But was your stocking too tight?? (1/2)

But was your stocking too tight??

The famous “garrote” of type 3 lipedema is that mark on the ankle that looks like a tight stocking… but it’s not a stocking. It’s pathological fat that causes daily discomfort, draws attention, and often generates embarrassment.

Look how it improved after lipedema surgery!! These photos are more than 2 years apart! After the first one, we performed other surgeries in other areas of the body, but we also removed a bit more of the resistant fat from the ankle.

This is one of the characteristics that improves least with clinical treatment alone, and seeing an ankle like this, we already start dreaming about the amount of yellowish fat that will come out!!

But before and after surgery, conservative treatment must be at its peak! For better evolution and to avoid recurrences!! So claps 👏🏻👏🏻 for this dear patient who takes constant care of herself!!

Important: each case is unique, and every surgery involves risks that must be evaluated in consultation.
