This 61 year old patient received a stage 3 Lipoedema diagnosis from Dr Lekich with underlying Lymphodema. Conservative management protocols were then implemented, utilising a ketogenic diet, medical grade compression and regular manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) appointments.
Following positive results with conservative management, the patient decided to go ahead with surgery on her lower legs in November 2020. Using a Lymph Sparing protocol, developed in Germany by Dr Heck, the surgery resulted in 7.1 Litres of diseased fat being removed .
In June 2021, the patient underwent a second surgery on the anterior of her upper legs, resulting in 7 litres being extracted. Finally, in November 2021, the patient underwent her third and final surgery on the posterior of her upper legs, resulting in 8.2 litres being extracted. In total, 22.3 lites of diseased fat was extracted that could not be exercised or dieted away.
