Lipedema is a chronic, progressive disease that causes swelling, pain, and a “pear-shaped” body due to abnormal fat accumulation in the lower limbs.
Water-assisted lymph sparing liposuction (WAL) is a surgical procedure that aims to address the excess fat accumulation and associated symptoms in individuals with lipedema. The procedure involves using a water jet to dislodge and remove the excess fat while sparing the lymphatic vessels to minimize the risk of complications like lymphedema. The outcomes of WAL can vary based on individual factors and the stage of lipedema progression.
It’s important to approach WAL as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may also include lifestyle modifications, compression garments, and ongoing medical management. Regular follow-up appointments with the surgical team are essential for monitoring progress and addressing any concerns that may arise after the procedure.
