In 191 women with stage 3 lower-limb lipedema, a standardized two-stage lymph-sparing VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction protocol reduced mean total limb circumference by 6.40 cm and mean VAS symptom score from 6.04 to 3.17 (p<0.001), with 89.8% patient satisfaction and complications including seroma (5.75%), skin necrosis (2.09%), and transfusion (3.14-4.18%).
