Hello! My name is Kathleen Lisson. I am a Lymphedema Therapist and co-author on the Standard of Care for Lipedema in the United States.

I have put together a resource for my fellow therapists featuring postoperative instructions from surgeons who perform liposuction on patients with lipedema.

This resource is for medical professionals only. Please do NOT access this resource if you are not a medical professional or working with clients with a lipedema diagnosis after plastic surgery is out of your scope of practice.

I communicated with surgeons in early 2023. Their postoperative protocols may have changed since then and this information cannot be used in place of asking your patient's surgeon for up to date information.
