, MD Bettina Demal

As a specialist in anesthesiology and intensive care medicine, I completed my further training at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich with senior physician status.

Safe, empathetic, and individualized patient care has been at the heart of my work from the very beginning. As a senior physician in anesthesiology at the Iatrosklinik Munich for many years , I accompanied the development of surgical lipedema treatment from the outset and was involved in interdisciplinary care in a position of responsibility. In the process, I developed a deep understanding of the special medical and emotional needs of women with lipedema.

Motivated by the desire to support patients even before they make their decision, I began offering initial consultations at one of the leading lipedema centers—Lipocura Munich—in 2018. This allowed me to combine medical knowledge with personal empathy.

I have been part of thePANTEA® team of experts in Munich since September 2025. We are united by our commitment to combining medical excellence with safety, empathy, and individuality. Every patient is treated as a person—not just a diagnosis.

My focus is on initial consultations for lipedema. For me, these consultations are the beginning of a trusting relationship. I take the time to listen, explain, and work together to develop an individual treatment plan — conservative or surgical, including aesthetic aspects and personal expectations.

My goal: Every woman leaves the practice feeling confident, secure, and optimistic —as a first step toward greater ease and a new body image.
