Lipoedema Treatment at VitalGlobalCare
Understanding Lipoedema
Lipoedema is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of fat, typically in the lower body, including the hips, thighs, and legs, and in some cases, the arms. This fat is resistant to traditional weight-loss methods such as diet and exercise. Common symptoms include pain, tenderness, swelling, easy bruising, and a disproportionate body shape. Left untreated, lipoedema can lead to severe mobility issues and emotional distress.
Our Specialized Services for Lipoedema Patients
At VitalGlobalCare, we offer a range of advanced treatments to address lipoedema at every stage:
Consultation and Diagnosis
Our team of expert specialists ensures an accurate diagnosis by assessing the patient's medical history, symptoms, and physical examination. We understand the importance of early detection and the correct classification of lipoedema stages to provide effective care.
Surgical Solutions: Advanced Lipoedema Liposuction
We specialize in tumescent liposuction and water-jet assisted liposuction (WAL)—the most effective surgical techniques for safely removing lipoedema fat while preserving lymphatic function. These procedures are performed by experienced surgeons to reshape affected areas, reduce pain, and restore mobility.
Post-Surgical Care and Recovery
Our post-operative care program includes tailored recovery plans to ensure optimal results. Patients receive guidance on wearing compression garments, pain management, and follow-up appointments to track progress and healing.
Body Contouring Procedures
Body contouring is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat, and to reshape various parts of the body for a more toned and youthful appearance. These procedures help improve body proportions and restore confidence, often following significant weight loss or pregnancy.
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)
A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen and tighten the abdominal muscles for a flatter and more toned appearance.

- Women with stretched abdominal muscles due to pregnancy.
- Patients who have lost significant weight and have loose skin.
Procedure Details:
- Performed under general anaesthesia.
- Incision made from hip to hip, below the bikini line.
