Liposuction of lymphedema of the extremities
(2016) p.721-733- Abstract
Lymphedema is the accumulation of lymph fluid in the interstice with secondary tissue changes. The accumulated lymph stimulates adipose tissue deposition, and a marked adipose tissue hypertrophy can be seen in patients with chronic lymphedema. The basis for all lymphedema treatment is adequate compression therapy. However, if the lymphedema has started to transform into adipose tissue, conservative therapy is no longer sufficient, and liposuction can then give complete and permanent reduction of the excess limb volume.
