Lower Limb Lipoedema Liposuction || Part One || Stage 3 Lipoedema

In the first of four videos, Mr Karri is seen showing us his patient, a lady with advanced, Stage 3 lipoedema. She shows all the classic symptoms of the disease, including ankle (cankle) deformity, pre-tibial fat pads, her knees are encased in fat and her feet are spared. She has no pitting edema and column like lower limbs. The first stage of her operation will see Mr Karri liposuction from her ankles to her mid thighs.

I'm guess this is just not something available on the NHS? My Mother has suffered with lymphedema for about 10 years and it's just never been treated properly under NHS care.

I have really fat arms from under the upper arms. my legs were getting fat over my knees and legs felt very heavy when I was getting out of bed in the morning. I am gluten free . infant any grain causes me problems. then I started pain pills for extreme hip pain . now that's better but can't eat much . so I lost some weight and my legs are better. my arms are forever fat. I have some kind of arthritis so the Dr said. but the swelling over my knees and the heavy legs was making me think lipademia. I will try and loose more weight. I was 140 the other day but think it up by now. I think weight is a cause. Dr are just afraid to say that to the obesit patients. they would have to loose and incredible amount of weight and the patient will never do that.
