I have Marfan Syndrome. What are my safe options for permanent fat removal procedures?

Asked By:disastershipblonde in Cambridge, GB

I have a small, stubborn tummy pooch and am looking at permanent fat removal, particularly Vaser lipo. However, I have a connective tissue disorder - Marfan Syndrome - and worry I will travel a long way for a consultation only to have the doctor refuse to treat me. Is this likely, or is there another comparable option that would work for me? I have already tried laser lipolysis, and the results were basically nothing, and not permanent.
