How can you have lipedema surgery if you live far from Paris?

Lipedema is a chronic condition that affects many women and can profoundly alter their quality of life.

If you live far from Paris and are considering surgery, we have set up an optimized and comprehensive care pathway, specially designed for patients coming from outside Paris or abroad.

An initial lipedema diagnosis that can be made remotely

Before any procedure, an accurate diagnosis of lipedema is necessary. To avoid travel at this initial stage, a teleconsultation with one of our specialist surgeons is available.

This video appointment, available every day of the week via Doctolib, allows you to:

• Confirm the presence of lipedema,

• Prepare a detailed, personalized quote,

• Answer all your questions about the procedure.

At the end of this teleconsultation, you will receive a personalized treatment proposal, accompanied by a cost estimate and medical recommendations tailored to your situation.

Consultation with the anesthesiologist: also possible remotely

All surgical procedures require a pre-anesthesia consultation.

Once again, there is no need to travel: the consultation can be conducted via video call with one of our anesthesiologists.

This step aims to:

• Assess your overall health,

• Review your medical history,

• Inform you about the precautions to take before the operation.

The operation: a stay in Paris organized for your comfort

The surgical procedure is performed on an outpatient basis at the Lipedema Clinic, located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.

For your convenience, we have established a partnership withthe Sofitel hotel, located right next to the clinic. This partnership allows you to benefit from:

• Preferential rates for your stay,

• Immediate access to the clinic without unnecessary travel,

• A quiet environment conducive to your recovery.

Automated pharmaceutical and nursing care thanks to StudioSanté

To spare you any logistical stress surrounding your procedure, we have established an exclusive partnership with StudioSanté, a network founded by expert nurses.

As soon as your appointment is confirmed, everything is automatically organized for you:

• Advance preparation of post-operative prescriptions (painkillers, anticoagulants, compression stockings, etc.),

• Ordering and delivery of medications to the pharmacy closest to the clinic or your home,

• Provision of all necessary dressing and nursing supplies for the future,

• Coordination with a private nurse near your home to provide home care.

Returning home: practical advice if you are flying

If you need to fly after the procedure, here are the medical recommendations to follow:

• Wait at least 48 hours after the operation.

• Wear compression stockings during the flight.

• Take the prescribed antihistamines,

• Get up and walk around regularly during the journey.

Post-operative follow-up at home, with no time limit

Postoperative medical follow-up is essential for a good recovery.

At the Lipedema Clinic, this follow-up is personalized, coordinated, and unlimited in duration: it continues until complete healing.

During the first 10 days, nursing care must be provided daily at home. This care is reimbursed by Social Security and organized by StudioSanté.

Next, follow-up video consultations with our specialists are scheduled at regular intervals to:

• Monitor the healing process,

• Adjust care as needed,

• Answer all your questions, even several weeks after the procedure.

Video consultations have become standard practice at our clinic: they are available every day of the week via Doctolib, allowing you to communicate with your medical team without having to travel.

Comprehensive support, even remotely

At the Lipedema Clinic, we have thought through every step of your journey, so that distance is never a barrier to your care. Diagnosis, anesthesia, treatment, nursing care, pharmacy, long-term follow-up: everything is seamless, coordinated, and supervised by experts.
