However, before you decide to have this operation, we recommend that you exhaust the <strong>conservative<\/strong> treatment options. It is also important to rule out other causes of increased circumference, such as <strong>lymphoedema<\/strong> or oedema caused by internal diseases, which are indicated by their specific symptoms.  <\/p><h3>Liposuction for a better quality of life<\/h3><p>Liposuction drastically reduces the amount of fatty tissue affected by lipoedema on the arms and legs (or hips and bottom), which is accompanied by a significant <strong>reduction in both physical and psychological discomfort<\/strong>. Our patients benefit in particular from the reduced tendency to swell and the <strong>reduction in pain<\/strong>. This can significantly improve patients&#8217; quality of life.  <\/p><h3>Modern and gentle surgical method<\/h3><p>In principle, the procedure for lipoedema is performed in the same way as described in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yuveo.de\/en\/op\/body\/liposuction-duesseldorf\/\">liposuction<\/a> article. A popular procedure is <strong>PAL<\/strong> <strong>(power-assisted liposuction)<\/strong>, which uses micro-vibrations to ensure better tissue protection. In other words, it could also be said that <strong>more<\/strong> <strong>fatty tissue<\/strong> can be suctioned out of the lipoedema than with the conventional technique due to the tissue protection.  <\/p><h3>Suction volumes vary greatly<\/h3><p>The volumes that are suctioned depend on the symptoms of the women and the stage of lipoedema.
