Why Lipedema Surgery Is Not
Cosmetic Liposuction
How is it
performed?
The Lipedema surgery begins with a medical assessment and precise mapping of the affected areas.
Appropriate anesthesia and preparation then follow. Using specialized liposuction, the pathological fatty tissue is removed while preserving the lymphatic system.
The correction is performed in a controlled and symmetrical manner, with immediate application of a compression garment to reduce swelling and support better postoperative recovery.
Steps
- Medical Assessment & Planning
- Targeted removal of pathological fat
- Controlled, Symmetrical Correction
- Immediate compression after surgery
