Lipofilling: A New Therapeutic Option for the Treatment of Lupus Panniculitis-Induced Atrophy

Abstract: Lupus panniculitis is a rare manifestation of cutaneous lupus erythematosus, which may lead to major aesthetic sequelae with a severe impact on patients’ quality of life. We report 2 cases supporting the short- and long-term efficacy and safety of lipofilling in the treatment of lupus panniculitis-induced atrophy. These observations pave the way for prospective, larger-scale studies in patients with scarring lupus panniculitis, provided that the autoimmune pathogenic process is in complete, stable remission.

Nevertheless, it is essential that surgeons have a thorough knowledge of vascular anatomy, as some cases of irreversible blindness have been reported [5].…”

“…Successful fat transfer has been reported in both lupus panniculitis and DLE (Table 4). 1,40–47 Complications from the procedure are rare but can include fat necrosis requiring drainage, as seen in one case report 45 .
