the past few years.
After liposuction, can the fat reoccur?
In general, lipoedema liposuction outcomes endure a long time as long as your weight stays fairly stable. Leg size may expand along with the rest of your body if weight gain occurs after liposuction.
