How much time between upper and lower legs lipedema surgery 🤷‍♂️ #lipedema

#lipedemaliposuction #cankles #chubbyknees

Almost every patient with lipedema has some involvement in their upper and lower legs. Since these are often the highest priority for treatment patients want to know how much time do I have to wait between each surgery? I prefer to wait 3 months between upper and lower leg surgery to allow for healing and decreased swelling to occur.

Damaging the drainage system of both the upper and lower legs results in longer and prolonged swelling. This increases discomfort, vein problems, and can lead to fibrosis.

If we're working on different areas of the body, we can often shorten this time to 4-6 weeks between surgical stages. I provide custom treatment plans for each patient because your stage of lipedema and your lifestyle are unique to you!

Does lymphodema typically resolve after the surgery if it was caused by lipedema in the first place?
