Clinician’s Guide

The Clinician’s Guide to Lipedema is a comprehensive educational resource developed to support healthcare providers in recognizing, diagnosing, and managing Lipedema. This desk reference guide includes current clinical insights, diagnostic considerations, and treatment approaches to help improve patient care and clinical understanding of this underdiagnosed condition.

While designed specifically for clinicians, patients and caregivers may also request or print this guide to share with their healthcare providers as part of informed, collaborative care discussions.

Treatment Diagram

The Lipedema Treatment Diagram is a visual educational tool that illustrates the multi-faceted approach to Lipedema care. It highlights the interconnected components of treatment, including medical management, lifestyle considerations, and supportive therapies, in an easy-to-understand format.

This resource is helpful for patients navigating treatment options and for clinicians seeking a clear, visual reference to support conversations with individuals affected by Lipedema. Clinicians report that having this resource as a printed handout is helpful for educational conversations with patients at the beginning of their treatment journeys and throughout the care process.

LF has catalogued more information about each of these treatments in our Treatment Tables which can be found at lipedema.org/treatments

Lipedema Brochure

The Lipedema Foundation Brochure features key questions and shows what to look for in diagnosing Lipedema. We have disseminated hundreds of thousands of brochures internationally and hear from patients and clinicians alike that this is a critical tool for awareness and education. We encourage you to order the brochures to facilitate conversations and promote understanding of Lipedema in your community.
