INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROCEDURE

What is lipedema?

Lipedema is a chronic disease of adipose tissue, which manifests itself as symmetrical swelling of the lower limbs, and less often of the arms. It affects almost exclusively women. Typical symptoms are soreness to the touch, easy bruising and a feeling of heaviness in the legs. The disease is often genetic and its occurrence is associated with hormonal changes such as adolescence, pregnancy or menopause. It is often confused with obesity or lymphoedema.

Early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment can significantly improve the quality of life of patients. At our clinic, it is possible to undergo large-volume liposuction, which helps to address the symptoms of lipedema.
