Do you feel that your legs are disproportionately large compared to the rest of your body, while also feeling both heavy and swollen? Lipedema is a chronic condition caused by an abnormal accumulation of fat cells that most often occurs on the legs, hips, or arms. Living with lipedema can be both physically and mentally demanding, but fortunately there is a solution to the problem.
Here at Estetikcentrum you will be in contact with expert surgeons who have extensive experience in treating lipedema with good and long-lasting results. We offer liposuction as a good and effective alternative that can reduce both pain and the feeling of heaviness, while being gentle on the skin and leaving minimal scars. Although the disease cannot be completely cured, the right treatment can give you a lighter body and an easier everyday life. Stay tuned and we will tell you more!
How liposuction works for lipedema
Using liposuction as a solution to reduce symptoms from lipedema is something we highly recommend, especially for those of you who live with the feeling of heavy, sore legs and a body that doesn't really cooperate. Our skilled surgeons carefully remove the fatty tissue from the affected area to reduce pressure and ensure that you get a natural result and a more proportionate body shape.
For some, liposuction for lipedema may be funded through the county council depending on the region's guidelines and how severe the condition is. However, regardless of the path, you can always turn to us for a private consultation where we will go through your symptoms, goals and conditions to create a plan that really makes a difference. However, we do not have an agreement with the county council.
Can lipedema be treated in other ways?
In addition to liposuction, lipedema can be treated in other ways, but it rarely gives the same long-term results. If you are in the early stages, compression garments can be used to reduce swelling and provide support. Lymphatic massage has also been shown to have some effect, as it increases blood circulation and thus reduces fluid accumulation.
The treatments can relieve symptoms of pain and swelling, but they do not get rid of the fat. Therefore, liposuction is often the only option for those who want long-term improvement.
