Long-term Outcome After Surgical Treatment of Lipedema.

abstract：PURPOSE:The reconstruction of complicated defects with 3-dimensional deficits remains challenging. The reconstruction of these defects requires not only coverage of surface but also appropriate obliteration of dead space, and muscle-chimeric perforator flaps can be a valuable option. Here, we present our experience wit...
