Yasmina was embarrassed of what others called her elephant legs. ESPOO, FINLAND: TROLLS caused this woman to hide away for TWENTY-ONE YEARS after a rare condition left her with ?ELEPHANT LEGS? ? but now she?s unrecognisable after spending L10K on surgery. Communications manager Yasmina Kemppainen (36) from Espoo, Finland, began to experience pain in her legs when she was just 12 years old. Soon after, Yasmina?s legs began to swell and she suspected something was wrong. As a teenager, people would tell Yasmina that she was ?too skinny,? but she found herself unable to look past what she called her ?fat legs.? In February 2018, Yasmina finally visited a doctor who diagnosed her with lipoedema ? a condition which causes an abnormal build-up of fat. From the age of 12, Yasmina hid her legs away until her diagnosis in 2018 ? covering 21 years in total. She hated attending social events or the beach. At work, she found herself tiring easily and the condition slowly took over her life. Other adults would refer to Yasmina?s legs as ?elephant legs? or tell her to ?lose weight? because she was ?too big.? For those who suffer from lipoedema, it isn?t as simple as losing weight. Whilst losing weight can alleviate symptoms, it doesn?t get rid of the condition and the legs can still appear larger than the torso. In February and April of 2019, Yasmina decided to undergo liposuction surgery in Berlin, Germany, in which the fat was removed at a cost of L10,320 (?12,000). Alongside this, she also switched to a keto diet. This consists of high-fat, low-carb content. Prior to the surgery, Yasmina weighed 10st 7lb and wore a size XL on her lower half. Now, she weighs 8st 6lb and is able to wear a size XS. Since the surgery, Yasmina?s confidence has grown leaps and bounds and she feels like she?s taken control of her life again. She began posting her story online in a bid to help and inspire other women who might be in a similar situation. mediadrumworld.com/@yasmina.kem
