Title
Lipödem: Moderne Diagnostik und Therapie
Abstract
Lipoedema is a disease of women, characterised by a circumscribed accumulation of subcutaneous fat, mainly in the legs, with oedema, hematomas, and pain from tension and pressure. Up to now, only conservative treatment with manual lymphatic drainage and compression was possible. Nowadays surgical therapy with liposuction under tumescent local anaesthesia can not only improve morphology but can also reduce complaints. When performed with modern techniques by experienced surgeons, liposuction is very safe and highly effective. The combination of conservative and surgical methods can considerably improve quality of life.
