Shownotes

In this discussion, we delve into a paper by Anne Williams published in 2019. Williams reviewed 10 studies from 2006 to 2019 to evaluate the outcomes of liposuction for women with lipedema and Dercum’s disease. She notes that while liposuction is not a cure and may not be suitable for everyone, it is frequently considered when symptoms become severe. However, she emphasizes that there is still insufficient evidence to establish clear criteria for determining who is an ideal candidate for this treatment.
