Liposuction as part of a lipedema operation is the only lasting treatment for lipedema.
Systematically and competently performed lipedema surgery achieves outstanding results with very few complications. As a pioneer in the surgical treatment of lipedema, the LipoClinic is a worldwide leader, successfully performing more than 2,500 operations every year.
So that the tissue is decongested and best prepared for the liposuction performed as part of the lipedema surgery, it is extremely important that patients continuously wear a flat-knit compression garment for six to eight weeks before the operation. If the tissue is very congested, targeted manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) should also be performed before the operation. MLD is also important in the follow-up care to counteract the swelling that typically occurs after surgery. The flat-knit compression garment must also be continuously worn after the liposuction. It helps with reducing the swelling, knits the layers of loosened tissue together again and ensures better contouring thanks to the compression.
