Lipodema is a disorder of fat distribution in the body. It is a painful and bothersome condition and mainly affects women. It involves fat deposits in the arms, legs and buttocks. Liposuction is generally the only effective treatment for reducing the symptoms caused by lipodema. Lipoedema treatment can be performed by the experienced doctors at Acuraklinik.
Ursachen für Lipödem
Lipoedema is a condition where fat deposits are not the result of an unhealthy diet and/or lack of exercise. People known to be overweight may gain weight more quickly due to lipoedema. It is known that almost exclusively women are affected by this disease. The first signs of lipoedema often appear during or shortly after puberty. Visible fat deposits on the arms, legs or buttocks combined with pain and/or a feeling of heaviness are common symptoms of lipoedema. The first signs of lipoedema are often difficult to distinguish from ’normal‘ fat accumulation. It is difficult to distinguish this at the beginning and make a 100% diagnosis, which can lead to you only after several years with the Lipoedema treatment can begin. Social isolation and loneliness can be a consequence of severe lipoedema, which is why it's important to make a doctor's appointment in good time.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Lipoedema in Düsseldorf or Surrounding Area
Lipoedema can remain stable for years, but it can also increase in size due to internal and external factors. It is often diagnosed late, as most women believe that they need to lose weight. For a secure diagnosis, we recommend visiting a dermatologist. Pregnancy, as well as infections or sunburn, can cause an increase in fat accumulation. Initial lipoedema can be treated with a balanced diet, regular exercise, lymphatic drainage, and wearing compression stockings. Not every woman benefits from this combination of treatments, and persistent pain can be a reason to seek Liposuction to consider. Liposuction is the most successful way to remove accumulated fatty tissue. The duration of lipoedema treatment using liposuction is approximately 1 to 2.5 hours, depending on the extent of the lipoedema. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anaesthetic. After the anaesthetic has been applied, small incisions are made in the skin and a large amount of anaesthetic fluid is injected. This loosens the fat so it can be optimally suctioned out. After the treatment, you will wear compression garments and can leave the clinic. Wear these for as long as your doctor has advised, as this is the only way for the different skin layers to fuse together optimally. The first results are visible immediately and continue to develop in the following weeks.
Liposuction as a treatment for lipoedema
Liposuction is thoroughly prepared so that you know what to expect from the procedure and the recovery period. The procedure itself is performed under general anaesthetic and takes between 1 and 2.5 hours. After local anaesthetic, small incisions are made, into which a liquid is injected. This loosens the fat, making it easy to remove. Depending on the size of the lipoedema, multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired result. After the procedure, you will need to wear supportive hosiery and/or a bandage. This compression garment ensures that the different skin layers adhere well. Immediately after liposuction, you will already be able to see that the fat has been removed, and the results will continue to develop over the following weeks.
