Dr. Coeugniet specializes in highly specific surgical solutions tailored to the unique pathology of Lipedema.

Our team provides a compassionate, bilingual, and supportive environment, guiding you through every step—from your initial diagnosis in Westmount to a recovery focused on restoring your mobility and quality of life.
With his extensive training in Germany under world-renowned experts and his adoption of cutting-edge technology like the body-jet® evo system, Dr. Coeugniet is pioneering WAL as a targeted, effective treatment for lipedema in Canada.
Our holistic approach treats the whole you—not just symptoms—through customized plans combining surgery, conservative therapies, and dedicated follow-up. Through a patient-centered focus, we aim to improve the quality of life for every person living with lipedema, alleviating discomfort and unlocking a more active, empowered you.
