Meet Lipedema Team

Lipedema Team is one of the first specialized multidisciplinary Lipedema centers in Mexico, founded by Dr. José Carlos Martínez López and Dr. Max Sirota Toporek. Their team combines surgery, lymphatic care, nutrition, mental health support, and personalized treatment plans to help women manage Lipedema symptoms, improve mobility, and regain quality of life. Their mission was born from witnessing how frequently Lipedema is misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and dismissed.

What We Talk About

How Dr. Max and Dr. Jose discovered Lipedema after years of medical training without ever learning about the condition.
Why Lipedema is far more than “big legs” and how inflammation impacts the entire body.
The differences between cosmetic liposuction and lymph sparing Lipedema surgery.
Why conservative care and surgery work best together for long term symptom management.
Their comprehensive treatment approach including nutrition, compression, lymphatic drainage, hyperbaric therapy, hormones, and physical therapy.
The role of GLP-1 medications in reducing inflammation and preparing patients for surgery.
Why preparing patients before surgery with anti inflammatory protocols can improve recovery, reduce bleeding, and lower complications.
What recovery really looks like after Lipedema surgery, from fibrosis to compression, swelling, and year long healing timelines.
The importance of protecting the lymphatic system during surgery and why Lipedema procedures require specialized techniques and training.
How pain, heaviness, swelling, and mobility limitations affect daily life for women living with Lipedema.
The emotional and physical transformations patients experience after treatment, from reduced pain to improved mobility, confidence, exercise tolerance, and quality of life.
Why early diagnosis matters and how awareness can help women avoid decades of suffering without answers.
