Lipedema Team Surgeons Dr. Max Sirota and Dr. Jose Carlos Martinez to Headline 2026 Lipedema Summit

Lipedema Team will headline the free, virtual 2026 Lipedema Summit, with surgeons Dr. Max Sirota and Dr. Jose Carlos Martinez featured throughout the June 10 to 12 event.
LOS ANGELES, CA - June 1, 2026 - Lipedema Team, a multidisciplinary lipedema care center serving patients across the United States and Canada, announced that its surgeons Dr. Max Sirota and Dr. Jose Carlos Martinez will be among the headlining speakers at the 2026 Lipedema Summit, a virtual education event taking place June 10 to 12 during Lipedema Awareness Month. Lipedema Team is a Presenting Sponsor of the summit, and both surgeons are featured throughout its program, including each day's opening and closing panels.

The 2026 Lipedema Summit is hosted by Erika Schlick, founder of The Trail to Health, and brings together more than 40 physicians, surgeons, researchers, therapists, and patient advocates for conversational, education-first sessions on diagnosis, conservative treatment, and surgical care. The summit is free to attend online, with optional paid upgrades and a limited in-person evening gathering in Los Angeles on June 11 that will be livestreamed to the global audience.

Lipedema is a chronic condition that does not respond to diet or exercise and is frequently misdiagnosed, leaving many patients without answers for years. Education events like the summit aim to help patients recognize the condition earlier and understand the care options available to them.

At the summit, Dr. Sirota and Dr. Martinez are scheduled to take part in sessions on the foundations of lipedema care, including how the condition is diagnosed, how it differs from obesity and lymphedema, and what conservative and surgical pathways involve. Their participation reflects Lipedema Team's focus on evidence-based, patient-centered education.

"Too many women living with lipedema spend years being told their bodies are simply the result of diet or willpower," said Dr. Max Sirota, surgeon at Lipedema Team. "Events like this one give patients clear, honest information from clinicians who understand the condition, and that is what helps people find the right care."

Lipedema Team treats the condition through both conservative treatment programs and advanced proprietary surgical protocols, working as an integrated team of physicians, surgeons, physical therapists, nutritionists, and mental health support. The clinic says its participation in the summit is part of a broader commitment to raising awareness of a widely misunderstood condition.
