I did a literature review on Lymphoedema treatment in my final year that was published in the NZ Journal of physio. You can have a read here:

A combination of skin care, massage, exercises and bandaging or compression garments is the most effective treatment, although, as noted, these is no consensus on how much of each part and which part has the most effect.

Hope the article helps
