Is it safe to travel abroad for cheaper liposuction treatments?

While cheaper options abroad may be tempting, they often come with risks, including lower safety standards, inadequate aftercare, and complications from long-distance travel after surgery.

Lipedema Treatment with Liposuction

Conveniently located to serve London

Excess fat accumulation in the legs, thighs, and arms can cause lipoedema, which can cause discomfort and mobility issues. Dr. Foued Hamza offers treatment with liposuction in London to help alleviate these lipedema symptoms effectively. His approach prioritizes patient safety and satisfaction, ensuring you receive high-quality care.

What Is Lipedema Treatment with Liposuction?

Lipoedema is a condition where fat accumulates disproportionately in areas like the legs, hips, and arms, and it is resistant to diet and exercise. Lipoedema treatment with liposuction removes this excess fat, relieving pain and mobility issues.

Dr. Hamza uses micro-cannula liposuction, a minimally invasive technique targeting fat cells while preserving surrounding tissue. This method offers precise fat removal, smoother results, and faster recovery.

Benefits of Lipedema Treatment with Liposuction

There are many advantages to lipedema treatment with liposuction, including:

Relief from chronic pain and swelling
Improved mobility and overall comfort
Enhanced body proportions with smoother contours
Minimally invasive procedure with less trauma to the body
Faster recovery compared to traditional liposuction methods

Am I a Good Candidate for Lipedema Liposuction?

The ideal candidates for liposuction for lipedema are those who experience discomfort, swelling, or pain due to lipoedema and have not found relief through non-surgical methods. It would help to have good overall health and realistic expectations about the outcome. Dr. Hamza will assess your suitability for the procedure during a consultation.

What Happens During Your Lipedema Treatment with Liposuction

During lipedema surgery, Dr. Hamza offers micro-cannula liposuction, which involves gently using fine cannulas to remove excess fat. The small cannulas are inserted through tiny incisions, allowing for precise fat removal without damaging surrounding blood vessels, nerves, or tissues. This approach is less invasive than traditional liposuction, making it an excellent option for treating lipoedema.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Since the technique is gentler, the risk of bruising and swelling is lower, and patients typically experience a quicker recovery.

What to Expect During Recovery

After your lipedema liposuction procedure, you can expect mild bruising and swelling, which will subside within a few weeks. You’ll need to wear compression garments to support healing and reduce swelling. Most patients return to light activities within a few days and can resume everyday routines in about one to two weeks, depending on the extent of the treatment.

How Much Does Lipedema Treatment with Liposuction Cost?

Lipoedema liposuction costs vary based on the severity of the condition and the areas treated. Dr. Hamza will provide you with a personalized cost estimate during your consultation.

How long do the results of liposuction for lipedema last?

The results are long-lasting, as the fat cells removed do not grow back. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help preserve the results over time.

How many sessions of liposuction will I need?

The number of sessions depends on the severity of your lipoedema and the areas affected. Some patients may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired outcome.

Lipoedema patient ; Upper legs (in my case)

I have been struggling with heavy legs and constant pain since I was 15. I was always advised to drink more water and train. I train 1 to 2 hours daily, and I eat healthy food. My upper body became completely lean, but my lower legs stayed the same; just fat. I knew something was wrong. I went to several doctors, but everyone told me the same thing: “drink and train.”

Finally, I found information online about lipoedema. The photos I saw looked exactly like my legs. I immediately knew that this was my condition, and that the only way to become pain-free and feel good about my legs again was through liposuction. I was scared, and when I asked for advice, many people told me to go abroad. But then I found Dr. Hamza, who operates in MALTA.

I contacted Dr. Hamza, and as soon as he saw me, without me saying anything, he told me, “lipoedema.” I felt so relieved. Finally, someone gave me a real answer! I had the operation within a month, and now it has been one month since the procedure.

I’m already back on track, running for an hour with no more pain. WOW !

My legs feel light;what an incredible feeling!

Thank you, Dr. Hamza. After years and years of trying to understand why my legs felt so heavy, I finally got the answer and the result I always wanted.

Attaching photo from internet, i was in stage 1 at 30 years old. 1 in 10 women have this condition. Go and check it out! This condition is no joke!

Finally we have someone who can treat us in MALTA! dr hamza. .
