ABOUT US

OUR MISSION
At QLS, our mission is to provide lymphoedema patients with advanced surgical options to improve their condition and their understanding of the disease. Through close collaboration with experienced lymphoedema practitioners, we conduct comprehensive clinical assessments, including ICG lymphatic mapping, to identify the most suitable treatment pathways.

Our approach is centered on delivering personalized, holistic care aimed at optimizing health outcomes and quality of life.

We are committed to:
Fostering open communication with both patients and their lymphoedema care teams
Establishing a collaborative network to support ongoing management
Long-term success in lymprodema care.
OUR APPROACH
We are committed to providing the highest quality preoperative assessment for our patients.

To this end, we have enlisted the expertise of Professor Hiroo Suami, a renowned international specialist in lymphatic mapping. Professor Suami, who has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters on the subject, performs advanced ICG lymphatic mapping for our patients in Brisbane.

In collaboration with occupational therapists, we utilize these sophisticated assessments to guide personalized treatment plans and optimize surgical outcomes.
