  • Demonstrate an understanding of lipedema as a pain syndrome, rather than an edema disease, based on the German S2k guideline on lipedema
  • Differentiate eight common myths from facts regarding the diagnosis and treatment of patients with lipedema, including the belief that lipedema is a common disease
  • Recognize how advanced dynamic compression therapy can improve lipedema fat depth, tissue fluid, signs and symptoms and quality of life in women living with lipedema
  • Describe how we use GLP-1 agonists to reduce weight and improve quality of life for women with lipedema
  • Identify additional supplements and medications that are useful for the treatment of lipedema.
  • Describe two different types of fibrosis commonly occurring in lipedema
  • Describe three different types of fibrosis that occur in both lipedema and lymphedema
  • Name three current treatment strategies for lipedema-related fibrosis
  • Recognize the basic differences between lymphedema and lipedema diagnosis and conservative, non-surgical treatment
  • Identify the basic differences between lymphedema and lipedema types of surgical treatment
