LIPOEDEMA
DIAGNOSIS
The diagnosis of lipoedema is an extremely simple one to make from a clinical point of view for someone familiar with the subject, without the need for sophisticated additional technical examinations.
You can make the diagnosis yourself, with just a couple of judicious explanations.
THE PAIN OF LIPOEDEMA
The chronic pain of lipoedema is due to the compression of deep vessels and peripheral micro-vessels by fat, preventing proper tissue oxygenation.
TREATMENTS
In the feedback I get from my patients, the wearing of compression stockings advocated by many worsens the pain rather than relieving it. And that’s logical.
What’s more, compressing fat has never caused its owner to lose an ounce of that fat.
The only way to help is to remove this fat, which, once built up, is impossible to eliminate through a balanced diet and physical exercise, although these are recommended to avoid aggravating the situation.
THE HOUYOUX TECHNIQUE
In my growing experience with lipoedema, once the normal postoperative pain has disappeared, and lasts from a few days to a fortnight, the pain typical of lipoedema fades away and never returns to the treated area, which is a real relief for all my patients. In fact, they talk about it more and more freely in associations and on social networks.
This relief is my greatest satisfaction, since I perfected my cannula and the technique it enables me to perform since October 2014.
Information Consultation
In order to provide as much information as possible about liposculpture in general, and lipoedema in particular, I have produced a video covering the theoretical part of my consultations. It lasts 1 hour 21 minutes and will answer the majority of your questions, as if you were attending the consultation yourself. You are also welcome to send me photos from the front, side and back — including the feet — along with your weight, height and the areas you would like to have treated. I will then be able to provide you with a very precise quote. Afterwards, I will see you in person to give you my professional opinion and answer any remaining questions. This approach saves time for everyone and allows us to see more patients suffering from lipoedema during consultations.
To make an appointment, please contact Eva, my assistant, at 079 596 63 04.
Here is the link to the information video, which is essential for a thorough understanding of my technique. We will be happy to meet you in consultation after you have watched it.

Important preliminary remark: The photographic examples shown above are intended to provide additional information to the text explaining the techniques. The photos are, of course, unretouched, and the procedures were performed by Dr. Houyoux personally. The patients pictured have explicitly agreed that Docteur Houyoux may use their photos for information purposes. They can in no way be considered as a guarantee of results, as each case must be discussed individually.
