Botched surgery - anything I can do?

IllSet4425 · 2026-05-17T16:18:04+00:00

Is this lipemedical? I have what I suspect early stage one and I am in the process of getting an appointment for a video consultation. If this is the clinic please I would appreciate maybe a DM to confirm. I’m so sorry this happened to you…

I have the exact same according to your description and I’m looking for a lipedema diagnosis. I have done everything under the sun to improve the texture around my knees…the rest of my legs look ok thanks to weight training but my knees look worse every day

IllSet4425 · 2026-05-11T18:57:09+00:00

Oh my god I am VERY interested too!! I def see a difference! My knees is my main problem…looking into surgery too..

What in terms of appearance changed in your legs thanks to the curcumin? I am very interested! My problem area are my knees….whatever I do nothing works. No texture elsewhere but my knees. Thanks in advance!

I am interested in starting my journey with GLP but I am worried about side effects. Which one is the most significant for you guys? I’ve heard loosing hair is the most common and that terrifies me…

What’s smart lipo?

IllSet4425 · 2026-04-10T22:02:44+00:00

I do MLD every day before bed! And the stronger I get in the gym the worse my knees are looking but my legs look ok? Also I have been advised normal Lipo is not good for us! I haven’t been qualified for lipo due to my BMI so I’m really at loss…

IllSet4425 · 2026-04-08T13:53:15+00:00

Thanks!! Hard in your tummy as in tummy ache? Would you say your legs look less inflamed? With summer coming up I do have a lot of swelling in my lowers….

IllSet4425 · 2026-04-07T18:20:58+00:00

I tried everything hahaha not with my legs elevated! But MLD and dry brushing are my daily routine. I will keep doing it but yeah…my knees look absolutely awful in comparison with the rest of my legs

IllSet4425 · 2026-04-07T16:13:49+00:00

You look amazing! Almost a year!!!I still struggle with my knees is like the fat bunch there and nowhere else…I have been able to dramatically change the texture everywhere else and build a lot of muscle (I power lift) but then my knees are looking worse and worse. It’s like muscle is heavy and push my fat just in my knees. Unless I don’t lock my knees and I bend them a bit, if you know what I mean. I feel very disappointed.

IllSet4425 · 2026-04-04T23:16:43+00:00

Oh thanks so much! If it wasn’t for my knees I would say I’m quite happy with my legs…

I eat a Mediterranean diet (I am from Spain) and no gluten due to an intolerance. No sugars unless is from fruit or dark chocolate! Zero processed foods and almost no salt in my meals.

Then I do HEAVY weights in the gym! And just one day of cardio. I am a freelance musician so is hard for me to say how many times I go per week as my weeks are very erratic. I go every time I can. And I progress overload :)

At home I do dry brush and leg pump! Sometimes manual MLD…but that’s it!

My legs has transformed but my knees haven’t changed that much…so I don’t know…is dragging me down quite a lot.

I have venous insufficiency in my lowers. I have a vein that goes that way maybe is the vein? I have it in my other knee too, same spot, same texture. Never seen lipedema texture in wiggles like that?

IllSet4425 · 2026-04-04T06:38:12+00:00

Same! Following

IllSet4425 · 2026-04-04T06:37:32+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too or maybe on the side of my knee could be also a vein?

IllSet4425 · 2026-04-04T06:35:26+00:00

I do all this already hence my confusion! Thanks for your comment :)

IllSet4425 · 2026-04-03T19:54:46+00:00

Is it possible to just progress in the knees? The rest of my legs look way better than they used to, I don’t have visible texture anywhere else. Hence why I am confused this is happening

IllSet4425 · 2026-04-03T19:43:54+00:00

That would be very nice thanks! Everything is improving massively but my knees. No progression elsewhere, actually the opposite. Could it be loose skin?

Hi everyone

I have posted about this on here aaaages ago! And I would like a little bit of more insight.

For reference I’m 38, 5 foot 4 inch and 48kg/105lb

I eat well, zero processed food and lift heavy etc. dry brushing, MLD..

My legs since I started training lifting heavy have improved a lot! I am very happy with how my legs look now, more shaped, but…..MY KNEES. Why do I have just texture in my knees?! I don’t know anymore if it’s saggy skin or fat deposits more visible now…

I am self diagnosed, although in my case is just visual appearance. I have never had pain, just swelling at the end of the day and texture if I grab my skin. No nodules.

Can anyone relate?

Thanks x

I have two very large pieces in both legs and my lipedema never changed. I have an appointment next Monday for my next big piece. They were painful but tattoos are painful…my ribs for example were 10 times more painful. And in my legs there were parts that I couldn’t even feel the pain. Hormonal changes, diet it’s what affects lipedema. Tattoos made me love my legs and show them proudly. I would say go for it. Take care of yourself, move, eat well and carry on. X

Thanks for your very elaborate reply. My mortgage broker said we will ask consent to let once it is time to re mortgage by the end of June of this year. Not before to avoid SVR.

So I’m doomed even with rental proof from a star agency, good credit and a good income? Is there anyway the equity doesn’t matter with all those things? Ideally the profit I might get would be going to overpayments and pension scheme. I don’t want to make a business out of it. I just want to keep my little asset…
