Cost of your lipedema surgery

LIPOCURA® stands for holistic treatment – from the initial consultation to full healing and beyond – to a new attitude towards life. In addition to our speciality, liposuction for lipedema, we offer exclusive additional services that are included in the total package for you without extra fees. You will find a detailed list of our services clearly arranged in our All-Round Package.

All-Round-Package

Lipedema treatment

Our comprehensive therapy approach includes numerous additional services at no extra charge for the best possible surgical result:

 

Initial consultation

Our initial consultation includes a detailed explanation of all aspects of lipedema and liposuction for lipedema, a thorough (ultrasound) examination, detailed information and medical history as well as photo documentation. We take enough time to discuss all questions and wishes with you in all serenity and in a protected space. Of course, a second consultation is also possible.

The following services are included in the initial consultation:

  • 3D scan/photo documentation
  • Detailed anamnesis – we take our time
  • Ultrasound examination
  • LIPOBOOK or LIPO journal
  • Doctor’s letter
  • Individually adapted treatment plan
  • Tips and tricks for everyday life with lipedema
  • Extensive examination on possible tightening methods (optional)

For patients with statutory health insurance, we charge a fee of € 70 for the in-depth initial consultation or € 20 for telephone counselling / online counselling. A potentially required second consultation is already included in the fee. Since LIPOCURA® is a private clinic, these costs are usually not covered by statutory health insurance. In some cases, patients with private health insurance can apply to have the costs covered by their health insurance company.

Please note that we have to charge a cancellation fee for appointments that are not cancelled in time. This fee is € 30 for cancellations less than 48 hours before the consultation.

Guide

All about lipedema

Do you already know our guidebook on the subject of lipedema? You will receive the book worth € 29.80 free of charge with our initial consultation at home.

Surgery costs

The cost depends on the degree of lipedema, the areas to be treated and the number of liposuctions to be performed. We therefore determine the costs for the holistic treatment during the initial consultation and after a thorough examination. You will receive a transparent cost proposal without hidden fees.

Benefit from our holistic treatment.
Our experienced LIPODOCS have the greatest corrective expertise in previous surgeries; thanks to the latest techniques, we can treat all areas and also remove up to 10% of the body weight in one operation.

The surgery fees are to be transferred 4 weeks before the surgery.
Please note that we have to charge a cancellation fee of 20% of the total OP costs for cancellations less than 4 weeks before the surgery.

Important tip!

Liposuction for lipedema is not a cosmetic operation. If you have medical confirmation that the removal of the diseased fat cells is medically indicated, the costs can be recognized by the tax office as an extraordinary burden. In order to obtain a tax refund, you can therefore submit an application to the tax office. Questions on this topic? We will be happy to help.

Cost absorption by health insurance providers

In some cases, it is now possible for privately insured patients to have their costs covered by health insurance. For patients with stage III lipedema, for example, it is possible to bill the treatment as a health insurance benefit, provided certain conditions are met. This decision by the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) is initially limited until the end of 2024.

We will be happy to discuss all details in a personal consultation. Here, we will find out whether the costs can be covered for you and, if desired, support you in the application process.
