Lymphedema occurs primarily in the arms and legs, it being a chronic condition where excess fluid collects in body tissues, which in turn cause swelling and overall discomfort. Liposuction is an ideal method of treatment against lymphedema because it cleans out the affected areas and makes you feel better as a whole. Gynecomastia is when males build fat beneath the breasts, resembling that of a female set of breasts. Lipodystrophy syndrome is when too much fat goes to one area of the body, in which liposuction comes to the rescue by ensuring the fat in your body is evenly distributed throughout. Lipomas are never severe, though they must be treated before they have the chance to be, as they begin as benign tumors.
