Lipoedema is commonly mistaken for ordinary weight gain, which is why many people live with it for years before it's named. It causes a disproportionate build-up of fat, usually in the legs, hips and sometimes arms, and it doesn't respond to dieting the way general body fat does.

Getting the right diagnosis changes the management entirely. With clinics in Buddina and Buderim, our experienced doctors provide:

  • Assessment and diagnosis of lipoedema
  • Distinguishing lipoedema from lymphoedema and obesity
  • Referral to specialists and allied health where appropriate
  • Ongoing review and support
