What is lipedema?
Lipedema is a pathological fat distribution disorder that occurs predominantly in women on the arms and legs, as well as in other areas, and can lead to painful deformities on the body. Lipedema is rarely recognised as such, especially in the early stages. Until diagnosis and treatment, many patients go through a long ordeal – both physically and psychologically as well as aesthetically.
Unfortunately, it is often the case that affected women are not taken seriously by those around them and even by doctors.
The following applies:
Lipedema is a disease that cannot be regulated by exercise or a change in diet.
In order to alleviate the suffering of patients and restore their quality of life, the earliest possible diagnosis – by several doctors if necessary -, conservative treatment therapy or the permanent removal of the abnormal fat deposits are advisable.
Our LIPODOCS will be happy to work with you from the initial diagnosis to the design of a treatment concept tailored to your individual needs (conservative and via liposuction). In addition, he – as well as our entire LIPOTEAM – will be at your side with tips and tricks.
Where does lipedema occur?
Lipedema is primarily recognised by an increase in subcutaneous fatty tissue, which is usually initially distributed on the extremities (legs and arms) and can eventually affect the hips and buttocks (in the form of so-called saddlebags) and other areas as the disease progresses. At LIPOCURA®, we believe that lipedema can also occur in other areas such as the legs and arms. Lipedema on the abdomen, for example, is particularly stressful for affected women. In addition to sometimes severe pain and sensitivity to pressure – just some of the symptoms of lipedema – the focus here is also on the aesthetic appearance.

MyLIPOAvatar
Optimum surgical planning with 3D body analysis
Do you already know our “MyLIPOAvatar”? With extensive body analyses of our patients, the 3D scan accurately measures the body fat percentage before and after the operation. A 3D avatar of the patient enables precise tracking of progress and treatment success.
It is very easy to use: just half a minute standing on the rotating platform is enough to analyse the 3D body. High-precision images enable a virtual version of your body with millimetre precision. The measurements include posture, circumference, body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio.
“MyLIPOAvatar” offers the following advantages:
- Precise circumference measurements
- Detailed body posture analyses
- Calculation of body fat percentage and basal metabolic rate
- Detailed documentation of the actual condition before the operation
- OP planning with millimetre precision
- Transparency and the best possible results
- Post-operative visibility of the amount of fat removed
- Comprehensive before and after documentation of circumferences and areas
- Documentation of your treatment path as a patient
You can look forward to detailed tracking of your progress – you will receive further information in a personal consultation.
We are here for you!

Further services relating to lipedema
Skin tightening
Relieving pain is the focus of our treatment for lipedema patients.
In order to achieve an aesthetically pleasing overall appearance for your body, we at LIPOCURA® can also use various scarless skin tightening methods as part of liposuction – surgical needling, laser treatment and cool plasma tightening. In the case of very pronounced findings, surgical skin tightening is possible, leaving only fine scars.
Find out more about our various treatment methods on the following subpages. We will also be happy to determine which treatment is most suitable for you in a personal consultation.
Cool Plasma
Plasma energy is a revolutionary technique for skin tightening. While other techniques (such as traditional laser tightening) utilise indirect heat, the plasma jet tightens specific collagenous and elastic structures under the skin. The surrounding tissue is additionally cooled by the outflowing gas that generates the cool plasma. As a result, significantly more heat can be transferred to the tissue at the targeted structures. In addition to a clearly visible immediate result, a collagen and elastin booster exert a very pronounced skin tightening effect after 6 months – without additional scars or burns.
