The 20 Best Familial Partial Lipodystrophy Doctors in Tonga

Familial partial lipodystrophy is a rare condition that is characterized by the loss of fatty (adipose) tissue that is found underneath the skin (subcutaneous). Affected individuals typically lose subcutaneous adipose tissue from the arms; legs; and the truncal region, which includes the chest, abdomen, and hips. Familial partial lipodystrophy is part of a group of disorders known as lipodystrophies, which can cause the loss of varying amounts of adipose tissue. The severity of familial partial lipodystrophy and the specific signs and symptoms that are seen in affected individuals can vary, even among members of the same family.
