Patient pathway · International patients
International patients reach surgery at the Lymphatic Disease Program at Balaton Private Clinic in four clear steps: you send a short enquiry and then share your records securely, have an online consultation with Dr. Balázs Mohos, travel to Veszprém, Hungary, for an in-person assessment and the final treatment plan, and then receive treatment followed by aftercare at home. You decide about travel only after you have received a written professional recommendation.

The four steps
Each step has a clear purpose. You only travel once a written recommendation confirms that surgery is a reasonable option for you.
From home
Start with a short enquiry through the consultation form. Please do not attach medical documents to the form. Our written reply, within a few working days, tells you which records to prepare (diagnosis, medical history, imaging reports and your compression therapy record) and how to share them securely. These records allow Dr. Mohos to assess your case before the consultation, so the time together is spent on your questions and options.
Short enquiry Written reply Records shared securely No travel needed
Online, from home
Dr. Mohos reviews your case with you in a booked online appointment. Afterwards you receive a written professional recommendation and an estimated cost. If surgery is not the right option, the recommendation explains why.

In Veszprém, a clinical examination and ICG lymphography confirm the findings of the online consultation. Dr. Mohos then agrees the final treatment plan with you.

Balaton Private Clinic, then at home
Surgery takes place at Balaton Private Clinic. For most procedures the hospital stay is one night. Back home, your local therapist continues compression and decongestive therapy, and we review your progress remotely at scheduled intervals. As the limb gets smaller in the first months, compression garments usually need to be refitted.

Before you book
A consultation is most useful when your records are ready. Our reply to your enquiry tells you how to share them securely. It is intended for adults who are considering surgery.
Online consultations are booked appointments.
Is it for you?
Online consultations are for adults who are considering surgical treatment for lymphedema or lipedema and can share their records. If you first want general information about the conditions and treatment options, start with our condition pages.
Travelling to Hungary
Veszprém is a historic city in western Hungary, close to Lake Balaton.
Recovery times differ between procedures. See the typical timelines for lymphedema surgery and lipedema surgery.
No. The first consultation takes place online, from home. You travel to Veszprém only for the in-person assessment and treatment, after you have received a written professional recommendation.
Dr. Mohos reviews your records and discusses your symptoms, previous treatment and goals with you. Afterwards you receive a written professional recommendation and an estimated cost.
Your diagnosis and medical history, documentation of at least 6 months of complete decongestive therapy, imaging reports if available (ICG lymphography, lymphoscintigraphy, MRI or ultrasound), recent photographs and limb measurements, and a list of your current medications. You do not need to send them with your first enquiry: our reply tells you how to share them securely.
The written recommendation explains why surgery is not the right option at this point and what alternatives make sense. Each indication is a professional decision based on your records and clinical findings.
For most lymphedema and lipedema procedures the hospital stay is one night. Your overall stay in Hungary depends on the procedure and is planned individually.
Your local therapist continues compression and decongestive therapy, and our team reviews your progress remotely at scheduled intervals.
