How will the procedure be carried out?

The treatment of lipoedema is a multidisciplinary issue involving the fields of vascular surgery, lymphology and phlebology.

Before any procedure or treatment for lipoedema, it is essential to assess the patient’s condition using diagnostic methods and select the appropriate treatment accordingly.

Thanks to the comprehensive nature of our facility, we are able to help clients with lipoedema and provide precise and effective treatment.

At our clinic, the lipoedema assessment includes an initial consultation and, where necessary, an ultrasound scan. The initial consultation lasts approximately 30 minutes.

If venous insufficiency is present, a vascular surgeon will treat this before commencing treatment for lipoedema.

The lipoedema treatment itself is carried out using a water-jet-based device. This is a gentle technique which, using a water jet, separates the problematic fat from the surrounding tissues and then suctions it away.

A maximum of one area (thighs, calves or arms) can be treated in a single session. If treatment of multiple areas is required, it is advisable to repeat the procedure.

What about recovery after the procedure?

We carry out the procedure under general anaesthetic. After the procedure, you will need to stay at our clinic for one night and wear special compression garments. Provided everything is fine, one follow-up appointment after a week is sufficient. Recovery is quick and does not restrict your daily activities.

FAQ

Frequently Asked
Questions

<p>Can’t find the answer to your question? Get in touch – we’d be happy to explain everything to you during a no-obligation consultation.</p>

What causes lipoedema?

The cause of lipoedema is not yet known, but hormonal changes and imbalances are thought to play the biggest role, a view supported by the fact that it affects women exclusively.

It often begins to appear during puberty and the condition gradually worsens.

Lipedema was first diagnosed in the 1940s; prior to that, it had been mistaken for various other conditions, including obesity.


What are the symptoms of lipoedema?

Lipedema most commonly affects the lower limbs, where it causes massive swelling from the inner thighs down to the ankles.

Unfortunately, this is not merely a cosmetic issue; it also causes pain, tenderness to the touch, spontaneous bruising (haematomas) and, in more advanced stages, difficulties with walking.


What is the difference between lipoedema and lymphoedema?

Lipedema is caused by an excessive build-up of fat cells in the subcutaneous tissue, whilst lymphoedema is an accumulation of interstitial fluid in the tissues, caused by a dysfunction of the lymphatic system.


Are there any complementary therapies for the treatment of lipoedema?

Although genetics play a major role in lipoedema, a healthy lifestyle and the wearing of compression stockings are recommended.

The treatment we provide can also be supplemented with additional measures: wearing compression garments, dietary changes and regular therapeutic lymphatic drainage sessions.

Additional procedures, such as the removal of excess skin, are also highly recommended.
