As part of our lipedema consultation, our experienced specialists place great emphasis on getting to know your individual situation.

If you have already had a diagnostic consultation with another doctor and are still unsure or would like another opinion, we are very happy to provide a second opinion. We take the time to discuss your questions and concerns and help you find the treatment that is best suited to you.

For thorough and transparent planning, we create an exact 3D scan of your body with our MyLIPOAvatar. This advanced procedure allows what is currently likely the most precise therapy planning available on the market.

After my lipoedema diagnosis in summer 2022, I started looking for a suitable clinic for liposuction. Lipocura was the 2nd clinic I looked at and I was so positively surprised, as the difference to the clinic before was like night and day.

During my first consultation in fall 2022, they took almost 90 minutes of time for me and I just felt really well advised and taken care of. My first operation was then at the beginning of March 2023 at the Beethoven Clinic in Cologne with Mr. Kurpanek. My second and last operation was in May 2023. 16 liters were removed in total.
Everything has now healed perfectly, most of the scars are barely visible and I am so incredibly happy with the end result. Not only am I now completely pain-free, but I feel really comfortable in my body again for the first time in years.

I am incredibly grateful to Lipocura for this.

I had my first experience with Lipocura in September 2022 during my first consultation. I then quickly decided on this clinic and had my first liposuction for lipoedema in December 2022 at the Beethoven Clinic in Cologne. My second and, for the time being, last procedure was then in April 2023. Both the consultation and the pre-op and post-op consultations and aftercare were great and I felt that I was in good hands the whole time. The entire team was friendly, courteous and considerate. All my wishes were taken into account and my fears were allayed.

LipoCura Cologne – It was truly miraculous. I have a lot of surgical and aftercare (concept) experience. Mrs. Görg totally picked me up both in the consultation and on the day of the operation (& the day after). I felt that I was in good hands with her. My aftercare support from the nursing team was also absolutely fantastic. Many, many thanks to Robin and Marina! Dr. Dreja explained everything to me over the phone during the week and answered all my questions competently and patiently. The anesthesia and pain therapy were great! Thank you LipoCura for not cutting corners. Finally, the fact that such great single rooms with a bathroom are a matter of course here – great! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for my new wings.

I was there for a consultation. I was treated with respect and received a very warm welcome. They took enough time for me and gave me comprehensive advice. Dr. Heimerl listens to you well and answers all your questions in detail. I can recommend it with a clear conscience.

I had my first operation at Lipocura in Hamburg in January, after receiving very comprehensive and competent consultation from Dr Tankred Heimerl at the end of last year regarding Lipedema in general and the possible treatment options. I felt understood and in good hands right from the start. I am still very happy with my decision to have surgery there and my experience so far gives me a positive outlook for my second upcoming operation. Many thanks to the entire Lipocura team in Hamburg! 😊

I was looking for experts & had never had an operation before.Because of my already slim silhouette, I was looking for a professional liposuction result that looked good.It was also important to me that the diseased fat was radically removed & I kept coming across lipocura during my research

Everyone was super friendly!I feel I’m in good hands there, I’ve already had two out of three operations & I would always choose Lipocura again.The best choice for me.

Dr. Isaev: do you see the genuine smile and joy of this doctor? He really is one of the best doctors I have ever seen for my lipoedema. I can’t even put into words how nice it is to finally be able to live properly and then these thin legs…which I have NEVER had in my life. Thank you Lipocura for everything, I’m really looking forward to the aftercare and seeing you again <3

I had a thorough, detailed and very competent consultation with Lipocura today. I was offered appointments patiently and in a friendly manner beforehand until it worked out for me. I was thoroughly examined and the findings were clarified with an ultrasound. I can only recommend Lipocura.

A very friendly doctor. Took a lot of time to explain the next steps to me in detail. The doctor’s assistant was also very courteous and friendly

I only made the appointment with Lipocura because my endocrinologist “persuaded” me to do so.Now I am infinitely grateful to have made and kept the appointment!The atmosphere was very pleasant right from the start. I received a friendly welcome and was given detailed and understandable advice. After the consultation, I received all the documents by e-mail and there were even 2 “readings” on the subject of lipoedema. I can definitely recommend Lipocura. Many thanks to the team!

Dear Lipocurateam Stuttgart,
I can hardly put into words how grateful I am for the extraordinary experience I had during my treatment with you. As a former lipoedema patient who is now cured, I am overjoyed with the outstanding surgical result and the wonderful aesthetics you have achieved.
I felt I was in the best hands with you from the very beginning. The empathetic and professional team made me feel safe right from the start and I could feel that my well-being and needs were always at the center of attention.
The result of the surgery exceeded all my expectations and has changed my life in so many positive ways. I finally feel comfortable in my own skin and can enjoy my life to the full again.
But it wasn’t just the surgical result that impressed me. The service during my stay was also first class. The friendly and attentive staff made sure that I felt completely comfortable and well looked after.
And the food – simply delicious!
I would like to thank everyone at the Karlshöhe clinic from the bottom of my heart. You have changed my life and given me new self-confidence. I can’t praise you enough! 💖

I went for a diagnosis and consultation with Dr. Haas in October. He took a lot of time for a detailed diagnosis and consultation. He explained to me in detail the clinical picture and the various options for dealing with it, both conservatively and surgically. He also answered my questions immediately afterwards by e-mail. I don’t take it for granted that a doctor takes so much time and I am convinced that he is very knowledgeable in his field. In no way was any surgical therapy imposed on me. I am very happy with my decision to see him.

Mrs. Traintinger is a very emphatic and sympathetic doctor, so I felt very comfortable!
Unfortunately, I am very sensitive to pain, but she was able to allay my fears and was always empathetic.
She also took the time to explain everything to me in detail and responded to my wishes.
I am very happy with the result and everything has healed well!
I would go to her again and again and can only recommend her to others!

I ran from one doctor to another and no one could help me or give me any tips. at the first consultation I was given addresses and a guide that was completely tailored to me. I am very satisfied that they finally listened to me and took me seriously.

What I hoped for: to finally be taken seriously with my pain.
What I received: Understanding, competent and empathetic doctors who do everything they can to make me feel better. I have to say that I wanted to make an appointment for the operation straight away at the initial consultation. However, the doctor asked me to sleep on it for a few more nights to be really sure. At no time did I have the feeling that I was being pressured into an operation. The diagnosis of lipoedema was then confirmed by an independent phlebologist. This second diagnosis is required for the tax, which my doctor and the pre-op checklist pointed out to me. After the operation, I was greeted by a caring team, you feel totally at ease in the clinic because the girls look after you so well. After 2 out of 4 operations, I can now finally do exercises on the trampoline without pain and walking is also much easier. The results of my arms are already impressive 6 weeks after the operation 😍

THE practice for the treatment of lipoedema! A few years ago I diagnosed myself via their website and then made an appointment. My self-diagnosis was confirmed. In the meantime I have already had 2 operations. I was operated on by Dr. Sauter, who is a very empathetic and attentive person. As a doctor, he works carefully and is really competent. He always takes time for his patients, which I personally find very important.
I also think it’s great that the practice conducts research into lipoedema. This is the only way that the disease will be recognized in the long term and treatment will be covered by health insurance.
Although this practice is in the upper price segment, I wouldn’t want to change. Quality has its price…better an expensive and high quality treatment by a specialist than a cheap botched job with necroses and dents by a surgeon who has no idea about lipoedema.

My first liposuction is over & so far I’m incredibly happy – my recovery is going great & the results so far look fantastic. The consultation via video & in person on site were both convincing and I could choose Mr. Sauter as my treating surgeon with a clear conscience. Even now after the operation, I was able to ask him questions about my second & upcoming operation. I didn’t get the impression from him that he was trying to sell me this expensive operation – he is more concerned that his patients are safe. I would like to thank him in advance and look forward to a life free of lipedema!
