Liposuction Outcomes in Women with Lipedema and Dercum's Disease: A Literature Review
- In this discussion, we delve into a paper by Anne Williams published in 2019.
- Williams reviewed 10 studies from 2006 to 2019 to evaluate the outcomes of liposuction for women with lipedema and Dercum’s disease.
- She notes that while liposuction is not a cure and may not be suitable for everyone, it is frequently considered when symptoms become severe.
- However, she emphasizes that there is still insufficient evidence to establish clear criteria for determining who is an ideal candidate for this treatment.
