Figure 3. Case 1 lymphoscintigram performed 1 year after suction lipectomy. Whole-body lymphoscintigram showed delayed lymphatic flow with partial uptake in both inguinal lymph nodes and poor visualization of lymphatic vessels at 1 h after radiolabeled colloid is injected. At 3 h after injection, lymphatic vessels can be seen with full uptake of nucleotide, consistent with bilateral delayed lymphatic function.
