Do you live with that constant heaviness in your legs, that painful, stubborn swelling that never seems to go away, no matter what you try? Many people spend years blaming themselves for it, without knowing that there is a medical explanation and real solutions.

Lipedema isn't a simple aesthetic concern. It's a chronic disorder of adipose tissue that causes painful, disproportionate fat buildup, usually around the thighs and hips, and sometimes the arms. This condition doesn't just affect your body; it impacts your mobility, your comfort, and often your confidence.

Today, lipedema reduction surgery in Turkey provides a targeted, effective way to relieve these symptoms. Using gentle liposuction methods specifically designed for lipedema and relying on the expertise of specialized surgeons, each affected area can be treated with precision and safety to help you regain ease of movement and peace of mind.

Cost of Lipedema reduction surgery in Turkey

The cost of lipedema reduction surgery in Turkey varies based on the number of areas treated, the surgical technique used, and the overall complexity of your case. As a reference, prices in our specialized partner clinics generally start from €2,500 for a complete treatment performed by surgeons trained in lymph-protective methods such as WAL or VASER liposuction.

This investment reflects not only the procedure itself but also the expertise of highly qualified surgeons, the use of safe, accredited medical facilities, and the specific precautions required for treating a chronic condition like lipedema.

Your final price will depend on factors such as your body type, the stage of your lipedema, and whether multiple sessions are recommended for optimal, safe results.

To receive an accurate cost estimate, simply send us your photos. You will receive, with no obligation:

  • A preliminary assessment by our medical team
  • A transparent, personalized quote from a partner clinic
  • An introduction to the surgeon and the recommended technique for your case

This patient was treated for Lipedema surgery

What is lipedema?

Lipedema is a chronic fat disorder that primarily affects women, causing disproportionate, painful fat accumulation in the legs, hips, and sometimes the arms. Unlike regular weight gain, lipedema fat does not respond to diet or exercise and often worsens over time. Patients frequently experience easy bruising, swelling, and a feeling of heaviness that can interfere with daily activities and overall mobility.

The exact cause of lipedema is not fully understood, but research suggests a combination of genetic predisposition and hormonal factors, particularly related to estrogen. Family history often plays a role, and the condition can develop or worsen during periods of hormonal change, such as puberty, pregnancy, or menopause.

Common signs and symptoms

Lipedema is often misdiagnosed as obesity or lymphedema, which can delay treatment for years. Recognizing the signs early is essential:

Stages of lipedema

Medical experts classify lipedema into four stages based on severity:

If these symptoms sound familiar, taking the first step is simpler than you think. Connect with Turquie Santé today to explore personalized treatment options and receive a professional assessment from experienced lipedema surgeons in Turkey, helping you plan a safe, realistic, and effective journey toward relief and improved quality of life.

Why consider lipedema reduction surgery?

Living with lipedema involves more than just an aesthetic concern; it impacts your mobility, comfort, and confidence. Although conservative methods such as compression therapy, exercise, and diet can help manage symptoms, they cannot eliminate the pathological fat that characterizes the condition. This is where surgery becomes a transformative solution.

Lipedema reduction surgery specifically targets the abnormal fat deposits that resist conventional weight loss. It provides:

For patients who are ready to take control, surgery is an opportunity to regain freedom of movement and improve their quality of life.

Ready to take the next step? Contact Turquie Santé today for a personalized consultation. Learn about the surgical approach that best suits your needs and how our team in Turkey ensures a safe, comfortable, and effective experience.

Types of lipoedema surgery performed in Turkey

Choosing the right surgical technique is crucial for safe, effective, and long-lasting lipoedema treatment. In Turkey, specialized clinics offer procedures tailored to each patient, focusing on gentle and precise fat removal.

WAL (Water-assisted liposuction)

Widely used by lipoedema experts, WAL uses a pulsed water jet to gently remove fat without damaging surrounding tissues. This protects connective tissue and lymphatic vessels, a major advantage for a condition where the lymphatic system is often compromised. Recovery is typically faster, with less post-operative pain.

Tumescent liposuction

Tumescent liposuction involves injecting an anesthetic and vasoconstrictor solution to minimize bleeding and facilitate fat removal. It provides precise volume control and is often combined with WAL or other techniques for optimal results.

VASER (Ultrasound) liposuction

For dense, fibrous, or nodular fat, VASER liposuction uses selective ultrasound waves to liquefy the fat before extraction. This method preserves surrounding tissues and is especially effective in advanced lipoedema stages where conventional liposuction may be less efficient.

Turquie Santé's partner surgeons choose the most appropriate technique based on your lipoedema stage, the areas affected, and your medical profile. All procedures are performed by board-certified surgeons following strict safety protocols, with personalized post-operative care to ensure optimal outcomes.

Ready to explore your options? Contact Turquie Santé today to discuss the technique that best fits your needs and start your journey toward relief, improved mobility, and confidence.

Lipoedema surgery in Turkey: Step by step

Lipoedema surgery is a precision procedure, often referred to as lympho-selective liposuction. Designed to preserve lymphatic integrity while removing pathological fat, the surgery follows a rigorous protocol in a secure medical environment.

  1. Welcome and finalization of the plan: Upon admission to the partner clinic, your surgeon makes the final markings on the affected areas, guided by preoperative assessment, for millimeter-precise targeting of lipoedema fat.
  2. Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, administered and monitored by a certified anesthesiologist.
  3. Tumescent infiltration: A special physiological solution is infiltrated to reduce bleeding, provide local anesthesia, and gently separate fat from lymphatic vessels. This step is key to safe lipoedema fat removal.
  4. Lympho-protective liposuction: Using specialized micro-cannulas, the surgeon carefully aspirates the pathological fat cells. This is the core of the procedure and ensures maximum preservation of lymphatic structures.
  5. Closure and immediate compression: Micro-incisions are closed carefully. Wearing a custom-made compression garment immediately helps minimize swelling, supports the remodeled tissue, and promotes skin firming.
  6. Recovery room and post-operative care: You are monitored in the recovery room and then transferred to your room. The nursing team provides initial instructions, including hydration and gentle walking, ensuring your comfort and safety.

The benefits of the surgery

Lipedema surgery can significantly reduce the pain and discomfort associated with this condition. Reducing excess fatty tissue helps relieve pressure on the nerves, improving the patient's overall health.

The process facilitates a visible decrease in weight and swelling, often leading to enhanced mobility. Consequently, patients can engage in physical activities that were once challenging for them.

Typically, the outcomes of lipedema surgery endure for an extended period, as long as patients uphold a healthy lifestyle and maintain an appropriate weight.

Furthermore, opting for surgery to address lipoedema often increases self-assurance. Removing excess tissue allows individuals to attain a sculpted and aesthetically pleasing physique, ultimately nurturing a feeling of comfort and confidence in their bodies.

Recovery, aftercare & compression therapy after lipoedema surgery

Recovering from lipoedema surgery is a gradual, structured process focused on healing, mobility, and long-term stability. Partner clinics in Turkey follow evidence-based aftercare protocols to help patients feel supported and confident at every stage.

Immediate recovery & early care

Right after surgery, patients are monitored to ensure comfort and stable vitals. You receive clear guidance on hydration, gentle movement, incision care, and prescribed medication to manage pain and inflammation.

Most patients can stand and walk carefully the same day, a crucial step that helps reduce swelling and stiffness.

Compression therapy & lymphatic support

Compression garments play a central role in shaping the treated areas and supporting the lymphatic system. They are typically worn:

Depending on your needs, custom-made medical compression may be recommended to optimize contouring and comfort.

To enhance recovery, surgeons often advise manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) once the initial swelling stabilizes. MLD helps reduce fluid retention, improve mobility, and accelerate overall healing.

Mobility, activity & return to daily life

Healing is progressive, and timelines vary with each patient. Generally:

These milestones depend on the extent of surgery and the number of treated areas.
