Improvement in Health-Related Quality of Life and Symptoms Following Lipedema Liposuction
This longitudinal study indicates liposuction is an effective treatment for improving HRQoL and symptoms in lipedema patients, although it may not completely restore HRQoL to normative levels. Limitations include potential selection bias, sampling bias, and the need for longer follow-up. The findings support liposuction as a first-line treatment for lipedema and could inform decision-making for both patients and policymakers.
