In a survey of US women with lipedema undergoing reduction surgery, lipo-lymphedema cases showed worse functional disability scores than earlier-stage lipedema (significant inverse correlation between stage/lipo-lymphedema and LEFS score, r²=0.11, P=0.0001), and surgery improved mobility most in advanced stages (stage 3: 96%, lipo-lymphedema: 79%).
