Severe insulin-induced lipohypertrophy successfully treated by liposuction

KJ Hardy, GV Gill and JR Bryson
Department of Medicine, Arrowe Park Hospital, Wirral, United Kingdom.

OBJECTIVE--To examine the usefulness of liposuction surgery on diabetic patients with lipohypertrophy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS--We treated a diabetic patient who suffered from severe localized thigh lipohypertrophy. When she did not respond to conventional treatment of resting the injection site, we recommended liposuction surgery. RESULTS--Our patient's lipohypertrophy was immediately cured by the liposuction procedure. CONCLUSIONS--Liposuction surgery could be useful in patients with diabetic lipohypertrophy who do not respond to more conservative treatments.
