Meet Georgina, a 24-year-old-patient from Ipswich with stage 2, early stage 3 Lipoedema.
Following her period of conservative management, in June 2023 Georgina underwent her first Lipoedema-Extraction surgery with Dr Lekich. Utilising a protocol to manage underlying venous disease and a Lymph-Sparing technique, the Lipoedema-Extraction surgery resulted in 4.9 litres of diseased fat being removed from her lower legs. Subsequently in August 2023, Georgina underwent her second surgery with Dr Lekich on the posterior of her upper legs, which also resulted in a further 4.9 litres of diseased fat being removed from her upper legs. Georgina had her third surgery on October 2023, with that surgery being for the anterior of her upper legs, seeing a total of 5 litres of diseased fat removed.
