About event
The Cultural Scope of El Corte Inglés and the publisher Contraponto are pleased to invite you to the presentation of the book Lipedema – How to Treat "Fat Leg Disease", by Joana de Carvalho, to be held on December 9th at 6:30 pm, at Cultural Scope Room at El Corte Inglés in Lisbon.
Synopsis
«You have swollen legs», «you have a lot of fluid retention» or even « you should exercise more and lose weight» are phrases that many women with lipedema have become accustomed to hearing. Still a neglected diagnosis by many health professionals, “fatty leg disease” is often confused with obesity or edema, with patients ending up seeing their complaints ignored or devalued.
After by Pernas Lindas – How to have the legs you always dreamed of, Joana de Carvalho now addresses, in a direct, enlightening and empathetic way, lipedema, a chronic disease that has such an impact on the quality of life and self-esteem of many women.
Considered the most prestigious vascular surgeon in the treatment of lipedema, the author uses the voices of the many women she has helped and explains what the disease consists of, what the warning symptoms are and, most importantly, how to treat it. Pointing out a path of health and hope, it shows how it is possible to regain mobility, joy and pride when looking in the mirror.
