Lipoedema is a painful, chronic disease of the subcutaneous adipose tissue, predominantly affecting women. Conservative complex decongestive therapy is the standard of care but offers limited symptom relief. Liposuction appears…

Background: Lipedema is a progressive disorder of subcutaneous connective tissue, predominantly affecting women, and characterized by an increase in subcutaneous adipose tissue, particularly in the lower body. This study aims to…
Background: Postoperative fibrosis is a common and significant complication following liposuction for lipedema, often leading to tissue induration, pain, and compromised aesthetic results. This fibrosis can jeopardize the overall…
Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effects of a multimodal exercise program on edema, pain, exercise capacity, lower extremity muscle strength, and function in patients with lipedema.Methods: The patients diagnosed with…
Ketosis seems to attenuate, or prevent, the rise in both ghrelin concentrations and subjective hunger ratings that follow weight loss. However, most of the previous studies have employed very-low energy diets (VLED) and are…
Lundanes J et al. · Clinical nutrition ESPEN · 19 nov 2024
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) compared with a control diet on pain in female patients with lipedema. The secondary objectives were to compare the impact of the two…
Lundanes J et al. · Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) · 16 abr 2024
Background: Lymphedema and lipedema are debilitating conditions with no proven drug or surgical therapy. Effective treatment requires self-management through movement and compression to reduce limb volume and the incidence of…

Does short-term use of pneumatic compression devices (PCD) and off-the-shelf compression alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life in women with lipedema and secondary lipolymphedema? Prospective, randomized controlled,…
Lipedema is a chronic disorder of the adipose tissue that affects mainly women, characterised by symmetrical, excessive fatty tissue on the legs and pain. Standard conservative treatment is long-term comprehensive decongestive…
Background: Lack of diagnostic awareness of lipedema and frequent confusion with obesity or lymphedema may be an obstacle for treatment. The clinical effects of conservative treatment methods are not clearly known. This study…
Atan T, Bahar-Özdemir Y · Lymphatic research and biology · 9 dez 2020
Purpose: Although the exact prevalence of lipedema is unknown the number of women suffering from this condition is ever-growing. When treated conservatively, manual lymphatic drainage is regarded the gold standard. However, the…
