Edit It’s important to protect the lymphatic system

<div>Dr Gupta:</div> <div> </div> <blockquote> <div><em>“When a patient wants to save money and get everything done in one go, I think that’s a very wrong approach to consider. There’s no price tag that one can put on one’s wellbeing and life.”</em></div> </blockquote> <div> </div> <h2>It’s important to protect the lymphatic system</h2> <div>Lipoedema is a condition that we still do not know enough about, however, it is known to eventually develop into lymphoedema. For this reason, it is important to avoid as much damage to the lymphatic system as possible - which may not be possible with traditional liposuction.</div> <div> </div> <div>Although it may sound appealing to go with a doctor that claims they can remove 6-7 litres of fat via liposuction, this is probably crossing a line for your safety and wellbeing. The large cannulas used for traditional liposuction do a significant amount of damage to the lymphatic system that your body will not be able to fully repair.</div> <div> </div> <div>Whereas micro liposuction uses tiny cannulas that have a 2mm diameter, causing a limited amount of damage to the lymphatic system. Lymphatic damage is inevitable with any liposuction procedure, however, the damage caused by microlipo will be repaired by the body within six weeks post-procedure.</div> <div> </div> <div>Dr Gupta:</div> <div> </div> <blockquote> <div><em>“With lipoedema, there is always that risk of lymphoedema. We want to avoid damage to the lymphatic system as best as possible and that is the biggest factor that any lipoedema sufferer considering liposuction should bear in mind.”</em></div> </blockquote> <div> </div> <h2>Seek a procedure that causes minimal damage</h2> <div>Traditional liposuction and the removal of large amounts of fat can cause damage that goes beyond the lymphatic system. The large cannulas used during liposuction are typically connected to devices that generate a significant amount of heat that can damage the skin from the inside. When you suffer from such an uncomfortable condition as Lipoedema, it is important not to cause yourself any more discomfort, even in the process of trying to treat it.</div> <div> </div> <div>Dr Gupta advises:</div> <div> </div> <blockquote> <div><em>“Lipoedema liposuction is not straightforward and there are lots of points to consider. Micro doesn’t mean less and bigger doesn’t mean better. There are lots of factors to understand and people can only get to know them once they see the doctor.”</em></div> </blockquote>
