Abstract
To examine the usefulness of liposuction surgery on diabetic patients with lipohypertrophy. 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. Our patient's lipohypertrophy was immediately cured by the liposuction procedure. Liposuction surgery could be useful in patients with diabetic lipohypertrophy who do not respond to more conservative treatments.
