Lipoedema Awareness Month

What Is Lipoedema Awareness Month

June is Lipoedema Awareness Month and it is about educating both the medical community and general public about Lipoedema.  We have facilitated a number of awareness campaigns and events as part of our dedication to raising awareness for Lipoedema, helping generations of women get an early diagnosis and intervention, to avoid a lifetime of physical and psychological pain.  The more doctors, allied health professionals and general public who recognise this disease, the better care and compassion we can offer these ladies.

We recently hosted our second annual photoshoot to celebrate women with Lipoedema. Click here to find out more about our beautiful real life Lipoedema models.

As part of Lipoedema Awareness Month we are hosting the following events:

Facebook & Instagram Live with Dr Chris Lekich  – Tuesday 7th June @ 5.30pm (AEST)

Dr Lekich will be answering any questions you may have about Lipoedema, as well as treatment options in a free Q&A session streamed live via Facebook and Instagram.
