TREATMENT OPTIONS & THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY CARE
Although the true cause of lipedema remains unknown, there are effective ways to manage this disease. Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT) is commonly used as a treatment and involves light massage therapy, utilizing a pump-and-scoop motion towards the heart to drain excess lymphatic fluid. Compression garments are also essential for maintaining the results of CDT. In more advanced cases, liposuction can directly address the deposits of fat associated with lipedema.
If you think you might be suffering from lipedema, don’t wait to seek treatment. Lipedema only worsens the longer it is left untreated. Give Dr. Wright a call today and schedule a consultation to see how he can help you manage this condition and regain your confidence.
