lipedema - fat deposit from waist to ankle
Definition for lipedema
Lipedema is a disorder of adipose tissue distinguished by five characteristics: 1) it can be inherited; 2) it occurs almost exclusively in women; 3) it can occur in women of all sizes, from the anorexic to the morbidly obese; 3) it involves the excess deposit and expansion of fat cells in an unusual and particular pattern – bilateral, symmetrical and usually from the waist to a distinct line just above the ankles; and 4) unlike the “normal" fat of obesity, lipedemic fat cannot be lost through diet and exercise.

Surgery is highly controversial, and in many cases, can make the condition worse.
