Liposuction for Lipoedema: Anaemia is a Risk Factor

KREMS, Austria - Feb. 18, 2025 - PRLog -- High-volume liposuction significantly increases the likelihood of secondary complications in anaemic lipoedema patients. This is the key finding of an internationally recognised study conducted by Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences (KL Krems). Based on the analysis of more than one hundred cases of lipoedema, it was clearly demonstrated that patients' blood parameters have a substantial impact on postoperative safety after high-volume liposuction. In contrast, the volume of fat removed was of lesser significance. These insights may contribute to refining treatment strategies and enhancing patient safety in lipoedema surgery.
