Title
[Lipoedema--current status, new perspectives]
Abstract
Because of the lifelong and often progressive course and the mental trauma to the patients, lipoedema is an important dermatologic disorder. Complex physical therapy programs were introduced as a standard therapy years ago and can achieve an impressive oedema reduction. Liposuction in tumescent local anesthesia with vibrating microcannulas has proved to be a new effective treatment. A targeted and permanent reduction of the fat tissue leads to an increased quality of life due to an improved appearance, reduced tendency to swelling and less pain.
