Lymphedema is a chronic pathology with a real impact on the quality of life of patients. Despite optimal medical management of patients, some patients still have no pitting edema on which the medical treatment has no effect. It is adipose tissue secondary to the evolution of lymphedema. It is often painful and important in terms of volume with the resulting functional consequences. The investigators propose to these patients a surgical management complementary to the optimal medical treatment by microlipoaspiration associated or not with a dermolipectomy. This surgical management began in 2014 in our service. The investigators want to evaluate the impact on quality of life of patients in this surgical management in addition to medical care.
