Lipedema is a common disease that affects around one in ten women. However, the painful increase in fatty tissue is often not recognized or correctly diagnosed.
At the LipoZentrum Dr. Heck, only lipedema patients are treated according to a standardized treatment protocol that has been developed over many years. This means we can guarantee consistently high quality treatment results.
The LipoZentrum Dr. Heck is committed to intensive research into lipedema.
We are here for you. Please call us (Tel.: 43 720 81 57 99) or fill out our contact form.
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.
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.
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.
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.
These are our goals at LipoZentrum Dr. Heck GmbH!
