[Barraquer-Simons syndrome and facial lipo-filling. Apropos of a case].

Authors present a Barraquer-Simons syndrome case. After a quick historical account, they look at the study of the clinical case. They present the different treatments undertaken in order to correct the two different types of anomaly of this syndrome: these are complementary treatments because they consist in taking the fat in excess in the lower half of the body and reinject it in the face. The different etiopathogenic hypothesis are tackled. To conclude, authors insist on the excellent result obtained after a lipo-aspiration: but they notice a near disappearance of the reinjected fat at the face after 4 years. Anyway, lipo-filling can be renewed without risks for the patient and can be an interesting palliative solution.
