Lipedema Treatment in Belgium

Lipedema is a chronic, progressive condition that affects an estimated 11% of women. Despite its prevalence, it remains widely misdiagnosed as obesity or lymphoedema. Maison Ipanema Institute offers specialist conservative management for lipedema clients from across Belgium.

Our Lipedema Treatment Approach

• Clinical Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
• Compression therapy guidance
• RAD diet and anti-inflammatory nutritional support
• Adapted exercise recommendations
• Coordination with medical specialists for diagnosis confirmation
• Psychological support and client education

Stages of Lipedema We Treat

We treat lipedema at all stages, from Stage 1 (smooth skin, early fat changes) through Stage 4 (lipo-lymphoedema). Early intervention significantly slows disease progression and improves quality of life.

Lipedema vs Obesity vs Lymphoedema

Understanding the difference is critical for correct treatment. Lipedema fat is resistant to diet and exercise, painful, bilateral, and disproportionately distributed. Unlike lymphoedema, it spares the feet. Unlike obesity, it is not resolved by caloric restriction. Our specialists can help guide your assessment pathway.
