Abstract in brief

  • This study analyzed the long-term effects of liposuction on lipedema patients over a 10-year period, focusing on how factors like age, disease stage, and BMI influence outcomes.
  • It found that liposuction significantly reduced symptoms and the need for complex decongestive therapy, especially in patients with lower BMI (≤35 kg/m²) and early disease stages (I and II).
  • The results suggest that liposuction is most effective for symptom relief and reducing conservative treatment dependence when performed early and in patients with lower BMI levels.]
