Excisional Procedures : Liposuction
Brorson, Håkan LU
(2022)
p.189-195
- Abstract
Lymphedema negatively impacts patients’ quality of life, both physiologically and psychologically. Lymph stasis and inflammation result in excess formation of adipose tissue, which makes removal of the deposited subcutaneous fat necessary to eliminate the excess volume. Liposuction, combined with postoperative controlled compression therapy, is the only treatment that gives complete reduction of the excess volume in chronic non-pitting lymphedemas.
