Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

When lymphoedema has been present for a while, the proteins and cells in the fluid cause the build-up of fat in the arm or leg. This is not because you are putting on weight, it is a direct result of the lymphoedema fluid. When fat as well as fluid has built up in the arm or leg, the only way to correct this part of the swelling is to directly remove it by liposuction. Liposuction for lymphoedema also requires specialist training, and all of our surgeons have spent time with the pioneer of this surgery in Sweden. Importantly, it should not be confused with cosmetic liposuction – it is very different. This operation is more invasive than LVA, and requires a general anaesthetic where you are asleep for the procedure. Most patients stay in hospital for around three days afterwards. We make a number of tiny incisions on your arm or leg, and use a suction device to remove the fat from under the skin. Most people have around four to six weeks off work, but most daily activities can be performed much sooner. Because the fluid part of lymphoedema is not corrected by this procedure, you need to wear compression garments afterwards, or undertake one of our other procedures at a later date to help with management of excess lymphatic fluid
