Lipedema Treatment in Abu Dhabi

Elyzee Hospital in Abu Dhabi offers advanced surgical treatment for lipedema — a condition that causes abnormal fat accumulation in the legs, thighs, and buttocks, often leading to pain, swelling, and emotional distress. Our experts use safe, lymphatic-preserving liposuction techniques to restore comfort, mobility, and body confidence.

What Is Lipedema?

Lipedema is a chronic medical condition where fat builds up disproportionately in the lower body. It is not caused by obesity or lifestyle habits, and diet or exercise alone cannot remove this type of fat. Patients often experience heaviness, sensitivity to touch, easy bruising, and difficulty with mobility.

Consultation & Treatment Planning

At Elyzee Hospital, your journey begins with a detailed consultation. Our plastic surgeon evaluates your condition, discusses your symptoms, and creates a customized surgical plan that prioritizes both function and aesthetics.

How the Procedure Works

Lipedema surgery involves specialized liposuction techniques designed to remove diseased fat while preserving lymphatic structures.

The procedure includes:

  • Precise fat removal from affected areas using lymph-sparing techniques
  • Use of tumescent or water-assisted liposuction to reduce trauma
  • Surgery performed under anesthesia for comfort and safety

Recovery & Aftercare

  • Compression garments for several weeks
  • Gradual return to normal physical activity
  • Follow-up visits to monitor healing

Most patients begin to see improvement in pain and mobility within the first few weeks.

Results

As swelling reduces, patients notice slimmer legs, reduced discomfort, better mobility, and improved quality of life. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle supports long-lasting results.
