Diagnosis Variations and Approaches to Treating Lipedema
- Today, I’d like to share insights from a research paper authored by a group of surgeons affiliated with the Department for Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery at Trinity Hospital in Wesseling, Germany.
- The paper is titled, Differential diagnoses and treatment of lipedema, and was published in the peer-reviewed journal Plastic and Aesthetic Research in March 2020.
