AI Article Synopsis
- Lupus panniculitis is a chronic form of cutaneous lupus that causes painful, firm nodules on areas like the legs, face, and trunk, potentially leading to scarring or loss of fat in those areas.
- Patients suffering from lipoatrophy due to lupus panniculitis may experience distress, and there is varying information on treating it with fat transfer or fillers.
- A case study highlights a 37-year-old woman who successfully restored volume in her right cheek using injectable hyaluronic acid filler after experiencing lipoatrophy following a period of stable disease.
Article Abstract
Lupus panniculitis is a chronic subtype of cutaneous lupus erythematosus. It typically presents as tender, firm subcutaneous nodules on the proximal extremities, face, and/or trunk and can leave behind disfiguring scarring or lipoatrophy in the post-inflammatory phase. When a patient presents with physical or emotional distress secondary to lupus panniculitis-induced lipoatrophy, there are variable data on treatment with autologous fat transfer and injectable fillers. We present the case of a 37-year-old female presenting with lipoatrophy of the right cheek, after 2 years of quiescent disease, undergoing successful volume restoration with injectable hyaluronic acid filler.
