Clinician’s Guide to Lipedema

In this guide, you will find highlights on common presentation, physical examination, patient history, ICD codes, common treatments, and referrals. We hope this guide will empower clinicians to feel more confident diagnosing Lipedema. The Lipedema Foundation believes that every person deserves a timely diagnosis, disease-specific care, and other forms of support.
