The challenge in diagnosing lipedema
Lipedema is increasingly recognized, but the exam still leaves physicians unsure
In clinical practice, what holds back the diagnosis is almost always the same set of difficulties:
- Lack of specific training in ultrasound assessment
- Uncertainty in interpreting the findings
- No clear exam protocol
- Difficulty telling lipedema apart from lymphedema and obesity
The consequence is well known
- Patients who go underdiagnosed for years
- Inconclusive exams and generic reports
- Misguided management, based on clinical findings alone
- Missed opportunities in your own practice
The Hands-On Vascular Doppler in Lipedema was created precisely to solve this.
What you will learn
A complete protocol, from the exam to clinical management
The content is the same one Dr. Fanilda uses every day at the Instituto, organized so you can apply it with your very next patient.
- Ultrasound exam technique applied to lipedema
- Clinical classification of the disease, stages and features
- Identification of the main ultrasound findings
- Diagnostic assessment protocols
- Confident interpretation of the exams
- Discussion of real clinical cases
- Monitoring and follow-up protocols
Practice with real patients
- Direct contact with patients diagnosed with lipedema
- Supervised scans, with the probe in your hand
- Diagnostic discussion with Dr. Fanilda Barros
- Detailed analysis of each clinical case
Classes of at most 5 physicians
The course runs in very small classes. It is not a demonstration: each participant scans, is corrected on the spot and does it again.
That is what separates watching from knowing how to do it.

8 hours, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
A full day split between grounding the technique in the morning and applying it to real patients in the afternoon.
Morning

Why learn about
lipedema now
- The disease is underdiagnosed and demand for assessment grows every year
- Few physicians have mastered the specific ultrasound assessment
- A well-performed exam changes the patient's management and follow-up
- It is a clear differentiator for your clinical positioning
Those who master the exam today take a place that is still open.
What sets this Hands-On apart
A format designed for your hands, not for an audience
- Intensive hands-on training
- Real patients with a confirmed diagnosis
- Very small classes, at most 5 physicians
- Direct supervision by the specialist
- Real-time technical correction
- A protocol you can apply in your practice
Bonus: the recorded theory lessons with Dr. Fanilda
When you secure your spot you receive the theory material on video, with lessons taught by Dr. Fanilda on the ultrasound exam in lipedema.
The reason is practical: you arrive at the Hands-On with the theory already settled, and the whole day is free for what only happens there, with the patient in front of you and the probe in your hand. Afterward, the material remains available so you can review the reasoning when a difficult case shows up in your practice.
1-year access, counted from the date of your registration for the Hands-On.
