Treating Lipedema in Chicago with Dr. Sameer Kapadia
Those who suffer from lipedema understand that this condition can cause discomfort, inconvenience, and pain, as well as embarrassment and emotional distress. Patients dealing with the symptoms of lipedema also understand that this can be an extremely difficult condition to treat and often feel that they may have to just live with it. But with Lipedema treatment in Chicago with Dr. Sameer Kapadia, an innovative combination of methods can provide life-changing results.
A Chronic Diagnosis
What is Lipedema?
Lipedema is a chronic condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of adipose tissue or fat, primarily in the legs, thighs, buttocks, and sometimes the arms, while not appearing in the hands and feet, often resulting in a disproportionate body shape. Symptoms of this condition can include swelling, tenderness, bruising, and pain in the affected areas. Despite a healthy diet and activity, it can be difficult or nearly impossible to eliminate this excess fat without intervention.
Multiple Avenues
How is Lipedema treated?
While there is no cure for lipedema, there are strategies and treatments that can help alleviate symptoms, in many cases, for long periods of time. If initial lipedema treatments like compression or weight management don’t provide enough relief, there are some more ambitious methods that may offer a better solution and could be used alone or in combination.
As one of the most common treatments for lipedema, liposuction is specifically tailored to remove excess fat deposits while preserving healthy lymphatic tissue. Advanced liposuction techniques offer effective fat reduction with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues, resulting in smoother contours and improved comfort. Dr. Kapadia has used large-volume liposuction to help many qualified patients treat the disease effectively and aesthetically.
When conservative therapies have failed to produce results, liposuction and skin excision are the mainstays of Lipedema treatment. This option involves the surgical removal of affected tissue in more severe problem areas and is especially beneficial with dense, fibrotic tissue that may not respond well to other treatments. Surgical excision ensures precise reshaping and improved symptoms.
QuantumRF is a non-surgical treatment that combines radiofrequency energy and microneedling to tighten skin, reduce fat deposits, and improve the appearance of lipedema-affected areas. Used for more mild cases of lipedema, QuantumRF can stimulate collagen production, leading to smoother and firmer skin. It’s also used as an adjunct to liposuction to help with skin retraction.
