This June, during Lipoedema Awareness Month, we’ve done something simple but powerful: we’ve listened.
We’ve listened to patients who’ve spent years chasing answers. To women who’ve been told to “just lose weight”. To those who’ve endured pain in silence – misunderstood, misdiagnosed and too often dismissed.
What we now know – and need everyone to understand is:
• Lipoedema is not caused by lifestyle choices.
• It’s not about willpower or weight.
It’s a real medical condition involving painful, often symmetrical fat distribution – frequently mistaken for obesity or lymphoedema. Early diagnosis and practical support can dramatically change someone’s quality of life.
At Patient Choice, we’re standing up with the lipoedema community to challenge outdated assumptions and reshape the support that patients receive. That starts with listening – and continues with action.
How we help
Whether a patient has just received a diagnosis or have been managing the condition for years, we offer compassionate, practical support through:
• Prescription compression garment services that are simple and stress-free.
• A team that understands—because we’ve trained to meet you where you are.
• Flexible retail options if you’re self-funding or exploring additional choices.

Lipoedema isn’t rare. It’s just rarely recognised. But that’s changing.
Together, we’re breaking the silence, confronting the stigma, and building a future where lipoedema is met with understanding, not judgment.
Because everyone deserves to feel seen. And heard.
