Lipoedema Misconceptions "Weight Loss Can Treat Lipoedema,"
Let's set the record straight! Lipoedema is a chronic fat disorder, not regular weight gain. Diet and exercise can improve overall health but they won’t get rid of Lipoedema fat.
Why it’s confusing? Lipoedema is often misdiagnosed as obesity. Many people are told to “just lose weight” but Lipoedema fat is resistant to diet and exercise.
What actually helps? Compression therapy, Manual lymphatic drainage, Gentle movement, In some cases, surgery. These aren’t cures, but will manage the disease.
You’re not to blame! If you’ve tried everything and still struggle, it’s not your fault.
Don’t hesitate to comment or DM us.

Lipoedema Awareness Month Photoshoot 2023
In 2023, we photographed another group of incredible women who stepped forward to share their stories and raise awareness. Many spoke openly about pain and the frustration of being misdiagnosed, but also about strength and advocacy.
Some reminded us that “your body does not define you, you define you.” Others called for Medicare to recognise the condition and for earlier diagnosis, so fewer women are left to navigate it alone.
These women showed up for visibility, connection and change.

Lipoedema Awareness Month Photoshoot 2022! June is Lipoedema Awareness Month, a time to continue raising awareness and support for women living with this condition.
In 2022, we gathered another remarkable group of women for our second photoshoot. These women shared their stories, their truths and their strength. From acknowledging the constant pain many live with, to highlighting the importance of kindness and self-love, their voices carry a powerful message: Lipoedema is a disease.
This photoshoot was about shining a light on lived experience, building community, and reminding everyone affected that they are not alone.
As we reflect on this moment during Lipoedema Awareness Month, we celebrate the courage of these women and their ongoing fight for recognition and better care.
Stay tuned for more stories and inspiration all month long.

Announcement! Dr Chris Lekich's book, The Fight to Walk With Freedom, is now available for pre-order — with delivery expected in the second half of July. 📕
This book has been years in the making. It’s a memoir, but also a mission — a way to give voice to the countless women I’ve met who’ve spent their lives battling a condition most people have never even heard of: Lipedema.
The first 100 orders will receive a free gift as a small thank you for riding with me from the very beginning.
Importantly, 20% of all proceeds will be donated to Lipedema charities and NFP’s, nominated by the world’s leading experts.
This book is for the women who were told it was “just weight.”
For the families who watched them suffer without answers.
And for a future where that story changes.
Together, we can ride — and speak — for those who have fought too long to be heard.
June is Lipoedema Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on a condition that affects so many women, often without recognition or understanding.
Back in 2021, we hosted our very first awareness photoshoot. We invited women living with Lipoedema to join us for a stylised shoot. Our goal was to create a nurturing and empowering environment where participants could feel safe, glamorous and celebrated.
These incredible women stepped forward. Many shared that they had spent years hiding their legs, with some even noting that their partners had never seen them bare. Despite their fears, they chose to participate to help others feel less alone and to raise awareness about Lipoedema.
This photoshoot is a powerful statement of visibility, strength, and community.

It is our mission and our duty to ensure every patient with Lipoedema maintains appropriate health to avoid significant circulatory and mobility issues, as well as optimise their leg health and treatment outcomes.
We are a medical clinic, not a cosmetic clinic, focused on taking a holistic approach to your health for the best possible outcomes. Your health as a priority and our patients benefit from the aesthetic improvement that flows from the treatment of the medical condition.
Dr Chris Lekich is the medical director of Lipoedema Surgical Solution and Vein Doctors Group.
Lipoedema Surgical Solution offers a protocol that Dr Lekich has adopted in Australia in collaboration with his mentor Dr Heck, from Germany’s LipoClinic. Dr Heck has perfected this surgery in Germany over the last 14 years and Dr Lekich is proud to have adopted his protocol in Australia. The standard of surgery is minimally invasive, not requiring open surgery. This Lipo-Extraction protocol is a medical treatment for Lipoedema of the legs and arms, aiming for a cure of the disease.
Dr Heck and Dr Lekich have a common goal to bring awareness, diagnosis, treatments options and importantly, a surgical solution, to more women globally.
If a surgical solution is appropriate for your condition, you can be reassured that Dr Lekich has a long history of treating patients with complex leg conditions with the support of ultrasound guidance.
Dr Lekich has over 20 years of operating theatre experience ranging from complex microsurgery to intricate modern, non-invasive ultrasound interventions for the treatment of venous and lymphatic conditions.
