💁♂️ This is a case of male Lipedema, which is less common, but absolutely possible.
While the gene is carried as frequently in men as in women, it’s often not expressed unless there’s a hormonal imbalance. In my patient’s case, his mother had Lipedema and actually underwent surgery with us, which helped us recognize the pattern in him as well.
He shows classic signs of Stage 2, Type 2 Lipedema: disproportionate fullness in the thighs and outer thighs, extending to the knees, as well as fullness through the abdomen, torso, arms, and even the forearms. There’s minimal involvement of the calves and ankles, and likely areas of fibrosis.
Awareness matters. Lipedema doesn’t only affect women, and early recognition can change lives.
