France’s first team of expert plastic surgeons: treating lipoedema

From diagnosis to treatment and recovery, lipedema treatment can take time, depending on the severity of the condition. Due to a lack of awareness of the condition, there are currently only a handful of surgical teams worldwide dedicated to the treatment of lipoedema.

The reality is that lipoedema is not uncommon, affecting up to 11% of women, although a correct diagnosis these days is rarely made anywhere in the world. For those in search of experts in France, there is a pioneering team of specialist surgeons led by Dr. Nicolas Zwillinger, who look after patients with lipoedema.

A team of qualified plastic surgeons

As an active member of the French SOFCEP and international ISAPS learned societies, and the author of numerous scientific discoveries, Dr. Nicolas Zwillinger has specialized in plastic, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery in the Paris region since 2000. He is also a regular guest at the annual SOFCEP congress, where he talks about lipedema, his method and his experience, and shares his discoveries with his surgical and medical colleagues.

Recognized as a pioneer by the medical profession and patient community in the surgical treatment of lipoedema, Dr. Nicolas Zwillinger and his surgical team have been evolving standard protocols (medical and surgical) in parallel since 2018 in France.

As a trailblazer, Dr. Zwillinger and his team have launched the very first website dedicated to lipoedema patients in 2019 with the aim of raising awareness of this chronic pathology, which is still little recognized in France, by providing advice on examination, diagnosis, treatment and post-operative care thatwill enable them to treat and eradicate the symptoms associated with this disease and ultimately regain autonomy and well-being.
