Closed Fund liposuction for Lipoedema sufferers on the NHS

Closed on

Myself and many other Lipoedema sufferers would like Liposuction to be available through the NHS as a form of treatment. This can be an effective form of treatment for Lipoedema, but is often not available on the NHS, and can cost thousands.

At the age of 28 I have been diagnosed with Lipoedema. Lipoedema is a condition where abnormal fat builds up, the most common areas are thighs, buttocks and hips, however it can also effect arms and more.

If effective treatment through liposuction is not made available in a timely way people like me could suffer unnecessarily in the long run, and even face the possibility of becoming disabled.
