In this episode, Raeann Sparks explains the five distinct types of lipedema, each with unique characteristics:
Type 1: Resembles a “puffy diaper” effect, with lipedema fat around the hips.
Type 2: Extends to the knees, similar to bloomers or joggers.
Type 3: Reaches the ankles, like harem pants.
Type 4: Affects only the arms, resembling mutton-chopped or poet sleeves.
Type 5: Limited to the calves, like padded greaves.
Each type requires specialized care, as lipedema is not simply excess fat.
