– Legs up. – Early mobilization. – Exercise therapy, such as bed exercises.
You will be put on the compression suit after the surgery in the operating room, sometimes with an additional wrapping bandage. In bed, your legs should be ele­vated. After the operation, it is important that you mobilize as soon as possible. As soon as you can sit at the edge of the bed without any problems, they should move to standing as early as possible, rst under escort and then alone. Stop short of the bed and listen to your body. It will tell you if you can already take your rst steps, rst at room level and then at ward level. Walking is of immense importance, as it

not only stimulates circulation but also activates the muscle pump in the calves. The muscle pump in the calves supports a return ow of blood from the legs to the heart.
But also movement exercises in bed help to prevent thrombosis. For this purpose, we would like to give you two exercises that you can do alone in bed.
Exercise number 1 (Fig.3.38): You lie relaxed in bed with your arms placed loosely beside your body. Your legs are stretched out in bed and the tips of your toes point upwards. Now bend and stretch your toes as shown in Fig. 3.38 15 times.
Exercise number 2 (Fig.3.39): As soon as you can sit, sit on a chair and place your feet on the oor. Press the heels of both feet rmly on the oor and lift the tops of the feet vigorously. Keep the tips of your toes up briey. Then roll over the tips of your toes with pressure. Repeat this exercise 15 times as well. Try to do the exer­cises several times a day.
Summary thrombosis prophylaxis
– Take in sufcient uids (drinking, infusions). – Movement and exercises for the muscles of the lower legs. – Prophylaxis injection for at least 4days. – Compression garments.

Symptoms of Possible Thrombosis
– Increasing swelling of the legs with a feeling of heaviness and/or tension. – Pain in the leg, often especially in the lower legs in the area of the calves
(pressure pain).
– Overheating or blue discoloration of the skin.
If you have symptoms that make you suspect you may have a
c
thrombosis, please present to your doctor or an emergency room immediately.
A thrombosis can develop into a pulmonary embolism with far-reaching consequences, such as intensive medical treatment or, in the worst case, death. A patient dying during liposuction is an extremely rare complication, and we

don’t want to scare you. However, the rare complications must also be addressed, because no one can rule out a complication in advance.
“Take a deep breath” is the motto. After a procedure, pain can be respon­sible for your inability to breathe properly. This can lead to lung ventilation problems or, even worse, pneumonia. But not only deep breathing, but also exercises with the so-called Triow help to ventilate the lungs well.
Ask the hospital for a Triflow to do your breathing exercises.
c
To perform the lung ventilation exercise with the Triow, place the mouth­piece of the Triow in your mouth (Fig.3.40), seal the mouthpiece with your lips and inhale so deeply that the balls slowly rise up one after the other (Fig.3.41). It is better to hold only one or two balls up for as long as possible than to hastily try to pull all three balls up. It is best to repeat this exercise every hour, trying to pull the balls up more than 5 times. Rotate the Triow and exhale. Likewise, try to keep all the balls up as long as possible.
If you have trouble breathing or any of the symptoms listed in the
c
overview, please present to your doctor or an emergency room immediately.
This was an excerpt of possible complications and risks. Before surgery, a detailed discussion will take place in which you will be informed about these and other risks.

Possible Symptoms of Pulmonary Artery Embolism
– Shortness of breath when inhaling or exhaling, possibly accelerated
breathing. – Pain when breathing and chest pain, which may also radiate. – Palpitations. – Anxiety, possibly with sweating. – Dizziness, fatigue, fainting. – Cough and/or hemoptysis. – Unusual sounds when breathing.
3.7.6 Course oftheComplex-Operative Therapy Plan
Many people wonder in which order the liposuctions is performed. Let us now go into the sequence of the complex surgical therapy plan and especially the sequence of the planned liposuctions integrated into it.
The complex-surgical treatment plan includes:
1. Conservative treatment of lipedema with compression therapy, if necessary lym­phatic drainage, if edema should be present (optional).
2. Weight analysis and, if necessary, treatment of concomitant obesity (from life­style modication to metabolic surgery).
3. Liposuctions for the treatment of lipedema.
4. Tightening surgery for foreseeable, physically limiting skin-soft tissue excess.
In the following, we will discuss point 3, how the individual liposuctions proceed.
3 Treatment ofLipedema
https://t.me/med1917

Many providers of liposuction for lipedema have their own concept of how and in what sequence liposuction is performed. We have our own names for the different procedures: the “bottom-up concept,” the “outside-in concept,” the “holistic suction concept,” the “lipedema compression concept” and the concept of SRL liposuction, systematic-regional liposuction.
“Bottom-up” Concept
In the “bottom-up“concept, the lower parts of the body are suctioned rst and the upper part of the body in subsequent operations. An example would be suctioning the lower legs and knee region in one operation; the thighs would be suctioned in a second and nally the hips in a third.
“From the outside in” Concept
In the “from the outside to the inside” concept, liposuction of the outer sides is per­formed in a rst operation and liposuction of the inner sides in another operation. An example here would be liposuction of the lower legs, knees, thighs, and outer sides of the hips rst. In the follow-up surgery, the inner sides of the lower leg, knee, and thigh would be suctioned.
“Concept of Holistic Suction”.
The “concept of holistic liposuction” suctions all body areas, as the theory is that lipedema “migrates” after liposuction and then affects other areas.
“Lipedema Compression Concept”
The “lipedema compression concept” is interpreted differently. Many suction all areas “somewhat” and again and again in different interventions until a satisfactory result is achieved.
“SRL Liposuction Concept”.
SRL stands for “systematic regional liposuction.” This concept has emerged after many years of searching for the best approach for us and many plastic surgery col­leagues. It includes, among other things, the systematic working off of the affected regions, the sequence of procedures, and the technique of how liposuction is to be performed. It does not matter whether we perform WAL, PAL, or other liposuction.
SRL stands for “systematic-regional liposuction” in which we try to
c
close regions if possible and not suction them twice.
To understand our concept, it is necessary to consider many individual factors. It is necessary to consider how the anatomy is, how liposuction works and is per­formed, what happens in the body as a result of liposuction and what the healing process is like. Our concept of systematic regional liposuction (SRL liposuction), due to the reasons listed above, always tries to close off regions as much as possible to avoid second and third liposuction of a region. At the same time, we must not disregard aesthetics and must continuously suction the transitions as well. This does not mean that small corrections here and there or even second aspirations cannot
162

Z. Jandali et al.
occur, but we try to completely aspirate and close a region in one procedure if possible.
But now it still depends on the fat deposits present. If these exceed an appropriate volume, secondary liposuction must be performed in any case. However, in about 70% of cases, we can avoid this.
If we look at a classic case and see that lipedema is signicantly located in the hip–thigh region and lower legs, often with a moderate expression, we can reach all affected areas in two liposuctions. One liposuction would then be performed in the supine position and another in the prone position.
Supine position means that you lie on your back during the operation.
c
In the prone position, it is the other way around accordingly.
During these individual liposuctions, we suction off a maximum amount of fatty tissue according to medically justiable criteria. Of course, transitional areas are always suctioned as well, to obtain a harmonious transition between the regions as far as possible. It is not possible to suction off the entire fatty tissue, that is, com­pletely, without leaving any fatty tissue behind. Those colleagues who advertise or even make these statements must be questioned very critically. However, as little as possible fatty tissue should remain.
A statement like “we can remove all the fatty tissue or all the diseased
c
fatty tissue” is not serious. Give a wide berth to such users.
In the rst operation in the supine position, we nally get good access to the outer sides of the hips, the thighs (front, outer, and inner sides) and also the inner sides of the knees. If there is also lipedema on the lower legs, we can treat the front, outer and inner sides of the lower legs as well. This is done until we reach our reasonable vol­ume limits or the maximum duration of surgery (for volume limits Section 0).
The second operation is liposuction in the prone position. In this session, the outer sides of the hips (buttocks if necessary) are again treated and completed as a transitional region. The same applies to the inner thighs. Suction is applied to the backs of the thighs and the transitional region of the inner sides of the knees and the inner and outer sides of the lower legs. We often pay special attention to the lower leg region in this operation. This region, which is the most challenging to suction, requires highly precise work and a lot of experience.
Depending on the extent of the rst liposuction, the second liposuction can fol­low at the earliest after 2 months, better after 3–6 months. A too short interval between liposuctions is not recommended for medium to pronounced liposuctions, since the physical strain is quite high and the bruises and scarring need time to recede. Likewise, personal–social aspects such as career and family should also be taken into account.
If the affected person also suffers from lipedema in the arms, the arms could be combined with liposuction of the backs, but only if it ts from the circumference. Otherwise, the arms would have to be liposuctioned in a separate procedure.
3 Treatment ofLipedema
https://t.me/med1917
Fig. 3.42 Flowchart of liposuction
163
A three-stage treatment plan is shown in Fig.3.42. In the rst step, liposuction of the fronts is performed, in the second step, liposuction of the backs is performed, and in the third step, liposuction of the arms is performed.
We recommend an interval of at least 2–3months between two operations involv­ing the same transition areas. If liposuction of an area is planned more than once due to a strong manifestation of lipedema, we recommend an interval of at least 6months between the operations.
Some colleagues recommend whole-body liposuction to treat lipedema, that is, liposuction of all areas of the body, because otherwise, lipedema will spread else­where on the body. On the one hand, it is nonsensical to argue this way; on the other hand, the approach makes perfect sense, and always when liposuction is used as the sole surgical component. Especially in the case of obese people, the approach is understandable, but it does not promise long-lasting success.
We also very often advise liposuction of more regions than just the arms, but­tocks, hips, and legs. However, the overall treatment plan must be correct, and the recommendation of extensive liposuction is purely for aesthetic reasons, and we stand by that. Through extensive liposuction, including the back area, anks, abdo­men, and lateral thoracic wall, we can shape an aesthetic and sophisticated body contour beyond the goal of pure pain treatment.
We often recommend suctioning other areas of the body for purely
c
aesthetic reasons.
In Table3.5 you will nd a few examples of typical liposuction plans to help you understand our planning. Although the treatment plan is xed, it is exible in the course and can be readjusted after each procedure. Sometimes this reduces the

number of liposuctions planned as the procedure progresses. Any necessary tighten­ing operations are performed after 6months.
A very frequently asked question is when is the best time for surgerywhen plan­ning to have children. There are different opinions on this and we do not have a general answer. The fear of further aggravation of lipedema is justied and is fre­quently observed. However, we have also observed worsening of lipedema after liposuction and subsequent pregnancy.
We hold the following opinion: A desire to have children always comes rst. For those who do not want to have children for fear of aggravation, we would like to point out that this fear is unjustied, as much can be corrected and achieved afterwards.
It is, therefore, necessary to consider performing liposuction before pregnancy or afterwards. The aim of liposuction before pregnancy would be to remove as much fatty tissue as possible so that there is no signicant increase in volume during preg­nancy. Liposuction after pregnancy would have the advantage of removing areas that may have worsened.
Following thoughts:
– Not every pregnancy is associated with an exacerbation (probability is high,
however).
– Despite liposuction in advance, there may be a signicant increase in lipedema. – Pregnancy often leads to signicant tissue sagging, whether with or without lipo-
suction beforehand.
– Much more important than liposuction in advance is a perfect diet and lifestyle
during pregnancy. There are special courses and concepts for this.
– After the completion of the childbearing process, a holistic approach to body
shape correction, including lipedema treatment, can be created if needed.
