Emma’s Story
Surgeries: Lipisuction®, hips, flanks, legs (2 surgeries)
Emma lives in Rhode Island and works as an account executive. She is in her late 50s and came to see Dr. Granzow after struggling with severe lipedema for decades. She started to experience lipedema swelling and symptoms during her first pregnancy that worsened during her second pregnancy. Despite diet and exercise after each pregnancy, lipedema swelling continued to worsen. Her lipedema got even worse during menopause and she developed fat deposits behind her knees. When she saw Dr. Granzow, she was particularly concerned about severe pain, swelling and heaviness, especially below the knees. After Lipisuction® surgeries, Emma feels less pain, swelling and heaviness.
