WAL LIPOSUCTION \u2013 WATER-ASSISTED<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

The intelligent use of the force of a water jet is the basis of water-assisted liposuction in the treatment of lipedema.<\/p>\n\n

Lipedema is a chronic disease of adipose tissue in which, due to still unknown mechanisms, it grows locally and disproportionately, associated with circulatory disorders. The affected tissue is painful and does not respond to systemic, dietary, or exercise-based treatments. <\/p>\n\n

\"Water-assisted<\/figure>\n\n

LIPOEDEMA DOES NOT RESPOND TO SYSTEMIC, DIETARY, OR EXERCISE-BASED TREATMENTS<\/h3>\n\n

It generally begins after a hormonal change (puberty, contraceptives, pregnancy, or menopause) and progresses inevitably without treatment.<\/p>\n\n

Although complex decongestive therapy (CDT) helps relieve and improve symptoms, the definitive treatment can only be the removal of this tissue. Liposuction is the undisputed treatment of choice for resolving lipedema. <\/p>\n\n

The innovation offered by WAL technology lies in the combination of a selective water jet force and gentle suction. This allows for much more delicate tissue handling and the use of smaller, more refined and precise cannulas. The result is a reduction in postoperative bruising, pain, and inflammation, leading to a shorter and smoother recovery. <\/p>\n\n

For the surgeon, in addition to reducing surgical time, the ability to infiltrate and aspirate simultaneously means using a smaller amount of medication in the tumescent solution. For the patient, this results in a lower medication load and a faster recovery. <\/p>\n\n

In addition, the fan-shaped dispersion of the jet and its pulsed infiltration ensure the protection of connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels.<\/p>\n\n

LIPOSUCTION IS THE UNDISPUTED METHOD OF CHOICE FOR THE TREATMENT OF LIPEDEMA<\/h3>\n\n

The specific technique developed with Human Med\u2019s WAL system for lipedema allows us to separate fat cells and gently aspirate them through the same blunt-tipped cannula, ensuring the protection of surrounding structures.<\/p>\n\n

The evo system of body-jet\u00ae allows for more precise control of the intensity and effectiveness of the water jet, as well as the amount of solution infiltrated and the total volume. This simplifies and speeds up the liposuction surgical process, offering advantages for both the patient and the surgeon. <\/p>\n\n

        OUR SYSTEM:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

        We have developed not only a surgical technique but an integral treatment approach, supported by more than 15 years of experience in liposuction and 10 years of experience in the field of WAL, as well as a network of professionals who treat lipedema from the preoperative stage through to postoperative care.<\/p>\n\n

        DIAGNOSIS:<\/h3>\n\n

        After a thorough evaluation of the patient and a diagnosis confirmed by different specialists, a treatment plan is established in which liposuction is, of course, the central component. However, dietary and nutritional advice, exercise guidance, compression garment management, and patient support throughout the entire process are all part of our approach. <\/p>\n\n
