Lightly Known,
but Heavily Felt
Lipedema is a chronic and painful fat distribution disorder that affects an estimated 1 in 9 women (assigned female at birth).
Lipedema is characterized by a symmetrical and disproportionate accumulation of fatty tissue in the legs, hips, and arms, often accompanied by pain, heightened sensitivity to touch, mobility challenges, difficulty losing weight, and reduced quality of life.
Although it presents with distinct symptoms, lipedema is frequently misunderstood or misdiagnosed.
While there is no cure, various treatments can help alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.
