What Patients Say About Their Experience?
Patients from different countries choose LipoZentrum Dr. Heck for its specialized focus on lipedema treatment, structured care, and personal support throughout the treatment process.
I had two lipedema surgeries performed at LipoZentrum Dr. Heck – the lower legs in December and the thighs at the end of February – both by Dr. Francia. Looking back, I can say: It was one of the best decisions of my life.
Dr. Francia is an absolute powerwoman. She radiates incredible strength, calmness, and professionalism, which immediately gives you a sense of security from the very first moment. You can instantly tell that you are dealing with a true expert who knows exactly what she is doing. Her competence, precision, and eye for aesthetics give you the confidence that you are in the best possible hands. To me, she truly is the Wonder Woman of the operating room – and her Wonder Woman mask suits her perfectly. A big thank you also goes to the wonderful nursing team: Gordana, Simona, and Anna. They take care of the patients in such a warm-hearted yet highly professional way. Especially after surgery, when emotional support is needed, they are there with warmth and attentiveness. They make sure everything is clean, care for you lovingly, and constantly check that you truly have everything you need.
Today, after both surgeries, I can say: For the first time in my life, I am looking forward to the upcoming summer. More than 10 liters of diseased lipedema fat removed from my legs means: lighter legs, no pain, short dresses – a completely new feeling of life. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Francia and the entire team for this professional and outstanding work. Absolute recommendation. – Julia Stechl
I had an entirely positive experience at LipoZentrum Dr. Heck in Salzburg, which I can wholeheartedly recommend. From the very beginning, I felt understood, taken seriously, and incredibly well cared for. Already during the consultation in September with Donika and Dr. Francia, I realized that I had finally found people who truly understand my condition.
Before my first surgery, I was very afraid, but Nurse Anna, Elli, and Laura were able to completely take away my fears through their compassionate and caring support. The surgery itself went excellently thanks to Dr. Francia and her wonderful team. Her calmness, professionalism, and the time she takes for her patients gave me great confidence. The aftercare is also absolutely exemplary. I was able to contact Dr. Francia and Donika directly at any time. A special compliment also goes to the night nurse Simona, who took an incredible amount of time for us during the night after the surgery. Thanks to her help, I felt extremely well cared for and was able to prepare optimally for my journey home the next day.
The surgery improved my quality of life by 100 percent. I look forward to continuing my journey with this wonderful team and would like to express my deepest thanks and sincere praise. I can recommend LipoZentrum Dr. Heck in Salzburg without reservation to every person affected by lipedema 🙏🏻✨🌸 - Anna Magdalena Westreicher
