Lipedema

Lipedema

Lipoedema is usually a disease of the upper and lower extremities and significantly restricts the quality of life of those affected. Targeted liposuction provides effective relief or even freedom from symptoms.

Everything at a glance

Lipoedema patients often go through a lengthy ordeal until the diagnosis is confirmed and taken seriously. Their quality of life suffers significantly as a result.
Apart from aesthetic goals, liposuction is also used here as a curative treatment.
Liposuction can be used to treat specific areas in a targeted manner. Excess fat is removed via small puncture sites. We pay particular attention to a gentle approach here. The fatty tissue affected by lipoedema (often referred to as "lip fat") is reduced as completely as possible and the lymphatic channels are spared.

We use state-of-the-art technologies to achieve the best possible result.
