Lipedema is one of the most underdiagnosed fat disorders worldwide. It is estimated that anywhere from 10 to 18 million women in the United States alone have Lipedema. That means nearly 11 percent of the female population suffers from this connective tissue disorder.
At Total Lipedema Care, we have created the most advanced techniques to relieve pain and help those suffering from lipedema to improve their quality of life.
Lipedema is a congenital fat disorder that painfully develops on the abdomen, buttocks, arms, thighs, knees, and calves. It is often mistaken for obesity or lymphedema, but it is a unique condition that requires treatment from a skilled surgeon.
Having an initial consultation at Total Lipedema Care with our world-renowned lipedema experts Dr. Jaime S. Schwartz and Dr. Karen Herbst is your first step into getting the medical help you need. Diet and exercise do not combat this disorder.
At Total Lipedema Care, we offer exclusive surgical and non-surgical treatment options to improve your pain and mobility. If left untreated, lipedema can progressively diminish the softness of your skin, your mobility, your self-esteem, and the quality of your life. You can live pain free!
Lipedema surgical coverage is not an easy task, but it is also not impossible. Dr. Schwartz has led the industry in helping insurance companies understand this is a necessary treatment. It will take a good deal of work on your part to be successful, but we have seen a lot of patients receive coverage. The team at Total Lipedema Care is here to guide you through this process.
