Clinical Foundations

Foundations of Lipedema Care

Erika Schlick · Dr. Max Sirota · Dr. Jose Carlos Martinez

Two surgeons discuss why lipedema care must extend beyond surgery, including earlier diagnosis, conservative therapy, ethical treatment planning, and the value of a coordinated multidisciplinary model.

Research

Lipedema: Could It Be The Genes?

Erika Schlick · Dr. Karen Herbst

Dr. Karen Herbst examines evidence that lipedema can run in families, what inherited patterns may tell us about the condition, and where genetic research remains incomplete.

Rethinking Lipedema as a Systemic Tissue Disorder

Erika Schlick · Dr. Patricia Froes Meyer, PhD

Dr. Patricia Froes Meyer reframes lipedema through tissue health and systemic contributors, connecting inflammation, fibrosis, pain, and mobility with evidence-based conservative treatment approaches.

Vascular Dysfunction in Lipedema

Erika Schlick · Dr. Vitor Gornati

Dr. Vitor Gornati explores vascular dysfunction in lipedema and how changes in blood vessels and tissue fluid dynamics may contribute to symptoms, disease progression, and clinical decision-making.

Unusual Lipedema Signs And Symptoms

Erika Schlick · Dr. Karen Herbst · Dr. Sara Al-Ghadban, PhD

Dr. Karen Herbst and researcher Dr. Sara Al-Ghadban examine less-recognized signs and symptoms of lipedema, connecting clinical observations with emerging research into adipose biology, hormones, inflammation, and vascular changes.

Lipedema Summit

Post-Surgical Care Panel: MLD, Compression, and Recovery

Erika Schlick · Tina Tsan, DAOM, CLT · Angelica Vanessa

The difference between starting manual lymphatic drainage on day two versus week four shows up directly in tissue quality and fibrosis development. This session covers how MLD works, why it should begin within one to three days of surgery, and how session frequency is structured across the first six weeks and beyond. Compression dosage, the widespread misconception that tighter garments sculpt the body, how seromas form and when they require medical intervention, and how low sodium, high protein, and hydration support lymphatic drainage are all addressed in practical detail. The conversation also covers the surgery blues, the cortisol drop that affects most patients around days six to ten, why mental health and support systems need to be part of recovery planning from the start, and how to find a qualified post-operative MLD therapist when a surgical team is not nearby.

Lipedema Summit

Physiotherapy in Lipedema: From Inflammation to Long-Term Care

Erika Schlick · Nicole Steiner Bejar · Ana Rosa Fernández Mora · Angela Villella

The tissue changes in Lipedema involve chronic low-grade inflammation, connective tissue rigidity, fascial restriction, lymphatic compromise, and early biomechanical compensation patterns that appear before any visible limitation develops. This session covers how physiotherapy addresses each of those layers, why pre-surgical inflammation control directly affects surgical outcomes and recovery predictability, and what post-surgical modalities including magnetotherapy, Godoy therapy, light therapy, and deep oscillation contribute to tissue healing. The conversation also addresses how movement must be individualized to avoid triggering more inflammation, why high-impact exercise worsens edema and pain, and why more treatment does not consistently produce better outcomes. Three physiotherapists from Spain, Chile, and the Lipedema Team share how their approaches have evolved and why making the patient an active participant in their own care is one of the most important shifts in long-term disease management.
