Lymphedema Surgery

Lymphedema surgery is a procedure in plastic and reconstructive surgery aimed at reducing swelling caused by fluid buildup in the body's tissues, often due to lymphatic system issues. The surgery may involve removing excess tissue, transferring lymph nodes, or reconnecting lymphatic vessels to improve fluid drainage. This can help alleviate discomfort, enhance mobility, and improve the appearance of affected areas. By addressing the underlying causes of lymphedema, these surgical options can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from this condition.
