What is lipedema?

The lipedema is a chronic condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of adipose tissue in certain areas of the body, mainly the legs, hips and sometimes the arms, usually sparing the feet. This condition is often painful and can cause significant physical and psychological discomfort. Unlike obesity, lipedema does not respond to diet or exercise, making its treatment all the more specific and demanding.

Symptoms and Diagnosis of Lipedema

Symptoms of lipedema include:

Pain and sensitivity: Affected areas are often painful to the touch.
Swelling: Persistent swelling may appear at the end of the day.
Capillary fragility: Patients may experience frequent bruising.
Disproportion Corporelle: A disproportionate accumulation of fat in the lower limbs.

Diagnosing lipedema can be complex. That’s why the Lipedema Clinic team, under the direction of Dr. Nicolas Zwillinger, offers a thorough evaluation to establish an accurate diagnosis and a treatment plan tailored to each patient’s individual needs.

Advanced Treatment Techniques for Lipedema

WAL Liposuction: A Reference Method

Among the treatment techniques on offer, WAL (Water-Assisted Li posuction ) is one of the most effective in reducing the symptoms of lipedema. Unlike conventional liposuction, the WAL method uses a pressurized saline solution to gently loosen fat cells prior to extraction, reducing trauma to surrounding tissue and enhancing recovery.

Benefits of WAL Liposuction for Lipedema

Less invasive: the WAL technique enables gentle aspiration, minimizing the risk of bruising and hematoma.
Pain reduction: Patients experience less post-operative pain.
Rapid recovery: Thanks to this method, the recovery period is reduced.
Lasting results: WAL liposuction offers a significant and lasting reduction in the symptoms of lipedema.
