Want to treat lipedema before summer? You might still have time, but the calendar matters☀️

Some procedures require more lead time due to recovery, while others can be performed in the office with a timeline closer to the season.

The key is understanding which treatment is indicated for your case and how much time you need to recover comfortably, especially when sun exposure is involved.

If you want to reach summer already taking care of your lipedema, don’t leave this decision to the last minute. Schedule your consultation and discover which options still make sense for you!

Summer is coming up soon and you want to know if there is still time to treat your lipedema for summer. So go back to page 1, because lipedema is something you have to treat for the rest of your life if you have it. But I understand, you want to know if it’s possible to do some procedures to improve the aesthetics of your leg area before summer. The answer is yes, we have some alternatives and it’s good that you do it now. Because when summer arrives, any bruising or swelling will have subsided and you’ll be in better shape to enjoy the outdoors. So the first point, if there’s urgency, can it still be done before summer? Definitely. Of course, you need to move a bit faster. But if you have surgery by November, October or so, you will have the main recovery period where you need to stay away from the sun for the first three months. After that time, you still cannot expose scars directly to the sun. Where there are scars from the procedure, where it is still bruised. But with protection, you can already do some outdoor activities. So you need to speed things up, but it is still possible to do. Other procedures that you can do, which I highlight, is subcision of areas where lipedema has left some irregularity. With the application of biosculptors as well. So biosculptors you can apply in areas that have laxity. And subcision you do in areas that have some irregularity, which we call cellulite. In lipedema it is like cellulite, but it has a broader pathophysiology. So these procedures that cause bruising are also possible for you to do. And then you will have a little time where it will be bruised and such. And then the skin appearance will be better for you to enjoy the outdoors.
