Choosing a lipedema surgeon: questions

How do I compare lipedema surgeons?

Compare like with like: the surgeon's confirmed specialty, the hospital, what the package includes (hospital nights, hotel, transfers, aftercare), the price and patient reviews. You can sort the list by price, number of reviews or years of experience, and filter it, for example by surgeon gender. Then ask two or three surgeons for a written quote.

What should I ask a lipedema surgeon before I book?

Ask which stage the surgeon thinks you have and whether you need more than one operation; which areas are treated in each operation and the price of each; whether the technique is lymph-sparing; whether skin tightening is included; how long you wear compression and whether a garment is included; and who to contact after you are home.

How are surgeons ranked on this page?

The default order is the &NewMe ranking, a score built from relevance and verified expertise for the treatment, recent activity, patient reviews (number and rating), verification and completeness of information, hospital accreditation, how actively the provider works with &NewMe, and experience with patients from your country. Providers with incomplete or unverified information are shown after those with complete, verified information. Commission rates do not affect ranking, and paid placements are labelled Sponsored. Read how we rank providers.

What is the difference between a hospital surgeon and an independent surgeon?

A hospital surgeon (staff) is employed by the hospital. An independent surgeon runs their own practice and operates in hospitals they choose, often two or three at different budget levels - your written quote names the hospital for your operation. On this page, 0 are hospital surgeons and 4 are independent surgeons. See how we verify providers.

What does "Verified by &NewMe" mean?

We found official public records for the hospital (Ministry of Health authorisation for international patients or a HealthTürkiye listing), the surgeon's specialty on an official profile, and the link between the surgeon and the hospital. The badge confirms public records - it is not a guarantee of your result, and providers cannot pay for it. No badge does not mean a provider failed a check. How we verify.

Are the prices on this page final?

They are the package prices the providers give us, set by the providers. Your exact price depends on your plan and is confirmed in a written quote before you pay anything.
