Treating Lipedema Shown By Dr. David Greuner On 9 News, DC and 12 News, San Antonio, TX
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 06, 2014 -- “Lipedema is a devastating fat disorder that affects the quality of life for an estimated 17 million women in the U.S. alone, yet the disease is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed, and consequently left untreated,” says Dr. David Greuner, surgical director of Lipedema Centers in New York and New Jersey. “Lipedema causes a disproportionate appearance, with the legs and sometime the arms growing progressively larger.”
“Conservative treatments may reduce pain, however these non-surgical treatments don’t seem to have any long-term effect on the abnormal fat tissue,” says Dr. Greuner. “The good news is that proper diagnosis and treatment can slow or even stop the progression of lipedema and relieve many of the accompanying symptoms. That’s why Lipedema Centers has launched a national public awareness campaign to educate patients on the symptoms, diagnosis and the most effective treatments for lipedema.”
A recent interview with Dr. Greuner and a patient is now showing on numerous local TV news broadcasts across the country, including NBC, ABC and CBS affiliates. View the news story by clicking on this link: http://youtu.be/g2krWPRwGvA
Lipedema is treatable.
“With early diagnosis we can often prevent a significant expansion of diseased fat cells,” says Dr. Greuner. “Tumescent lymph sparing liposuction has been shown to be the only treatment for lipedema to show long-term success. Lymph sparing liposuction has produced promising results in the reduction of pain caused by lipedema and lessens the need for other therapies such as compression.”

“I believe that the main reason that effective treatment for lipedema has been unavailable is the lack of education," says Dr. Greuner. "While lipedema has been treated for years in Europe, in the U.S. it is a relatively new condition to the medical community.”
“Many women who have been living with the significant effects of lipedema thought they were just overweight and couldn’t understand what was going on with their bodies,” says Dr. Greuner. “They are now discovering that they have an actual disease and that it is treatable. We are seeing patients from every part of the country who are relieved to see that there is finally help available with diagnosis, non-surgical and definitive surgical treatment of lipedema, all at one location.”
