By providing our patients with a comprehensive and meticulous approach, our goal is to diagnose lipedema early to prevent complications and ensure optimal care.

DIAGNOSIS OF LIPEDEMA

Lipedema is a chronic and often underdiagnosed condition characterized by abnormal fat accumulation mainly in the legs and arms. Early diagnosis is essential to prevent worsening symptoms and improve the quality of life for patients. Read more

CLINICAL EXAMINATION

The clinical examination is a crucial step in identifying the typical signs of lipedema, such as sensitivity and pain to touch, symmetry of the affected limbs, absence of foot swelling, and family and medical history. This thorough assessment helps to establish an accurate diagnosis and personalize the treatment plan for each patient. Read more

ADDITIONAL EXAMINATIONS

To confirm the diagnosis of lipedema, we perform additional tests such as Doppler ultrasound to evaluate blood flow, lymphoscintigraphy to observe the lymphatic system, and MRI of the lower limbs to obtain a detailed image of the fat tissue structure. These examinations help determine the severity of the disease and plan an appropriate treatment. Read more

Treat

We offer specialized surgical treatments for lipedema, including various liposuction techniques, to reduce pain and aesthetic discomfort. Our personalized approach ensures optimal results and a quick recovery.

CONSERVATIVE TREATMENTS

Our multidisciplinary approach also includes conservative treatments to effectively manage lipedema and improve patient comfort. We work closely with various specialists to provide comprehensive care :

Compression : Compression garments help reduce swelling and pain.
Manual lymphatic drainage : This massage technique promotes lymphatic circulation and reduces swelling.
Nutritional advice : A balanced and tailored diet can help manage weight and reduce inflammation.
Adapted physical activity: Regular practice of adapted physical activity is essential to improve circulation, reduce symptoms, and maintain good physical condition.

WAL LIPOSUCTION

Water-assisted liposuction (WAL) is an innovative technique that allows for precise removal of fat cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. Read more

TAL LIPOSUCTION

Modified tumescent liposuction (TAL) uses a tumescent solution to numb and swell the tissues, making fat extraction easier and reducing the risks of bleeding and pain. Read more

VASER LIPOSUCTION

VASER liposuction uses ultrasound to liquefy fat before extraction, allowing for a gentler and more precise removal of fat cells, especially useful in sensitive areas. Read more

POST-OPERATIVE FOLLOW-UP

Post-operative follow-up

Post-operative follow-up is crucial to ensure complete recovery and prevent recurrence. Our team offers personalized follow-up for each patient, including regular consultations and advice on home care.

Ensuring optimal results

Conservative treatments are also necessary after surgery to guarantee the results of the operation and ensure an optimal post-operative period :

Compression : Relieve post-operative swelling and improve skin retraction.
Maderotherapy and pressotherapy : Optimize skin quality and treat residual swelling.
Sport and nutrition : Regular physical activity and a balanced diet are essential to maintain the results of the surgery and ensure good tone in the operated areas.
