NICE published their updated review regarding liposuction for lymphoedema in April 2022.
This positive resource supports the use of liposuction for those with chronic lymphoedema where the main problem is not fluid, but fatty tissues.
It states that this must only be completed with teams who specialise in managing lymphoedema and in specialist centres, and with agreed peri-operative protocols.
