Liposuction seems dangerous with lipid anomalies
Sep 26, 2003
I would like to encourage people who might be considering liposuction to make sure they haven't acquired something similar to(if not the same as) Madelungs disease before risking liposuction. I am among the Madelungs patients who have had liposuction only to have it spread the disease rapidly through my body and make me worse than I was before the liposuction. I'm not saying don't have Crix belly fat removed its definitely bad from a health standpoint to let it remain but just choose a method other than liposuction. I know that there are some people who do okay with liposuction. You can perhaps minimize your risks from it by having testing to make sure you haven't begun to have mitochondria mutation before having liposuction.

Response from Dr. Moyle

Thanks for your testimony.
Madelungs's syndrome is a rare mitochondrial disease associated with head and neck fat accumulations. Surgery is often recommended.
Liposuction can never be used to help fat inside the abdomen
