Tips for the healing period

Lipedema & comorbidities
Blog l October 3, 2025 Lipedema – more than "just" a fat distribution disorder. Lipedema often brings with it additional symptoms that remain undetected for a long time but significantly impact quality of life.
Lipedema & Hormones
Blog l September 12, 2025 Many women are familiar with this: puberty, pregnancy, or menopause change the body – amplified by hormones. These can cause fat cells to grow, water retention, and even trigger lipedema attacks.
Medical Gaslighting
Blog l August 29, 2025 "A little bit of fat is part of being a woman..." – many sufferers hear such phrases when they seek help. However, the symptoms are often caused by a serious condition like lipedema. When this is ignored or downplayed, it's referred to as medical gaslighting.
Lipedema & health insurance coverage
Blog l August 15, 2025 Good news for German lipedema patients!
The Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) decided on July 17, 2025: In the future, liposuction for lipedema will be covered by health insurance companies in all stages (I–III) – for legs and arms.
Lipedema & heredity
Blog l August 1, 2025 If lipedema has already occurred in the family, many women ask themselves: “Could it happen to me too?” This concern is justified, because in many cases the disease occurs frequently in families – often across several generations.
Time after surgery
Blog l July 25, 2025 The period after liposuction can be physically and emotionally challenging. Your legs are swollen, movement is painful—sometimes you wonder: Was this the right decision? That's when it helps to focus on the bigger picture.
Time before surgery
Blog l July 11, 2025 Stability and trust begin beforehand. Surgery doesn't begin in the operating room. It begins in the mind, in everyday life – the sooner, the better. We have tips for you to prepare as best as possible.
Lipedema & health insurance
Blog l 27 June, 2025 Since 2020, statutory health insurance companies in Germany have been able to cover the costs of lipedema surgery under certain conditions – but only in stage 3 and with a BMI below 35.
Lipedema & Pregnancy

Lipedema and the tax return
Blog l April 18, 2025 Your lipedema surgery is tax-deductible! If your liposuction is medically necessary and not covered by your health insurance, you can claim the costs as an extraordinary expense on your tax return.
Study: Lipedema and Obesity
Blog l April 4, 2025 Scientists analyzed the fatty tissue of lipedema sufferers and compared it with that of unaffected women—in a lean (non-obese) and an overweight (obese) group. They focused on the structure of the fat cells, the presence of immune cells, and changes in the blood and lymph vessels in the affected area—typically the thigh.
Nutritional advice for lipedema
Blog l March 23, 2025 Dietitian Kristina Neuhuber offers valuable nutritional tips for lipedema. Although lipedema cannot be cured through diet alone, it plays a key role – especially before and after surgery. A long-term, anti-inflammatory diet can positively influence the clinical picture and specifically reduce the obesity component that often accompanies lipedema.
Mobilization after liposuction
Blog l March 7, 2025 After liposuction, it's especially important to find the right balance between recovery and exercise. On the one hand, you want to get fit again quickly, but on the other, you need to give your body sufficient time to heal. Training too early or incorrectly can delay recovery, while targeted exercises can help reduce swelling, promote circulation, and strengthen your muscles.
