What to Expect During the Lipedema Summit

Summit Info

The Lipedema Summit is designed to be an educational, supportive, and easy-to-follow experience for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Lipedema.

Over three days, attendees will hear from leading clinicians, surgeons, therapists, researchers, and patient advocates who are actively working in the field. Each session is structured as a focused conversation, allowing experts to explain complex topics in a way that is accessible and meaningful for both patients and professionals.

Whether someone is newly diagnosed, exploring treatment options, or supporting a loved one with Lipedema, the summit aims to provide clear insight into the many aspects of this condition.


A Three-Day Educational Experience

June 10–12, 2026

The summit takes place over three days, with new sessions released throughout each day.

Attendees can log in and watch sessions as they become available, creating a structured but flexible learning experience. Each day focuses on a key stage in understanding and navigating Lipedema.

Day 1: June 10

Diagnosis & Conservative Care

The summit begins by building a clear foundation for understanding Lipedema.

Sessions on the first day explore how Lipedema is diagnosed, how it differs from obesity and lymphedema, and the early decisions many patients face when navigating care.

Topics include:

• Understanding Lipedema and the diagnostic process
• Differentiating Lipedema from obesity and lymphedema
• Lymphatic health and supportive therapies
• Nutrition and inflammation considerations
• Hormone factors and daily management strategies

The goal of Day One is to provide clarity and context so attendees can better understand what they are experiencing and the options available to them.

Day 2: June 11

Surgery & Post-Operative Care

Day Two takes a deeper look at surgical pathways and recovery considerations.

Experienced surgeons and clinicians discuss candidacy, techniques, potential risks, and what thoughtful post-operative care truly involves. These conversations are designed to provide balanced information that helps attendees understand both the possibilities and the responsibilities involved in surgical treatment.

Topics include:

• Surgical treatment approaches
• Candidacy and evaluation considerations
• Risks and expected outcomes
• Recovery timelines and post-operative care
• Long-term results and patient experiences

Special In-Person Event: Downtown Los Angeles

As part of the summit, a limited in-person gathering will take place on June 11 in Downtown Los Angeles, broadcast to the virtual audience.

This special event brings together select doctors, speakers, and attendees in an intimate setting designed for deeper discussion and meaningful conversation. In-person participants will have a unique opportunity to engage directly with experts while the broader summit audience can watch the live broadcast.

Space is limited, so please secure your ticket early.

Day 3: June 12

Long-Term Management & The Future

The final day focuses on life beyond diagnosis or surgery.

Experts explore long-term management strategies, ongoing health considerations, and emerging research shaping the future of Lipedema care.

Topics include:

• Long-term care strategies
• Inflammation and metabolic considerations
• Hormone balance and systemic health
• Emotional wellbeing and body image
• New research and the evolving understanding of Lipedema

Day Three helps attendees think beyond immediate treatment decisions and consider how to support long-term health and quality of life.

Conversations With Leading Experts

One of the most valuable aspects of the summit is the opportunity to hear directly from professionals who specialize in Lipedema care.

Sessions are structured as hosted conversations rather than lectures. This format allows experts to explain research, clinical insights, and practical considerations in a way that feels approachable and easy to follow.

Attendees will also hear from patient advocates who share their experiences navigating diagnosis, treatment decisions, and daily life with Lipedema.

Live Access and Flexible Viewing Options

Registration for the summit is free, allowing attendees to watch sessions during the live event as they are released across the three days.

Each session is available for a limited time during the live broadcast.

For those who prefer to watch at their own pace or revisit sessions later, an optional All-Access Pass provides extended replay access along with additional educational resources.

A Space for Education, Awareness, and Community

The Lipedema Summit was created to bring together trusted information, expert perspectives, and patient experiences in one place.

For many attendees, the summit may be the first time they hear clinicians openly discuss the complexities of Lipedema and validate the experiences of those living with the condition.

Our hope is that the summit provides not only education, but also clarity, support, and connection for the many people navigating this journey.
