[Lymphologic liposculpture]

Abstract

Surgical approaches are usually not part of the strand rad approach in lymphologic therapy. Classic therapy is conservative and controls symptoms rather than seeking cures. Plastic surgical tissue reduction results in impaired lymph flow in many cases. Improving the lymphologic disease while reducing the need for complex compression therapy are major therapeutic goals. Lymphologic liposculpture offers a successful way to treat lipohyperplasia dolorosa and offers a new concept in the treatment of secondary lymphedema.
