When is lipedema surgery indicated?

The indication occurs when, despite clinical treatment, the patient continues to present symptoms or changes that compromise their quality of life.

There is no single rule. The decision depends on the progression of the condition, the complaints, and the individual assessment of each patient.

And, when surgery is indicated, preparation and follow-up are fundamental for a good recovery.
