Premier Lipedema Clinic
Lipedema should not define you. Redefine your normal!
Hello Summer! We are ready for sunny days, outdoor adventures, and making unforgettable memories. Let's make this season one to remember.
A lipedema-trained physician, using history and physical examination, can diagnose lipedema if a constellation of many signs and symptoms are present:
• Excess symmetric fat on hips and legs; feet are spared
• Disproportionate fat in legs compared to trunk and abdomen
• Arms can be affected, but not as severe; hands are spared.
• Hands, feet, and head exhibit minimal fat deposits, starkly contrasting to other areas.
• Fat is not responsive to caloric restriction, weight loss, and/or exercise.
• Activity (recreational endurance) and activities of daily living become limited.
• Minimal pitting edema
• Persistent enlargement of legs despite elevation, medications, or weight loss
• Pain and/or tenderness on palpation, disproportionate to exam
• Vascular fragility, easy bruisability
• Hypothermia of the skin, complaints of cold extremities despite the environment
• Palpable nodules of fat (marbled texture)
• Joint pain in knees and hips in later stages from malalignment due to excessive fatty tissue.
Prioritizing mental health is crucial for individuals living with lipedema, as the emotional impact of this condition can be significant. Seeking support and practicing self-care are essential to managing physical and mental well-being.
Embrace your beauty and express yourself despite having lipedema. Don't let this condition dictate your fashion choices. Love yourself and rock your favorite summer shorts with confidence.

Lymphedema and lipedema are two distinct conditions affecting the body's lymphatic system and fat distribution. Lymphedema is characterized by swelling due to a blockage in the lymphatic system, while lipedema is an abnormal accumulation of fat cells in specific areas of the body.
Consulting with Premier can help you obtain an accurate diagnosis, and treatment options are important.
Therapeutic Lipedema Reduction Surgery (TLRD) is a surgical procedure that aims to reduce the symptoms and improve the quality of life for individuals with lipedema.
The surgery involves removing excess fat deposits through various techniques, such as liposuction, excision, or combining both. The goal is alleviating pain, reducing swelling, and improving mobility and functionality.
Remember to always prioritize your health - it's the foundation for everything else in your life. Take care of yourself first so you can be fully present and effective in all that you do.
Every treatment plan must focus on important areas when treating lipedema, including inflammation reduction, pain management, lymphatic flow improvement, and emotional state support. We provide a full picture of treatment that begins when you speak with Dr. Hagerty to develop your personalized treatment plan.
Lipedema is a complex loose connective tissue syndrome beyond simply having big legs. Understanding lipedema's underlying mechanisms and symptoms is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Lymphatic yoga efficiently moves lymph fluid through its motions and breathing. Diaphragmatic breathing, an integral part of yoga for the lymphatic system, moves lymph fluid from the legs and arms toward the heart. Yoga for lymph drainage can be an effective tool for managing lipedema.
Wishing all the incredible mothers out there a very happy Mother's Day! Your love and dedication are truly unmatched.
Self-love is not selfish; it is essential. Embrace your worth and prioritize your well-being.
Elevating your legs periodically throughout the day may help relieve orthostatic swelling caused by standing. This type of swelling is common during stage 1.
Elevation may also help during later stages when combined with more aggressive treatments.
Happy National Receptionist Day to all the amazing ladies who keep our office running smoothly! Your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed. Thank you for all that you do!
Lipedema is not rare, but a proper diagnosis is rarely made.
Lipedema is often mistaken for obesity and lymphedema, but it is different. It is most often confused with lifestyle-induced obesity, which can create problems for the patient as they search for a doctor who is familiar with the syndrome.
Premier Lipedema Clinic specializes in treating lipedema patients. If you suspect you have lipedema, book your consultation today.
Unfortunately, the medical community still lacks wide awareness and understanding of Lipedema. While lipedema has been around and studied for decades, the United States is still far behind in understanding this syndrome. Even in Europe, where lipedema is recognized and treated more commonly, very little is known about the condition's cause. Please help us raise awareness about lipedema and share our content with your network.
Another symptom of lipedema is vascular fragility. What does this mean?
It means your veins are weaker than normal, often leading to easy bruisability and other health issues.
Do you deal with this symptom? Let's talk about it! We’ll help walk you through your symptoms and show you how best to navigate them daily.
