Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n has extensive experience in the treatment of lipoedema, an underdiagnosed clinical condition with aesthetic implications that is often confused with other conditions such as lymphoedema, cellulite or localised fat. This condition has both clinical and aesthetic repercussions; therefore, assessment by a specialist physician is essential. <\/p>\n

Successful management of lipoedema begins with accurate identification of the condition, distinguishing it from other disorders that may present with similar clinical features.<\/p>\n

Specialised medical assessment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our specialists carry out a detailed clinical assessment, including medical history, physical examination and complementary tests such as bioelectrical impedance analysis and soft tissue ultrasound. This thorough evaluation allows the stage and extent of lipoedema to be classified and a personalised treatment plan to be designed. <\/p>\n

Multidisciplinary approach for comprehensive care<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lipoedema not only affects appearance but can also interfere with daily activities and significantly impact quality of life. For this reason, we work in coordination with endocrinologists, aesthetic medicine specialists and nutritionists<\/a> to address metabolic factors, inflammation and the aesthetic impact of the condition. This integrated approach allows us to offer solutions adapted to each patient, combining medical treatment, lifestyle guidance and aesthetic procedures to achieve sustained improvement in wellbeing. <\/p>\n

Lipoedema is managed through medical strategies and healthy habits aimed at alleviating symptoms and preventing disease progression.<\/p>\n

Compression garments and lymphatic drainage<\/strong><\/p>\n

The use of specialised compression garments is essential to improve lymphatic circulation, reduce swelling and relieve the pain commonly associated with lipoedema. In addition, manual lymphatic drainage, performed by specialists in lymphatic physiotherapy, helps reduce oedema and the sensation of heaviness in the limbs. <\/p>\n

Balanced diet and appropriate physical activity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although lipoedema does not respond to diet and exercise in the same way as other fat-related conditions, maintaining an appropriate diet and engaging in specific physical activity can help improve lymphatic function and mobility. At Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n, our specialists in nutrition and physiotherapy design personalised programmes to promote wellbeing and help control disease progression. <\/p>\n

Lipoedema surgery: WAL liposuction<\/h3>\n

Water-assisted liposuction (WAL) is an advanced surgical technique that uses very fine cannulas and small incisions to infiltrate a saline solution, facilitating the removal of the pathological fat characteristic of lipoedema, which is typically more abundant and fibrotic than normal localised fat.<\/p>\n

Specifically recommended for lipoedema<\/strong><\/p>\n

WAL is less invasive than conventional liposuction and more respectful of venous and lymphatic structures. It is designed to remove pathological fat in a precise and less traumatic manner. <\/p>\n

Faster recovery<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition, being less invasive than other techniques, this technique minimises bruising, swelling and post-operative pain, making the healing process faster. This technique is also effective in sculpting body contours and improving the appearance of areas affected by lipoedema. <\/p>\n

Advances in aesthetic medicine and medical technology have led to the development of non-surgical treatments that help improve the symptoms and appearance of lipoedema without the need for invasive procedures.<\/p>\n

Non-surgical methods to improve skin and reduce volume<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n, we use technologies such as radiofrequency, shock waves<\/a>, ultrasound<\/a> and cryolipolysis<\/a> to reduce localised fat<\/a>, improve skin elasticity and address the cellulite<\/a> associated with lipoedema. These techniques help redefine body contours and improve patient comfort without surgery. <\/p>\n

Complemented by aesthetic medicine treatments<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Beauty and Wellbeing Unit supports patients by offering aesthetic therapies such as LPG <\/a>Endermologie, mesotherapy and carboxytherapy<\/a>, aimed at improving skin quality and microcirculation in the affected limbs. These treatments are also indicated as part of post-surgical care for patients who have undergone surgical treatment for lipoedema.<\/p>\n

A guide to understanding lipoedema<\/mark><\/h2>\n

Although the term oedema refers to fluid accumulation, lipoedema is in fact a clinical condition characterised by abnormal accumulation and altered distribution of body fat. It is a disorder of adipose tissue marked by disproportionate and symmetrical fat deposition, most commonly affecting the lower limbs and typically extending from the hips to the ankles. <\/p>\n

This condition is frequently associated with overweight and obesity in a high proportion of cases. It is also often confused with other conditions such as different types of oedema, cellulite, obesity or localised fat. However, lipoedema is a clinical condition rather than a purely aesthetic one, even though it has a clear impact on body contour. <\/p>\n

Lipoedema affects almost exclusively women. Although its exact causes are not fully understood, a genetic predisposition is clearly recognised, as most affected patients have a family history. Hormonal factors also play a significant role, with the condition most commonly appearing at puberty.<\/p>\n

Symptoms of lipoedema<\/b><\/h3>\n

Lipoedema is characterised by an increase in leg volume due to fat accumulation<\/strong>. As the condition progresses, a clear disproportion develops between the lower and upper halves of the body. <\/p>\n

This increase in leg volume is commonly associated with a sensation of heaviness<\/strong> and hypersensitivity to pain,<\/strong> where even mild pressure on the affected area can cause discomfort. This pain sensitivity appears to be related to inflammation and tissue hypoxia (reduced oxygenation). Capillary fragility<\/strong> is also common, leading to easy bruising<\/strong>, either spontaneously or following minor trauma. <\/p>\n

Symptoms typically begin at puberty and may worsen over time, particularly when associated with significant weight gain.<\/p>\n

Lipoedema can lead to substantial emotional distress, negatively affecting mood and self-esteem, and can significantly impair quality of life. In more advanced cases, body contour may be markedly altered, potentially resulting in functional limitations and reduced mobility. <\/p>\n

How lipoedema is diagnosed<\/b><\/h3>\n

As lipoedema may be confused with obesity, fluid retention or firm cellulite, assessment by a specialist physician is essential. It is also important to note that lipoedema may occasionally coexist with lymphoedema<\/a>, resulting in lipo-lymphoedema, a more complex clinical condition that requires a specific multidisciplinary approach. <\/p>\n

For these reasons, at Grupo Pedro Ja\u00e9n we emphasise that any swelling, oedema or abnormal fat accumulation should always be evaluated by a specialist. Accurate medical assessment is crucial, as not all increases in leg volume share the same underlying cause or characteristics, and therefore require individualised management strategies.<\/p>\n

The diagnosis of lipoedema is primarily clinical<\/strong>, based on the patient\u2019s medical history and physical examination. In addition, specialists perform bioelectrical impedance analysis to assess body composition and the proportion of different tissues (fat, muscle, fluid). Ultrasound examination is also used to evaluate subcutaneous tissue characteristics and to identify any associated oedema. <\/p>\n

In certain cases, blood tests, venous system studies using Doppler ultrasound, or isotopic lymphoscintigraphy may be required to assess possible associated lymphatic alterations.<\/p>\n

Treatment of lipoedema<\/h3>\n

Management of lipoedema must be individualised and adapted to the clinical situation of each patient. In general, treatment involves several complementary approaches: <\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Physical exercise and a healthy diet” content_last_edited=”off|desktop” admin_label=”S4conmutador1 – Margen top \/ base: 30, relleno topo \/ base: 25.” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”340b8c79-26d7-4fad-8112-9bf37cf22d23″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Although lipoedema is not caused solely by excess weight or poor diet, regular physical activity and a balanced, healthy diet are essential to maintain appropriate body weight and help control the abnormal fat distribution characteristic of this condition. In a significant proportion of patients, lipoedema is associated with obesity, which should be addressed as a priority with the support of our Endocrinology and Nutrition specialists. <\/p>\n

The use of specialised compression garments is essential to improve lymphatic circulation, reduce swelling and relieve the pain commonly associated with lipoedema. In addition, manual lymphatic drainage, performed by specialists in lymphatic physiotherapy, helps reduce oedema and the sensation of heaviness in the limbs. <\/p>\n
