Lipedema Skin Tightening

Skin Tightening After Lipedema Surgery – For a new body feeling that truly feels new

Liposuction for lipedema offers many women noticeable relief: less pain, more mobility, and finally a new quality of life. However, after the procedure, one issue often remains – excess, sagging skin. It reminds you of what was and prevents you from feeling completely at home in your new body.

This is exactly where BONITAS comes in: With customized skin and body tightening procedures that are not only functional but also aesthetically impressive – performed with sensitivity, state-of-the-art technology, and extensive experience.

Why does sagging skin occur after lipedema surgery?

Due to the removal of large amounts of fat in advanced lipedema, the skin cannot always fully retract – especially with:

The result: excess, wrinkled, or sagging skin areas that cause friction, sweat accumulation, or a continued distressing body image.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

When Can I Have a Tightening Procedure after Liposuction?

In many cases, during liposuction as part of a lipedema treatment, plasma tightening is already advisable and possible during the same surgery – entirely without an additional skin incision. This method is particularly suitable for initial skin laxity and can aesthetically refine the result.

Classic surgical tightening procedures (e.g., on arms or thighs) are recommended no earlier than 6 to 12 months after the last liposuction – once swelling has completely subsided and the tissue has stabilized, but are often not advisable for lipedema.

Will Visible Scars Remain after Skin Tightening?

Whether visible scars remain depends on the chosen tightening method. With minimally invasive procedures like plasma tightening, the skin incisions are very small and usually inconspicuous. With classic surgical tightening procedures, longer scars occur, but these are placed in skin folds or in inconspicuous areas. Professional suturing techniques and targeted aftercare help to keep scar formation as minimal as possible.

How Can I Tighten My Skin after Lipedema Surgery?

After lipedema liposuction, excess skin may occur – depending on skin quality and the extent of fat removal. Modern procedures like plasma tightening minimally invasively tighten the tissue from within, without large incisions. In severe cases, surgical skin tightening may be necessary. Which method is suitable depends on individual factors – at BONITAS, we rely on state-of-the-art technology and individual consultation.

What Does Liposuction with Skin Tightening Cost?

The costs for lipedema liposuction with supplementary skin tightening depend on the scope, technique, and clinic standard. High-quality equipment, experienced specialists, and comprehensive aftercare significantly influence the result – and distinguish reputable providers like BONITAS from budget providers who often cut corners in crucial areas. A binding cost estimate is prepared individually after examination.

Are the Costs for Skin Tightening after Lipedema Covered?

The costs for liposuction for lipedema can be covered by statutory health insurance under certain conditions. However, skin tightening procedures after surgery are generally considered follow-up procedures with an aesthetic indication and are rarely covered. An individual case review by the health insurance company is possible. Please contact your health insurance company directly regarding this.
