The surgeon: The liposuction of the lipedema will be performed by Dr. med. Hans-Ulrich Püschel: After a surgical education at the University Hospital of Marburg and Giessen, Germany, he did research as a scholar of the German Research Society for 2 years at the Institute of Medical Molecular Biology at the Medical University of Luebeck, Germany about connective tissue and wound healing. After that he had his Dermatological and Dermatosurgical education at the University of Cologne, Germany. Then his teacher in Aesthetic Liposuction was one of the famoust Liposuction Surgeons in Europe, Dr. Sattler of the Rosenpark-Clinic in Darmstadt, Germany. Since 20 years now Dr. Püschel performs liposuction under aestetic conditions. 12years ago he did an education in lymphology, as Germany is the only country in the world with a seamless supply chain in Lymphology. So suddenly he had to do not only with lymphedema but with lipedema as well. In former years lipedema was treated conservatively as described in the patient leaflet if the doctors knew this new entity at all. Since 15 years the method of lymphological liposculpture/liposuction appeared. It is a special kind of liposuction: The surgeon not only has to have a lot of experience in the liposuction procedure but has to have a special education in lymphology, special equipment is required and a special liposuction procedure and a special post-treatment are necessary. So he started this procedure 14years ago and perfectioned it to the state where we are now: absolutely specialised.
