I Have Been Struggling With Lipodystrophy For Many Years. Is There Support Out There For Treatment?
I reacted to an HIV drug in 2004. This caused major facial muscle loss. As we know it is irreversible. At the time sculptra was offering free applications to HIV patients. They have not been for many years now. My face muscles have continued to weaken along with natural aging. I am 68 looking like 98.

Lipoatrophy, brought on by my early use of Zerit and Crixivan reduced fat my face and arms. I tend to wear long sleeves, because I’m self conscious about my skinny forearms. My face really bothered me, because it made me look sick. For years, I had regular Sculptura injections. In ‘20, I took advantage of the Covid out of office time, to have and recover from a fat transfer procedure. The plastic surgeon liposuctions fat from my belly, processed it, and injected it into my face. This is a permanent procedure. I was careful to use a well respected doctor and not over do it. I wasn’t trying to look younger than my years, just healthy.
It was $5300, which is expensive, but it doesn’t take long to spend that on sculptura injections.
Thank you. This is a good alterative that I will look into. Was there a major cost for this?
Thank you, Xavier.
I hope you have a new year filled with peace.
