If left untreated, the problem will slowly and steadily worsen over the years. In the worst case, the lipedema can turn into lymphedema and elephantiasis. At this stage it is no longer possible to treat the cause.
Dr. Lisborg has spent considerable time in diagnosing lipedema over the past few years and has had great results treating this distressing disease.
To relieve the symptoms permanently, reducing fatty tissue surgically has proven to be very effective. At our center we perform liposuction under tumescent local anesthesia. Within the last 18 years this surgery has yielded great results, improving body shape, alleviating pain and making a meaningful life change to all patients.
Typically, you will be able to go about your business as usual after a few days. Haematomas (bruises) might occur and will vanish after one to two weeks without impeding your day-to-day life. After the surgery you will experience sensations similar to muscle soreness lasting a few days. The external healing process will be generally completed within four weeks, the internal one might take up to six months. After the surgery we will fit you with a compression garment, which you should wear for several weeks.
