Lipedema is a chronic, progressive fat distribution disorder. It is classified into three stages and four types.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While staging lipedema considers the appearance of the skin and the tissue, which parts of the body are affected becomes relevant when classifying the types of lipedema.<\/b><\/p>\n

Type 1<\/b>: The subcutaneous fat accumulates mainly around the buttocks and hips. The result is the \u2018riding breeches\u2019 look.<\/p>\n

Type 2<\/b>: Lipedema extends to the knees. More fat accumulates on the insides of the knees.<\/p>\n

Type 3<\/b>: The disease extends from the hips to the ankles. The feet are not affected.<\/p>\n

Type 4<\/b>: The lipedema now also affects the arms. Wrists and hands are not affected.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
