Your Lipedema Team

Specializing in lipedema. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Your medical team

The Lipedema Center is staffed by an experienced team of specialists in plastic and aesthetic surgery. Every patient has her own story, her own medical history, and her own questions—which is precisely why we place such a high value on providing personalized, attentive, and honest care.

We believe in a treatment approach that isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for every patient, but rather one that is tailored to each patient’s symptoms, medical findings, daily life, and personal goals. That’s why we take the time to conduct a thorough assessment, provide an honest evaluation, and develop a treatment plan that is medically sound and personally meaningful.

Medicine never stands still—and neither do we. Regular continuing education and professional exchange are a given for us. This is how we ensure that our diagnostics, consultations, and treatments are always up-to-date and well-founded.

    At the Lipedema Center, we support patients with our experience, specialized expertise, and a clear understanding of each individual’s situation. At our locations in Bonn and Cologne, we combine medical expertise with personalized care.

    We aim not only to provide medical care for patients with lipedema, but also to offer them guidance, reassurance, and a treatment plan that truly fits their individual situation. For us, the focus is not just on diagnosis and surgery, but also on trust, education, and a treatment approach that views the person as a whole.
