Lipedema: understanding it is the first step
A little-known medical condition that many women live with for years without a name. Dr. Luisa Lizcano guides its diagnosis and treatment in Bogotá, with a comprehensive approach.
What it is
More than an aesthetic concern
Lipedema is a chronic disorder of fat tissue that mainly affects women. It causes a disproportionate, usually symmetrical build-up of fat in the legs and sometimes the arms, which does not respond to diet or exercise the way the rest of the body does. That is why it is often mistaken for excess weight.
Commonly described signs
- Legs or arms out of proportion with the rest of the body
- Heaviness or tiredness in the legs
- Tenderness or pain to the touch
- Bruising easily
- Little response to diet and exercise in those areas
No single sign confirms the diagnosis: lipedema is identified in a medical assessment.
