This review of surgical lymphology describes lymph-sparing liposuction (AMLD/Lymphological Liposculpture) for lipohyperplasia dolorosa as eliminating intractable pain and reducing limb circumference while obviating the need for lifelong complete decongestive therapy (CDT/TDC), framing surgery as an option when conservative measures fail.
