About
Lipedema

Lipedema is a condition still largely unknown, often confused with obesity or lymphedema. However, it is a distinct condition that requires special attention. In this article, we aim to provide more information about this condition and raise public awareness about its manifestations.

Prendre RDV sur

A condition still too unknown

The prevalence of lipedema is still not well-defined, but it is estimated that about one in ten women is affected. The causes are debated among specialists and can vary, ranging from pure heredity (in 2 out of 3 cases) to triggering hormonal factors such as puberty, pregnancy, contraceptive use, or menopause. Additionally, lipedema can be associated with venous and/or lymphatic insufficiency, which further complicates its diagnosis and management.

Symptoms of Lipedema

They are numerous and their intensity can vary from person to person. Among the common manifestations, we find :

  • Difficulty in dressing or putting on shoes,
  • Swellings,
  • Feelings of heaviness,
  • Almost constant pain,
  • Bruises on the affected areas,
  • Loss of mobility,
  • Difficulty in accepting one’s body,
  • Depression and even excessive weight gain

Active support !

In the face of these difficulties, it is crucial to provide adequate support to women with lipœdème. That is why Dr. Nicolas Zwillinger, the first surgeon in France to offer surgical treatment for this disease, offers his expertise and experience to patients.

On this website, you will find a wealth of information and advice to support you throughout your journey with lipœdème. We particularly cover the following topics :

  1. Self-diagnosis : To better understand the specifics of your lipœdème.
  2. The different stages of diagnosis and preparation for a possible intervention (articles: number of necessary medical appointments and the possibility of online video consultations).
  3. The available treatment options to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
  4. WAL liposuction surgery, an effective method for treating lipœdème in some cases.

Support

In addition to this information, we place great importance on the support and attentiveness towards our patients. We have created a dedicated page for frequently asked questions about lipedema, which can address many of your concerns.

If you wish to meet with Dr. Nicolas Zwillinger for a precise diagnosis or to ask specific questions about lipedema, we invite you to schedule an appointment now. To facilitate your care, we also offer the option to fill out an online pre-consultation form, which will save time during your visit.
