Dercum’s disease (DD), also called adiposis dolorosa (AD), is known as a rare, chronic and progressive disorder characterized by multiple, subcutaneous painful adipose tissue masses. DD mainly occurs in overweight or obese adults, mostly post-menopausal women. Pain, which can be severe and often debilitating, is frequently, but not always, associated with generalized weakness and mental disturbances. Other associated symptoms are also recorded but are not common in all cases diagnosed as DD. To date, the etiology remains indefinite and the basis of the pain is not yet clear. Thus, DD is mainly described for its symptoms rather than for the pathophysiological process. In sporadic cases, the condition has been reported to be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. To date, treatment is still symptomatic and includes liposuction or surgery for the most painful fatty masses and analgesics to control pain. Nonetheless, the symptoms are often uninfluenced by conventional pain therapy. I...

Liposuction for chronic medical diseases and noncosmetic conditions: review of the literatureThe purpose of this systematic literature review was to evaluate the safety of liposuction techniques and to identify the cosmetic and noncosmetic application of liposuction. Liposuction can be used to improve the quality-of-life in patients with disabling medical conditions in addition to its use for cosmetic rejuvenation. An online search of the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Embase, and SciELO were conducted. Forty-seven original articles reported from 1982 to February 2014 were included in this review. The articles reported on the use as well as the limitations of liposuction for treatment of noncosmetic and disabling medical conditions. The criteria used for selection of articles were: large sample size and originality. The case reports were excluded. There was a broad agreement about the applicability and the efficacy of the liposuction for treatment of these chronic medical conditions, such as multiple systemic lipomatosis, dercum’s disease, chronic lymphedema, and axillary hyperhidrosis. Literatures review confirmed that Liposuction technique has provided significant and stable cure for these chronic medical conditions. Liposuction is the most frequent esthetic procedure for adipose tissue reduction and treatment of lipedema worldwide. Apart from esthetic indications, liposuction can also be used to treat chronic medical diseases and noncosmetic conditions.

Lipedema is a disorder characterized by large amount of subcutaneous fat in the upper and lower legs due to both hyperplasia and hypertrophy. It occurs almost exclusively in females, although a few cases in men have been reported., The condition is relatively rare and often seen in patients with a family history of the disease., Lipedema does not yet have a registered diagnosis in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) of the World Health Organization (WHO), making it difficult to establish its prevalence. However, lipedema is believed to affect nearly 11% of adult women, with noted significant differences in prevalence worldwide.,, The literature search for this report did not find epidemiological data for lipedema in Canada.The cause of lipedema is unknown, and it is likely that the condition is frequently misdiagnosed or wrongly diagnosed as lifestyle-induced obesity or lymphedema (i.e., localized fluid retention and tissue swelling)., However, although lipedema an...

Avoiding unfavourable outcomes in liposuction2013 •
ABSTRACTThe origin of liposuction can be traced to an adverse event by Dujarrier in 1921 when he used a uterine curette to remove fat from the knees of a ballerina ending in an amputation secondary to damage of the femoral artery. The history of liposuction since then has been one of avoiding complications and optimising outcome. After this adverse event, liposuction was abandoned until the 1960′s when Schrudde revived the practice using small stab incisions and sharp curettage with the secondary suction to aspirate the freed tissue. This technique was associated with a high incidence of complications especially seroma and skin necrosis. Illouz then replaced the curette with a blunt cannula connected to vacuum pump thus avoiding the complications of a sharp curette. Despite the presence of various techniques for liposuction, suction assisted liposuction (SAL) is still the standard technique of liposuction. This article aims to discuss literature regarding the various aspects of lipo...

Lipedema is a disproportionate, symmetrical fatty swelling characterized by pain and bruising existing almost exclusively among women. We undertook a systematic review of the available literature about lipedema, given the lack of knowledge and little evidence about this disorder especially among obesity experts. Diagnosis of lipedema is usually based on clinical features. Symmetrical edema in the lower limbs with fatty deposits located to hips and thighs usually appears at puberty and often affects several members of the same family. Main disorders considered for differential diagnosis are lymphedema, obesity, lipohypertrophy and phlebedema. Treatment protocols comprise conservative (decongestive lymphatic therapy) and surgical (liposuction) approaches. Early diagnosis and treatment are mandatory for this disorder otherwise gradual enlargement of fatty deposition causes impaired mobility and further comorbidities like arthrosis and lymphatic insufficiency.
