Meet Kristy, a thirty-one-year-old patient from Queensland.

Following her diagnosis, Kristy underwent eight months of conservative management, in order to prepare for surgery.

In July 2022, Kristy underwent her first of three surgeries with Dr Lekich. Utilising a protocol to manage underlying venous disease and a Lymph-Sparing technique, the Lipoedema-Extraction surgery resulted in 7 litres of diseased fat being extracted from Kristy’s posterior thighs. In September, Kristy underwent her subsequent second surgery, also on the posterior of her thighs which resulted in a further 6.2 litres being extracted. Thirdly, in November, Kristy underwent her third surgery on the anterior of her upper legs and the back of her knee, which resulted in 5.5 litres being extracted.

All before and after results shown were performed by Lipoedema Surgical Solution doctors. The results shown are only relevant for these patients and do not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience, as results may vary due to many factors including the individual’s genetics, diet and exercise. Any surgical procedure carries risks. Patients should seek a second opinion.
