Secondary Objectives * Estimate the proportion of participants who have lymphedema that persists at 2 years after ILR surgeries. * Determine baseline lymphatic vessel anatomical or functional characteristics associated with increased risk of lymphedema following ILR. * Evaluate changes in systemic inflammatory mediators and systemic immune cell function affiliated with lymphedema development.
