Lymphedema is a chronic and progressive disease, consisting of the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, generally due to blockage of lymphatic flow. This accumulation can cause skin lesions such as dermal thickening, cell proliferation, and fibrosis. ⠀ It manifests as swelling of a body part, being more common in extremities such as an arm or a leg. ⠀ One treatment option for lymphedema is liposuction, which reduces the volume of the affected area and improves the patient's quality of life. ⠀ It is important for the patient to know that it is necessary to investigate and understand the cause of this lymphedema before deciding on any treatment. 😉 ⠀ #plasticsurgery #plasticsurgeon #health #liposuction #lymphedema #selfesteem #lipedema #nolipedema
