This condition can easily be ruled out regarding its diagnosis because it is commonly misdiagnosed as obesity. True diagnosing and optimal management of lipedema show a great importance. As patients suffer from lipedema, not only experiencing physical symptoms such as tenderness or a feeling of heaviness but also psychological symptoms such as anxiety, they cause negative influences on quality of life of a person with lipedema. This paper tries to review all aspects of lipedema from diagnosis to management and assessment options.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLipedemaLymphedemaBody weightObesityDecongestive PhysiotherapyTumescent LiposuctionDielectric-PropertiesArm LymphedemaLipoedemaTissueAdiposeFatDisordersWomenReview Article10.1007/s00238-019-01519-9426549558N/AWOS:0005143634000022-s2.0-85064197666Q3
