The targeted pressure improves lymphatic drainage and reduces the accumulation of fluid in the tissue. This leads to a noticeable alleviation of typical symptoms such as a feeling of tightness and pressure pain.  <\/p><p>Compression also supports the return flow from the veins and lymph vessels &#8211; even at rest, 50% more fluid flows back out of the legs. Compression therapy is particularly effective in combination with exercise, as the muscles then also work against the compression material, thus increasing decongestion. <\/p><p>Even if compression cannot cure lipoedema, it makes a decisive contribution to alleviating the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lipo.clinic\/en\/lipedema-symptoms\/\">symptoms of lipoedema<\/a> and improving the quality of life of those affected.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9db20e5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9db20e5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"2\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Flat knit or circular knit - what is the right choice for lipedema?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5687f69 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5687f69\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Flat knit and circular knit products differ in terms of their manufacture and area of application. While circular knit products provide milder compression and are used in particular for venous disorders (varicose veins), flat knit products allow more precise adjustment to individual needs, which is particularly important for lipoedema. Flat knit compression is <strong>always<\/strong> made to measure in order to achieve the best possible compression for you.  <\/p><p>After lipoedema surgery, especially in the first few weeks of healing, flat knit is particularly valuable as it provides targeted compression in the various affected areas such as the thighs, hips and calves. This precise distribution of pressure not only promotes the removal of swelling and fluid, but also stabilizes the newly formed tissue and supports healing. Flat knit products are therefore ideal for securing the post-operative result in the long term by reducing the formation of haematomas and lymphatic congestion and optimizing blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.  <\/p><p>At the LipoClinic, we therefore rely on flat knitting to offer our patients a particularly effective and individually tailored therapy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a482173 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a482173\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lipo.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Psyche-Text.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-10852\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lipo.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Psyche-Text.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.lipo.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Psyche-Text-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lipo.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Psyche-Text-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lipo.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Psyche-Text-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lipo.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Psyche-Text-1536x1025.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a5f01ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a5f01ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"3\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Compression for the arms in lipoedema: often overlooked but crucial<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac0a475 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ac0a475\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In addition to compression stockings, compression of the arms is also an important part of lipoedema treatment. Special compression sleeves, also known as boleros, exert targeted pressure on the tissue and support lymph drainage. You can obtain these from us in conventional sizes after the arm operation.  <\/p><p>Compression therapy for the arms is often carried out in combination with manual lymphatic drainage to enhance and prolong the effects of the treatment. Modern compression sleeves are not only medically effective, but are also available in different colors and designs, which makes daily use of the therapy easier. After an operation, however, the use of round knit boleros is possible. As the removal of swelling from the arms is much easier and quicker, a circular knit garment is sufficient in most cases.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3aa24e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3aa24e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"4\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Everyday life with lipoedema with compression: tips for more comfort<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2a54c06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2a54c06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The daily routine with compression for lipoedema can be challenging at first, but can be managed well with the right strategies. The best time to put on the compression is directly after getting up in the morning, when the swelling is still minimal.

Ideally, you should wash your compression garments every day or at least every other day. This maintains the elasticity and extends the life of the materials.  <\/p><p><strong>For optimum comfort in everyday wear:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Wear the compression consistently during the day<\/li><li>Ensure a wrinkle-free fit<\/li><li>Check the fit regularly<\/li><li>Have yourself re-measured every 6 months<\/li><\/ul><div> <\/div><p>Compression is particularly important during sporting activities, as the combination of movement and compression also supports decongestion in lipoedema.
