Summary
- The Karri Clinic shared lipoedema content every day in June for Lipoedema Awareness Month.
- Mr Karri explains why awareness matters: many patients live with lipoedema for decades before a proper diagnosis.
Here, Mr Vasu Karri, Plastic Surgeon at The Karri Clinic, talks about why it's so important to raise awareness of lipoedema, noting that patients he sees have often had their quality of life hugely affected by the disease, and often lived with it for decades before a proper diagnosis.
We have asked for the help of many lipoedema ladies, who have bravely come forward to tell their story about the condition, and for that, we are very thankful.
