It is recommended that the treatment process be carried out simultaneously with nutrition and physical therapy exercises. Lipoedema is resistant to low-calorie diet and very intense exercise. A cardiovascular surgeon must be consulted for the diagnosis of lipoedema. Treatment starts after diagnosis. Early diagnosis is important in lipedema. It increases the quality of healthy life,” he said.
