No referral is needed, but if you’ve seen a doctor or specialist for lipedema in the past, it can be helpful to bring any relevant medical records or test results to the consultation.

This consultation is ideal for individuals who suspect they have lipedema or have been diagnosed and want to explore treatment options.

Unlike general weight gain, lipedema involves the abnormal storage of fat, often leading to pain, tenderness, and swelling in the lower body and arms. The condition is typically resistant to diet and exercise, which is why a specific treatment plan is necessary.

A Lipedema Consultation is a specialized assessment to determine if you are experiencing lipedema, a condition that causes abnormal fat distribution, usually in the legs, hips, and arms.
