Lipoedema treatment: what patients and surgeons should know

Lipoedema is a chronic fat distribution disorder that in Switzerland affects an estimated 10 % of all women — often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as obesity. Modern, tissue-sparing liposuction techniques such as power-assisted liposuction (PAL) with MicroAire enable targeted, low-pain removal of the affected fat tissue with lasting results.

As distribution partner for leading surgical technologies in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, ALBIN GROUP consolidates here evidence-based knowledge on diagnosis, stages, treatment options, aftercare and reimbursement.

Diagnosis & 3 stages according to Marshall/Herbst
Conservative therapy: compression & lymph drainage
Surgical therapy: PAL and WAL liposuction
Aftercare: compression garments & lymph drainage
Scar care with medical silicones
Insurance coverage in Switzerland
