AESTEA is a long-standing pioneer in the surgical treatment of lipedema — a chronic, painful disorder of subcutaneous fat tissue affecting almost exclusively women that is frequently misdiagnosed as obesity. The clinic specialises in large-volume liposuction, removing up to 10 litres of lipedemic fat in a single operation using the super-wet technique. In the clinic's experience this significantly reduces pain and bruising tendency, restores mobility and improves quality of life, alongside correcting the characteristic disproportionate silhouette. The clinic's reputation in lipedema care draws patients from across Europe, including the UK, with testimonials citing results praised by London lymphoedema specialists. Diagnosis support includes a free online orientation test and professional assessment, and pre-operative consultations are free.
