Lipedema Doctor – You deserve more than just a diagnosis

If you suspect lipedema, you should consult specialists in vascular diseases (phlebologists) or plastic and aesthetic surgeons. They recognize the typical symptoms – such as painful fat accumulation, swelling tendency, and disproportion – and can provide a confirmed diagnosis. At BONITAS we accompany you from the first examination to a potential operation.

Lipedema is diagnosed clinically – by experienced specialists in phlebology or plastic surgery. A physical examination, medical history, and, if necessary, ultrasound or volume comparison confirm the diagnosis. A laboratory examination is not required. At BONITAS, the assessment is made during a detailed initial consultation with Mr. Marti – empathetically, discreetly, and at eye level.

BONITAS specializes in lipedema – both medically and personally. Here, you not only benefit from state-of-the-art technology (e.g. vibration-assisted liposuction, plasma tightening), but also from empathetic support throughout every phase of your treatment. We don’t just operate – we listen, analyze, and plan a realistic, safe treatment goal together with you.

Most patients experience moderate pain after the operation (about 3 / 10 on the pain scale). Thanks to general anesthesia, local anesthetics, and compression bandages, mild analgesics like paracetamol are usually sufficient for the first 5 days. A feeling of tightness when straightening up usually subsides within two weeks. A slightly bent posture, rest, and consistent wearing of compression garments support healing. In case of persistent or increasing pain, the surgeon should be contacted immediately.

Yes – Mr. Marti regularly treats advanced stages (stages 2 and 3) with pronounced tissue changes. The procedures are carefully planned, often performed in stages, and always with a focus on medical safety, functional relief, and aesthetic results. Even challenging initial findings are treated at BONITAS with maximum care and experience.
