Lipoedema treatment with VASERlipo® in Berlin

Lipoedema is a chronic fat distribution disorder that cannot be influenced by diet or exercise. Liposuction permanently removes the diseased fat cells, relieves pain and improves mobility as well as body awareness.

VASER® is particularly suitable for patients with lipoedema stages 1–3 who suffer from painful fat deposits. In advanced cases (stage 4), a combination with other procedures may make sense. An individual consultation is essential.

That depends on the stage of lipoedema and the affected area of the body. Often 1–3 sessions are necessary to achieve the desired result.

The fat cells that have been removed do not come back, as they do not regenerate. However, hormonal changes or an unhealthy lifestyle can lead to renewed weight gain.

Most patients are fit to work again after 1–2 weeks. Swelling and bruising subside within 4–6 weeks, while the final result is visible after approx. 3–6 months.

Yes, for approx. 6–8 weeks. The compression garments help to reduce swelling, support healing and contribute to an optimal aesthetic result.

During the procedure, local anaesthetic or general anaesthetic is used, so no pain is felt. After the surgery there may be a slight feeling of tightness and tenderness, which can be managed well with painkillers.

In Germany, liposuction for lipoedema from stage 3 is covered by statutory health insurance in some cases. Private health insurers may have individual arrangements. Innerform is a self-pay clinic. Coverage of costs should be clarified in advance.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including swelling, temporary numbness or, rarely, infections. Compared with the conventional method, however, these are lower, because VASER® is gentler on the tissue.

That depends on the individual skin condition. With a pronounced excess of skin, a thigh lift or tummy tuck may make sense. In many cases, however, a combination with J-Plasma is sufficient.

The treatment can be combined with skin tightening methods such as J-Plasma, lymphatic drainage, PRP for skin regeneration or body injections with fillers. Tightening operations can also make sense in certain cases.

J-Plasma can tighten the skin further after liposuction and stimulate collagen production. It can help to improve skin quality, especially in patients with weak connective tissue or advanced lipoedema. Lymphatic drainage promotes the removal of fluid, reduces swelling and supports healing. It can be performed both manually and with devices.
