Lipedema is characterized by increased enlargement of both legs due to deposits of fat beneath the skin. Symptoms of lipedema usually occur in women and begin around times of hormonal change, such as puberty or menopause. Symptoms may include enlargement of the upper legs, arms, pain, and easy bruising. The cause of lipedema is unknown. Many people with lipedema have a family member with lipedema, and it is likely that genetic factors are involved. Diagnosis is based on the symptoms and a clinical exam. Other more common conditions may need to be ruled out before lipedema is diagnosed. Treatment of lipedema is focused on managing the symptoms and includes both non-surgical and surgical methods.
