Feasibility of Removing Unencapsulated Lipomas Via Liposuction?

December 25, 2009
Asked By:attorneydavid in memphis

I was diagnosed with either type 2 madelung's (gp) or lipoedema (specialist in CA) (got a biopsy done and lumpy nodular fat). It was recommended that I seek liposuction for the affected areas. The specialist in CA seemed to recommend bodyjet due to some studies out of Germany. My gp indicated he thought local only true tumescent was the way to go. I would like advice on seeking a doctor who will treat the condition and what method would be ideal.
