This presentation will provide obesity medicine specialists with a practical roadmap for identifying lipedema, distinguishing it from both obesity and lymphedema, and understanding its most common co-morbidities. We will outline diagnostic strategies and evidence-based interventions, emphasizing the importance of referrals to lymphatic specialists, anti-inflammatory strategies, and supportive therapies that align with the unique pathophysiology of lipedema. With improved recognition and tailored intervention, clinicians will deliver better care for this previously unidentified patient population, enhancing both patient outcomes and quality of life.
