Understanding Lipedema with Prof. Dr. Ferit Demirkan

What you will learn
The session is educational, not a sales pitch. It is built around the questions patients ask most often.
What lipedema actually is
How lipedema differs from obesity and lymphedema, why it is so often missed, and how it is diagnosed.
The stages and what they mean
Stage 1 to Stage 3 explained in plain language, and how stage influences the treatment options available to you.
What surgery can and cannot do
An honest look at liposuction for lipedema — realistic outcomes, limits, recovery, and who is and is not a suitable candidate.
Conservative and combined care
Compression, manual lymphatic drainage, movement and nutrition, and how these work alongside — not instead of — surgery.
Live questions and answers
An open Q&A at the end. Ask your own questions directly, anonymously if you prefer.
How it works
A small, focused session so every participant can be heard.
Free and online
Join from anywhere by video. There is no cost and no commitment.
Live German captions
The session is in English with live German captions, so German-speaking participants can follow comfortably.
A small group
Roughly 15 to 20 participants per session, kept intentionally small to allow real interaction.
No obligation
Attending the webinar commits you to nothing. It is purely educational.
A limited number of free consultations
Alongside the webinar, a small number of complimentary one-to-one consultation slots are offered to attendees who choose to apply.
- Spots are limited and offered to a small number of applicants only.
- Applicants are selected by medical suitability — reviewed by the surgical team — not first-come-first-served and never by lottery.
- Selection happens before the webinar, so you attend to learn, not to compete for a slot.
- Applying is entirely optional. You can register for the webinar without applying.
This honest, merit-based approach is deliberate: a free consultation is meaningful only when it goes to the people it can genuinely help.
