Lipedema - Diagnosis and Treatment

📚 Learn more
Premier Clinic medical facility focuses on diagnosis and comprehensive treatment. As the only and first medical facility in the Czech Republic, we have been certified and use treatment and surgical procedures of German specialist Dr. Offermann, who has been focusing on lipedema treatment for more than 18 years.

Lipedema treatment is a multidisciplinary problem that includes areas of vascular surgery, lymphology and phlebology. Before any procedure and lipedema treatment, it is necessary to determine the patient’s condition using diagnostic methods and choose treatment accordingly. Thanks to the complexity of our facility, we can help clients with lipedema problems and ensure accurate and effective treatment.

Lipedema examination at our clinic includes an initial consultation and, if necessary, ultrasound diagnostics. Based on the first examination, the attending physician will determine whether the client suffers from lipedema, whether venous insufficiency (chronic venous insufficiency) is present and will suggest a possible treatment procedure. As a supplementary examination, an examination by the clinic’s lymphologist can be performed.

The initial consultation takes about 30 minutes, the price of this examination including ultrasound diagnostics is 1,800 CZK.

If venous insufficiency is present, the vascular surgeon will perform venous insufficiency therapy before the actual lipedema treatment. Without solving this problem, lipedema treatment would be ineffective and risky. We perform venous procedures at our clinic using laser ablation or venous glue under local anesthesia – this is approximately a 60-minute procedure.

What is lipedema?

Lipedema, also called fat leg syndrome, is characterized by excessive pathological accumulation of fat, primarily in the areas of the lower extremities and arms. Lipedema is a chronic progressive disease that affects exclusively women in a frequency of 9 to 15% of the adult female population. It is often mistakenly confused with lymphatic or venous swelling and obesity. Unfortunately, lipedema is not only an aesthetic problem, but also causes pain, sensitivity to touch, spontaneous bruising (hematomas) and in higher stages also walking problems. The cause of lipedema is not yet known, hormonal changes in the patient are considered to play the biggest role. It often begins to appear during puberty and the problem gradually worsens. Unfortunately, lipedema cannot be removed by diets, exercise, etc.

Lipedema Treatment

Our medical facility has a water jet-based device for lipedema treatment. This device is used by Dr. Offermann, a specialist in lipedema treatment, who successfully treats hundreds of patients annually in Germany with this device. It is a gentle technique that uses a water jet to separate problematic fat from surrounding tissues and then suction it out. During 1 session, it is possible to treat a maximum of 1 area (thighs, calves or arms). If it is necessary to treat more areas, it is advisable to repeat the procedure.

We perform the procedure under general anesthesia. After the procedure, it is necessary to stay at our clinic for 1 night and wear special compression garments.
