Prof Dr Jennifer Schiefer about lipoedema in Cologne
„Many patients come to us because they have experienced pain, tenderness or an increasing feeling of heaviness over the years. That's why we take a close look in Cologne: What are the symptoms, which areas are affected and what treatment is medically appropriate? Liposuction for lipoedema should always be planned individually and followed up carefully.“

Highest standards in liposuction
At LIPOhelp® in Cologne, our doctors Mr Prof Dr K.-H. Broer, Mrs Prof Dr J. Schiefer and Mrs Dr S. Kästner for precise diagnosis, initiation of conservative treatment and surgical therapy. Thanks to Prof. Broer's many years of experience in the field of general gynaecology, but especially in the field of endocrinology (hormone-related changes) and Dr Schiefer's many years of experience in the field of plastic surgery with a focus on liposuction, our doctors can clarify and treat the often complex causes of lipoedema in detail with a high level of expertise. We are available to you in Cologne both by telephone and during our special consultation hours practically around the clock!
Conservative therapy or surgery with gentle liposuction
It has now been scientifically proven that, in addition to conservative, i.e. non-surgical treatment options, the most efficient and safest method of treating lipoedema permanently is to remove the diseased fat cells as completely as possible by means of liposuction. As at our other locations, in Cologne we also specialise in diagnosis (including clarification of possible hormonal causes), conservative therapy and, if indicated, particularly gentle liposuction (SmartSculpting). SmartSculpting refers to the use of state-of-the-art liposuction techniques, as LIPOhelp® aims to work as gently and with as little scarring as possible, i.e. minimally invasive. By using these techniques, the time required for healing and the potential risk of unwanted side effects can be minimised.

Lipoedema surgery in Cologne - important questions & answers
What processes take place before lipoedema treatment?
Before the lipoedema treatment in Salzburg can begin, you will first have a detailed and personal consultation. Our specialists will ask you about possible pre-existing conditions and other aspects. All important factors relating to lipoedema surgery will also be answered in full. Only through optimal counselling can you find the right treatment method and the optimal treatment plan.
What is the purpose of the lipoedema preliminary consultation?
The pre-operation consultation is there to find out whether all treatment methods that belong to the non-surgical or conservative therapy options have actually been used. Among other things, circumference measurements, photos from previous years and body weight are relevant. Once all factors have been weighed up, a decision is made as to whether surgery is indicated.
Which anaesthetic can you opt for if you have decided to have lipoedema surgery in Salzburg?
When the operation is scheduled, you will be safely accompanied by anaesthetists, specialist surgical nurses and other experienced specialist staff. The operation is often performed under local anaesthesia for very minor findings. However, you can also opt for twilight sleep or a general anaesthetic, which is necessary for extensive findings as part of lipoedema treatment in Salzburg.
What happens after lipoedema surgery in Salzburg?
After the operation, you will be cared for in the recovery room. You will be cared for until you are fully awake and your circulation is stable. You will then be taken to your room on the ward and usually discharged home the following day. If you have any further questions, you can of course contact our team at any time.
