Ursachen und Symptome des Lipödems - LipoZentrum Dr. Heck in Salzburg

Causes and symptoms of lipedema

With lipedema, those affected suffer from a feeling of pressure that can even cause great pain and have a strong tendency to bruise. However, the mechanism by which the fat distribution disorder develops is still largely unknown. A genetic predisposition is considered likely because it often occurs in families. Often, even excessive exercise and strict dietary measures have little or no effect on the painful disease.

The causes

Stadien und Typen des Lipödems - LipoZentrum Dr. Heck in Salzburg

Stages and types of lipedema

Lipedema is medically divided into three stages and four types. However, this division says nothing about the pain and symptoms. For example, lipedema in stage I can already be very painful and restrictive for the affected patient. It is therefore important to us to get to know you and your medical history in a detailed consultation in order to adapt our therapy standard to your individual needs if necessary.

Operative Therapie des Lipödems - LipoZentrum Dr. Heck in Salzburg

Surgical treatment of lipedema

The LipoZentrum Dr. Heck uses water jet assisted liposuction (WAL). In this lymph and tissue-sparing procedure, the fat cells are separated from their surroundings using a pulsating, fan-shaped water jet and sucked out in the same step. Around 2500 operations are carried out using this technique every year at all locations.

About the therapies

Dr. Falk-Christian Heck, founder of the LipoZentrum

Dr. Falk-Christian Heck, Facharzt für Allgemeinchirurgie, Unfallchirurgie und Orthopädie, Gründer der LipoClinic Dr. Heck

Almost twenty years ago, Dr. Falk-Christian Heck was approached by a colleague about lipedema, a disease that was almost unknown at the time. The women affected were met with neither acceptance nor understanding by doctors. To this day, lipedema is often misinterpreted by laypeople as being overweight and obesity (adiposity) as a result of excessive eating. And even our specialist colleagues often fail to diagnose the disease correctly!

As an experienced surgeon, Dr. Heck then developed a completely new and sustainably effective surgical method: radical and circular lipodecompression.

Permanently stop the progression of the diseaseBecome pain-freeNot having to wear any or only light compression garmentsRestore satisfaction with the body, lightness and quality of life

These are our goals at LipoZentrum Dr. Heck GmbH!
