I did read on the internet that in Denmark they have had good results with liposuction. Have you heard this too

i havent hard about liposuction for this problem .. i wonder how that would help. Do you have it as a post-cancer complication? Have you ever had any treatment for it? There are treatments available in this country, but as i say i have never heard of lipo for it

Hi Kazza - Contracted it after breast cancer op. At the end of the day its better than what I started with !!

have you had any treatment at all yet? It might be best to start with the more simple treatments and work up to liposuction!

Have a sequential compression machine at home that I use three times a week. Has been the best thing so far - much better than compression sleeves
