Lipedema should not define you. Redefine your normal! My mission is to tear down the barriers to care so that every Lipedema patient can get the world-class care she deserves.
Lipedema is a common and chronic condition affecting women, and it is estimated to occur in approximately 1 in 9 women in Canada. This causes to significant fat accumulation, particularly around the thighs and legs. With most cases developing during hormonal changes like puberty, pregnancy, or menopause.
Lipedema is a condition caused by fat cells and the surrounding connective tissue and disproportionately distributed in the lower body, and sometimes in the arms, and almost exclusively affects women. Fat is disproportionately increased in the hips and legs while remaining significantly lower in the abdomen
It is distinguishable by five characteristics:
Lipedema is a progressive adipose disorder often mistaken for obesity or lymphedema, characterized by disproportionate fat accumulation. At Lipœdème Montréal, Dr. Edouard Coeugniet, MSc., specializes in diagnosing and treating Lipedema, helping patients recognize its distinct signs and symptoms for early intervention. Below are the key indicators of Lipedema:
A gentle technique of liposuction is a very effective treatment option for lipedema. It is indicated for patients who exhausted the merits of conservative treatment. It works by removing the lipedema fat while sparing the lymphatic vessels. At Lipœdème Montréal, Dr. Edouard Coeugniet, MSc. uses Water-Jet Assisted Liposuction (WAL). During this process, Dr. Coeugniet will use physiologic water (saline) as a pulsating jet that releases the adipose tissue for liposuction.
Water jet assisted liposuction (WAL technique) is a gentle procedure that doesn’t affect underlying organs and structures, such as muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. It’s also precise and doesn’t cause pain.
This video demonstrates how Body-Jet water-assisted liposuction works to break up unwanted fat for easy removal.
Water-assisted liposuction offers a cutting-edge solution for those struggling with lipedema, It gently dislodges fat with a water-jet, preserving the delicate lymphatic vessels, blood vessels, and connective tissue. This minimizes trauma, reduces bruising, and helps alleviate the symptoms, swelling, and heaviness while improving mobility.
