In 116 women with stage 2-3 lipedema undergoing liposuction, postoperative hematologic and electrolyte changes (lower hemoglobin/hematocrit, higher leukocytes, mild electrolyte shifts) were mild, remained within physiological ranges, and were not associated with adverse outcomes, reflecting predictable hemodilution.

The study addresses safety of liposuction for lipedema by examining postoperative lab changes, finding them mild and clinically insignificant; it supports safety but does not directly test overall effectiveness, adding a narrower safety-mon
