Summary
This study looks at whether liposuction can reduce pain and improve daily life for women with lipedema, a chronic condition that causes painful fat buildup in the legs and arms. About 220 women aged 20–65 with moderate lipedema will receive surgery and be followed for five years. The goal is to provide clear evidence on whether this surgical treatment works and is worth the cost.
