What is Lipedema?

Lipedema is a chronic vascular and inflammatory condition that primarily affects women. It is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fat, most commonly in the legs, but sometimes in the arms and lower trunk.
Unlike ordinary weight gain, lipedema is resistant to diet, exercise, diuretics, and bariatric surgery. Beyond physical appearance, it can lead to pain, tenderness, swelling, easy bruising, and impaired mobility, affecting both physical and emotional well-being.

Main Causes

Hormonal changes play a central role in lipedema, with symptoms often worsening during puberty, pregnancy, menopause, and other times of hormonal fluctuation. Increased estrogen uptake in the lower limbs promotes fat accumulation, creating poorly oxygenated, disorganized tissue that is prone to swelling, cellulite, and discomfort. Genetics and inflammation also contribute to the condition.

Diagnosis Challenges

Lipedema is often misdiagnosed as obesity, lymphedema, or other conditions. There are currently no definitive lab tests, so diagnosis relies on a trained clinician's physical examination and medical history review. Many patients may have lipedema alongside other conditions, highlighting the importance of specialized care.

Why Choose Lipedema Conservative Care at Flow Lymphatic

Living with lipedema is about more than just physical symptoms. Many women experience frustration, self-consciousness, and emotional strain as they navigate a condition that is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed. Swelling, tenderness, and the appearance of disproportionate fat can make daily activities more difficult and affect confidence, body image, and overall well-being.
We understand that lipedema is not a problem you can simply “exercise away” or “diet off.” It is a chronic condition that requires specialized care, patience, and understanding. You may have tried multiple treatments or lifestyle changes without seeing the results you hoped for, and that can feel discouraging.
At Flow Lymphatic, we approach lipedema with empathy and expertise. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive space where your concerns are heard and addressed. Every treatment plan is designed to:
  • Reduce discomfort and swelling
  • Support mobility and circulation
  • Improve the appearance of affected areas
  • Restore confidence and a sense of control over your body
We believe that healing is not only about managing symptoms but also about reclaiming comfort, confidence, and a better quality of life. You are not alone, and every step of your journey is met with understanding, patience, and care.

Your journey to radiant confidence

Tatiana is a magician! I’ve had 8 lymphatic drainage massages post surgery from 3 different therapists and she was the best by far. In addition to doing incredible massage work she also has some very cool technology at her disposal (radio frequency and shock wave machine, infrared light therapy) etc and explained everything she was doing along the way. She also has an absolutely beautiful studio. Tatiana is a lovely person as well and followed up with a bunch of helpful links for follow up stretching exercises and compression gear. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars !

I went to Tatiana for lymphatic drainage after my liposuction procedure. Believe me when I tell you, she is the kindest, most professional aesthetic specialist I have even experienced. All of her techniques are science based; and she always takes the time to explain the "why" behind what she does. During the sessions, Tatiana always prioritizes my comfort, which is so critical during a time your body is healing. She is incredibly detailed oriented, and always strives to help me achieve the best results possible. I have seen such a sizable improvement in my stomach smoothness and swelling.

I can’t recommend Tatiana enough! She is so skilled and knowledgeable and it's clear that she cares so much about her clients. I always look forward to my sessions. I started getting weekly massages from Tatiana a month ago because I had a ton of swelling and fibrosis. It's now almost 100% better and I'm so happy with the results. If you're thinking about lymphatic drainage massage she is the person to see!

Tatiana has been so helpful in my recovery from multiple surgeries but also helping me manage medical conditions. She is well informed on medical conditions and uses various treatment modalities. I was so uncomfortable post surgery that she went out of her way to give me extra time and sessions that helped reduce my pain. Not only do I feel better, I also look better after the treatments.
-Mannie C
Tatiana is magic. I saw her post-op and my recovery and results were amazing thanks to her skilled hands managing the recovery. She is so great I’m still seeing her 2 years later!
-Connie C
Tatiana has helped me through some challenging times and I honestly do not think I could be in as good a shape as I am without her. Very talented, knowledgeable, empathetic and intelligent. Tatiana is a wonderful help to anyone who wants or needs post-op healing. I recommend her wholeheartedly.
-Michele H
Tatiana healed and supported me not only through expert and cutting edge lymphatic drainage techniques, but also by supplying me with the best compression garments, far better than what my surgeon’s office supplied me with. The compression garments and special pads she gave me actually resolved a seroma that had resulted post surgery without requiring further invasive treatment, and throughout the process she offered both professional and emotional support which I really depended on during that difficult time.
