Is it really just weight?
Lipedema is a chronic disease of the fat tissue in women. It is often mistaken for obesity or cellulite, which delays diagnosis by years. These signs should lead you to see a doctor who knows the disease:
- Symmetrical enlargement of the legs or arms, while the feet and hands stay slim
- Pain, heaviness and tenderness when the skin is pressed
- Bruises that appear easily, without a real knock
- Fat that does not go away with diet or exercise
- Symptoms that start or worsen at puberty, after pregnancy or at menopause
- A mother, sister or aunt with the same body shape
WAL liposuction under local anaesthesia
Local anaesthesia
You stay awake and comfortable during the procedure, without the risks of general anaesthesia.
Water jet and micro-cannulas
A gentle pulsed water jet loosens the fat, which is removed through micro-cannulas, sparing the lymphatic vessels.
Less pain, easier movement
Removing lipedema fat often relieves heaviness and pain and makes walking easier.
Walking the next day
Compression garment and post-operative drainage according to the centre’s protocol, with regular follow-up.
