Lipedema typically leads to a symmetrical increase in fat on the legs, hips, thighs, and knees – less commonly also on the arms. The affected areas often feel heavy and tender to pressure, while the hands, feet, and torso remain unaffected. Affected individuals often report a disproportion between a slender upper body and a voluminous lower body – despite healthy eating and exercise.

The costs of lipedema treatment vary depending on the severity, surgical technique, and number of treatment areas. At BONITAS, an individual cost calculation is made during a personal consultation – transparent, fair, and tailored to your findings. We focus on the highest medical quality and many years of experience, rather than cheap prices at the expense of safety.

The surgically removed lipedema fat cells do not grow back. A healthy lifestyle with exercise and conscious nutrition helps to maintain the surgical result permanently. Important: No new lipedema cells can form, but remaining areas can gain volume with significant weight gain. Medically supervised aftercare is essential.

Lipedema is characterized by symmetrical fat accumulations, pressure pain, a feeling of tension, and a tendency to bruise – especially on the legs and/or arms. Typically, the symptoms increase throughout the day, while diets show little effect. A reliable diagnosis can only be made through a specialized medical examination. At BONITAS we provide detailed and individual consultation.
