I have struggled for almost half of my life. Today I am 27, but at the age of 14 I literally got my fat from nature. Although I wasn’t really considered overweight at just under 60 kg and 1.60 m tall, my legs and bottom were much fuller than the rest of my body. For my family and the people around me, there was only one reason for this: secret trips to the fridge. And these insinuations basically never stopped. While my friends presented themselves confidently in short skirts and went to the outdoor pool in summer, I remained on the outside and lived with the unflattering reactions to my shapeless proportions. Even back then, I had a dream: a drink with fat-dissolving power, like the kind you see in the washing-up liquid industry. If only everything in life were that simple …
Despite the complexes about my appearance, I managed to complete my training as an optician with flying colors. For the first time in my life, I felt a sense of pride. Everything was almost perfect. But only almost. Neither a balanced diet nor sport made my legs and bottom look slimmer. Even regular manual lymphatic drainage did not bring the desired results. My last straw was compression stockings. With no effect. I became wider and wider, my face longer and longer.
At some point, I went to the doctor because of pain in my legs. And suddenly I heard a completely new term that I had never heard before – lipoedema, the medical term for an abnormal distribution of fat in the body. It is divided into three stages according to severity: I for the least severe and III for the most severe. After all those years of futile “fat fighting”, the diagnosis that I had already reached stage III didn’t really surprise me. But I suddenly felt completely relieved. On the one hand, I finally knew my opponent and, on the other, I received the welcome news that statutory health insurance companies would now cover the costs of surgery for stage III patients.
Of all the surgical procedures available on the market, I was most impressed by water-jet assisted liposuction (WAL), which is also considered to be particularly gentle and painless. The search for a suitable facility for this procedure was just as straightforward. My sister told me that her best friend had been treated for cellulite a year earlier at UNIQAESTHETICS®, a renowned private practice based in Unna. Since then, oranges have only been on her menu and are no longer an issue on her thighs.
My start to a completely new life definitely began at UNIQAESTHETICS®. Here, the experts finally got rid of the bulky fat with WAL. And at the same time removed the unsightly spider veins on my legs. In addition to the high level of technical and medical expertise, the humanity with which the team treated me the whole time was unparalleled. As my gratitude for this help can hardly be put into words, I’ll just say thank you.
